Have you ever wondered how horses experience humans, and how humans can learn from horses — safely, ethically, and deeply?
Domestic horses carry a long history of interaction with humans — some experiences nurturing, others challenging. These experiences shape how horses approach humans today. Horses who have endured intrusive or aversive encounters may display behaviors similar to trauma responses in humans — even a mindset of “if I stay close, nothing bad will happen.” In these cases, the horse may lose the ability to exercise genuine choice.
At IFEEL Method, we work with this awareness at the heart of everything we do. Using a trauma-informed and skilled approach, we create experiences where both humans and horses can explore presence, connection, and true choice — safely and respectfully.
Our work isn’t about horses “helping” humans, and horses in our sessions are not mirrors or therapists. Instead, we provide a systemic, evidence-based methodology that allows practitioners to feel confident facilitating professional, safe, and ethical sessions, while always honoring the horse’s autonomy. Our horse-centered relational approach meets the highest ethical standards, without compromise.
To explore how this philosophy and methodology combine — enriching your skills and professional growth — we regularly run special Taster Days online.
And the next one is approaching soon:
📅 9th September
Our Taster Day is a blended learning experience: self-paced modules (~3.5 hours) and a live session (2–2.5 hours).
During this day, you will:
✨ Explore how your nervous system plays a role in human-horse interaction and facilitation
✨ Reflect on the dynamics of trauma, choice, and authentic engagement
✨ Learn the foundations of the IFEEL Method as a solid approach for human behavior change, supporting past trauma healing and future growth
✨ Participate in practical exercises to experience what it means to hold space as a facilitator
Whether you are new to mental health or working with horses, or already qualified, we have programs designed for all starting points. This is your chance to experience the method, reflect deeply, and imagine your growth as a practitioner — guided by integrity, ethics, and care for both humans and horses.
