    “Brilliantly designed for instantaneous escape, the horse is a hyper-vigilant walking time bomb wrapped in a defensive shield of sophisticated sensory radar, forever ready to explode into a run with the fastest reaction time of any animal on the planet. The simple fact of knowing this – seeing horses from this perspective and, most important, seeing life from the horse’s point of view – is transformative. It allows for a level of relationship between human and horse, prey and predator, that would otherwise be impossible. Finally it allows for compassion, the single most important ingredient in any mutually beneficial relationship”

    Power of the horse to heal

    [/mk_fancy_title][mk_padding_divider]

    Horses provide a “circuit-breaking” opportunity for people suffering PTSD, depression, isolation or lack of self-esteem as a result of their service.

    These breakthroughs enable change in people’s lives which creates positive pathways that have long lasting effects. Breakthroughs can come in many ways, such as:

    • Increased social connection
    • Reduced signs of PTSD
    • Increased motivation and self-worth
    • Feeling connected and valued
    • Sense of optimism about the future
    • Renewed pride in service history
    • Increased confidence

    To truly master the relationship with a horse we must first control our own emotions and be completely “present” in order to build trust and respect. Once that is achieved, the outcomes as a team are endless.

    Horses are a herd animal and constantly seek to find their place in the pecking order. By the rider assuming the lead role with confidence and clarity, it gives the horse confidence in their safety and facilitates a connection of trust where both horse and rider feel rewarded.
