Do you know how horses help tweens, teens and adults in individual, group and team coaching, mental wellness, resilience, and psychotherapy settings, utilising the internationally recognised Eagala model? We are excited to announce an upcoming information webinar for anyone interested in finding out more about how horses can be incorporated into personal and team development for themselves, their families, their school, their leadership and work/NGO/ministry teams, or to complement their client coaching or therapeutic practices, corporate packages or retreats.
What makes these programs so revolutionary and exciting?
- We follow a team approach, with all programs being facilitated by a mental health professional, equine specialist, and a small herd of horses. We can add additional specialists to this team such as coaches, counsellors and other professionals. (That could be you.)
- Horses have unique abilities that help people, especially with mental health and growth.
- We include outdoor activities in the arena with the horses that builds leadership skill, teamwork, and real-time learning.
- No horse riding is involved. All work is done from the ground. This makes it safe and accessible to everyone as no prior horse experience or skill is required.
- We include art into one of our programs, called H+ART. This is a great alternative way to debrief and process all that took place with the horses in the arena, it activates creativity and even unlocks parts of the brain not involved in ordinary verbal processing – click here to watch a short video to get a taste of what this is all about.
- Our facilitators are professionally trained by the leading international organisation for equine assisted growth and learning, Eagala.org. We follow a strict code of professional and ethical conduct with an aim of delivering consistent excellence in our programs and value to participants. Find out more about Eagala here.
- These programs are a great way for people to digitally detox and debrief from stress and trauma and a great tool for restoration, team and leadership coaching.
Who can benefit from these programs?
Anyone from the age of 9 years old can heal, learn and grow through participating in our Horses helping People programs, including,
