Stable Steps Equine Assisted Therapy

✨There’s something about the sound of quiet chewing in the stillness.
🐎The way a horse just stands there — not trying to fix you, just being with you.
✨And suddenly, the weight you’ve been carrying doesn’t feel quite so heavy.

No one asks you to explain yourself.
No one hurries you along.
You’re just allowed to be — messy, tired, joyful, anxious, human.

The barn doesn’t care if you cried on the way there.
It welcomes you anyway.
And the horses?
They listen with their whole heart.

It’s not therapy.
But it’s a kind of medicine.
The kind that reaches places words can’t always touch💕

How lucky are we to have this opportunity to have these moments with these amazing animals.
Here is my son who is normally very non horsey, sharing a moment with one of our Therapy Horses Ranger, who has his own story to tell.

I will have some (very small) availability coming up in the near future for fortnightly or monthly sessions at my own location if that’s what you wish. An intake assessment will be done to confirm Equine Therapy is right for you. It’s not for everyone and that is ok.
I just want people to be able to access these amazing creatures and be around them, so if you are looking for just talk therapy without the animals, I can refer you on to some amazing therapists in town.
Happy Friday!
🙂

Hello all!
I want you to all meet Ranger, he has came to live with stable steps and will be offered to our clients! He is so sweet and has really taken the role seriously! He is a very special horse, that has a very special story which my clients will hear all about when they meet him!!
He is a 5 year old Brumby, who is from the snowy mountain area and he was given to me to use in the program. That’s all I will say for now! 😍😍

Meet Snickers! He is a brumby who I was lucky enough to get 2 years ago. He will be a big part of Stable Steps and supporting clients like he already has been.

I am on leave from Stable Steps for the next two weeks while I am away for my other work and also picking up my other horse from her trainer. Very exciting for some upgrades and changes to come in the next few weeks! Watch this space.

Snickers met a lovely young man today, who he took too very easily and definitely enjoyed the attention and time with him.
When he tells his mum after “It was the best day” and “Mum, snickers really did love me”
Makes my heart so happy I am able to offer these experiences to people. 🥹😍

Hello all!
Has been a few weeks now since I have started client work. I have beenn loving it!
I just wanted to clear a few things up for anyone who may wish to use this service in the future.
I am a trained and accredited counsellor with Australian Counselling Association (Level 2) and I have been working in the counselling field locally for almost 10 years. With this I am able to take on NDIS clients (counselling line), and private clients for counselling. I have also done 12 months of training with Equine Supported Programs (ESP) to help myself become more knowledgeable in using horses in sessions.
In these sessions we use horses to help us heal, trust, and learn from them. A tool in a counsellors tool box I guess you could say. The horse becomes a third person in the session and teaches us things humans can not.
Currently my books are closed but a waiting list is available for those interested, please reach out.
Please see a photo of myself and my show horse Sonny. Who eventually will become part of the program. (He loves humans and treats)

I am very excited to be starting Equine Assisted Therapy this weekend!
For those who are new! My name is Kayelene Crossing.
I am a passionate horse loving girl who just wants to share my passion and my skills as a trained counsellor with you.
I am accredited with Australian Counselling Association as a Level 2. I am also did my Equine Assisted learning/therapy training with ESP.

As I am only doing this on a Saturday morning currently my books are filled already, but if you are interested please reach out and I can talk further.
Please also be mindful Equine Assisted Therapy is non ridden. If you are not interested in equine, we can do more nature based therapy as well.

Here is a snap shot of what I get up too between work, study and family life.
My two stock horses showing off their best sides at the Adelaide Royal last year. Showing these horses are on my to do list again this year!
Looking forward to getting out and about more and meeting more wonderful clients this year.

Please reach out for any additional information or questions.
