Working with horses can be a huge benefit to those embarking on their mental health or personal growth journeys, as observing and working with horses can help people build confidence, communication and social skills, trust, impulse control and boundary awareness.

People overcome various hardships, obstacles and traumas in their lives. Horses can provide a safe and dynamic environment for healing and help us thrive towards positive and productive futures.

You may wonder, why horses for mental health and not other animals?

Horses have been found to act similarly to humans in their social and responsive behavior. It’s easy for people to connect with the horse as they reflect many aspects of ourselves.

Just being near horses or stroking them can reduce stress and anxiety levels and increase a sense of wellbeing. It doesn’t involve humans trying to imitate the way horses interact with one another. It’s a symbiotic and dynamic process that recognizes horses as sensitive, decision-making beings.

Our ability to listen to each other allows us to best show up for others and provide a space for them to be heard.
Horses aren’t simply tools in this work, they are beings with feelings, opinions, and needs. They are the greatest teachers of authentic connection.
Bandit, you are one special horse and I am so grateful for you 🤎

The beautiful thing about horses is that people feel seen in their presence 🐴✨

Horses do not have the biases we have as humans. Because of this, horses provide a nonjudgmental relationship where it feels safe to bring our authentic selves to the experience, including feelings of deficiencies, hurt, pain, insecurities, and fears. For some clients in mental health services, this can be the first time experiencing a relationship like this. To be truly seen and heard is a foundation for feeling safe and healing.

One of the greatest tools we have is the power of our own breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Feel the sun. Smell the earth. Listen to the birds. Slow down. 🐴🌿🪶
