Equine Guided Education ~ Horse therapy for Humans

What is Equine Guided Education ?

Time with horses, like time in nature, is soothing for our nervous system and brings us into the present moment. During these fast paced, stressful times many of us live in – supported time in nature, alongside the horses, allows us to re-evaluate who we are and what really matters to us.

The MAGIC of Horses

Many people are captivated by the magnificence of horses. Their power, strength, grace, beauty, freedom, wildness and curiosity, has captivate us for centuries. Horses have evolved from Beasts of Burden, to Cherished Partners in the healing and evolution of the human spirit.

Many of us are drawn to, and inspired by horses, and therefore compelled to listen to their messages. Equine communication is often received with a much higher level of openeness, then feedback from another person.

Clients of equine guided experiences often report feeling lighter, free-er, more at peace and calmer after their time with the herd.

Horses are masters at self-regulating and inter-dependant living. The WAY OF THE HORSE invites humans into embodied experiences of calm, clarity, creativity, compassion, curiosity, kindness and confidence.

What happens?

All interactions with the horses begin on the ground. At liberty, where both horse and human are free to connect and relate in their own way, and at their own pace.

You will be guided through somatic practices that connect body, with mind and spirit. The horses respond to how you show up, with non-judgemental feedback. Inviting you to connect with your authentic self, and move with a centred presence.

Guided interactions include:

Interactions with a single horse, and/or the herd.
Leading in hand, and grooming activities.
Facilitated Round pen sessions, can help participants gain clarity or healing on a particular topic or issue.
Together, we may explore a therapeutic riding experience atop a horse. A mounted moving meditation session, supports further somatic experiencing and embodiment.

If you are looking to find connection in the equine world, Tracy is your girl. My daughter and I have been lucky enough to have been coached with love, respect and grace by Tracy and her horses. We have received countless blessings from the human/horse connection. My daughter & I both know how to communicate more clearly and read their signals. She will teach you how to be in their presence comfortably & respectfully. She can also teach you how to ride & how to connect on the ground & with a herd. Because of Tracy, not only did we gain an amazing coach, but a lifetime friend! We are forever grateful.
