Calm On The Farm

Horses like to maintain a state of calm. As flight animals their number one job every day is to keep safe- to stay alive. They are highly attuned to stress and it’s noticeable as they come together how they communicate that they are calm with each other through their outbreaths.

Space to be Your True Self.

Horses take you for who you are. They don’t care how much money you have, what your school results are or what your job is. They only care about you and how you show up to them. Creating a successful relationship with a horse is about being self-aware and mindful of your body language and feelings. Working with horses is experiential. It creates an environment to reflect on who you really are. The horse has no expectations of people. They are accepting and non- judgmental.

Horses Help us with How we Think, Feel and Behave.

Our thinking tends to dictate how we feel and in turn, how we feel tends to drive our behaviour. We’re all subject to negative thinking from time to time. Some people can really torment themselves in the world of what Beck called faulty thinking. We know that horses can be traumatised and can be fearful of people and situations. However, horses don’t seem to experience self-critical thinking and, as a rule, because they live in the moment, they don’t have negative assumptions about what is happening for them.

The path between what we think and what we do can be very fraught. Aaron Beck- widely accredited as the father of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy said “If our thinking is bogged down by distorted symbolic meanings, illogical reasoning and erroneous interpretations, we become, in truth, blind and deaf...
