Harmony Equine Therapy

Harmony equine therapy is still ticking away despite the lack of posts!.
Today teddy had a lovely session with a regular client of mine who I also do support work with.

Permission was given from parents to post photos (allowing me to post without her face blurred.)

A client who is learning to exercise horses from the ground rather than riding tested out her bond with teddy today by doing some liberty work.

Liberty work means there are no ropes or ways to contain the horse, you’re only using your body language and bond with the animal to keep them connected and paying attention to your wants and instructions.

Harmony equine therapy has been in business 2 years as of today! 🎉
If you had of told 10 year old me I’d be making a career in the horse industry while being able to help people with disabilities I would of told you your crazy, but here we are.

Teddy has helped people with disabilities such as depression, autism, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, Asperger’s, Down syndrome and acute brain injury. Teaching them animal husbandry life skills and helping clients to gain self awareness and understanding of their environment and emotions.

Along with my qualifications in support work I’m also a trained horse riding instructor and trail guide!.
I did this training back in 2016 for a nationally recognised certification and met some lovely like minded people some of whom I’m still friends with to this day. We trained to give private lessons up to group lessons of 6 people (seen in the video). Training focused on teaching beginners how to ride and the basics of horse husbandry.

Equine therapy really is for anyone!
My 90 year old nanna visited teddy the other day for a relaxing family outing and teddy was as steady as can be for her.

Even clients with walkers are welcome! There is still so much you can do with horses even if you have limited mobility.

A client being the princess she is in full medieval regalia!
It’s lovely to offer playing dress up as play is just as important as learning skills.

A big happy birthday to teddy who is now 15 years old!! 🎂
He has been in my life since he was 9 and I’ve known him since he was 4!

He is the most reliable and trustworthy animal I have ever worked with and we will have many more years of that to come 🎉

Even the support workers for clients that see teddy get to have a go at handling and learning from him!
Not only is it enjoyable for everyone involved but it shows how versatile horses can be for all different types of people!

Cats out of the bag!
I had the amazing opportunity to be selected by The Advertiser to do an interview on side hustle jobs!.
It was a pleasure working with the cadet reporter who wrote the article and I hope this shows the hard work I’ve put into my businesses.

From banking $17,000 at a single market to creative solutions to keep up with rising mortgage repayments, South Australians are looking for ways to make an extra buck.

I am pleased to say that harmony equine therapy has a new base of operations!!
We are now located in the picturesque foothills of the Adelaide hills located 5 minutes from the township of one tree hill.

Sessions will be starting up again after this week to allow for teddy to get used to his new surroundings as moving is stressful not only for us humans but for animals as well.

Teddy letting a client have a feel of what riding without a saddle is like!
Riding without a saddle is known as ba****ck and ba****ck is an amazing way of learning more about your balance as a rider and about the anatomy of the horse as it moves underneath you!

In the day and age of technology it’s still nice to do some marketing the old fashioned way!

Also as you can see we now have a voucher system setup!

All of the different types of riders teddy has been a faithful steed for over the 4yrs I’ve owned him!
From 4yr olds having lead pony rides to 64yr olds who want a trustworthy steed to do the fun stuff like jumping with!
