Horses react to a persons energy, intention and subtle body language ques and provide me (the facilitator) with an opportunity to use the horse as a barometer. Horses are intuitive animals, and can mirror the student's thoughts and feelings, They provide a window into the student's nature. This enables the student to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Horses are sensitive, non-judgemental and forgiving and therefore can guide learners to rethink the way they interact with others through identifying specific horse behaviours with the help of the facilitator. 

Also, spending time on the farm, with the animals and out in nature is extremely healing and relaxing. Caring for the animals gives participants a sense of responsibility, builds self-confidence, communication skills and decision-making skills.
