At Grey Horse Growth and Learning we work with horses to help people solve problems or overcome emotional distress and dissatisfaction with life.
Incorporating horses into our therapy provides a variety of resources to help clients reflect on the aspects of their lives that they might wish to change. Horses have a way of highlighting patterns of behaviour that they reflect right back to the client. Working with horses gives participants the opportunity to tease out what is most meaningful for them: what they would like to change, and what strengths do they bring to the sessions to help them to make those changes.
How so? Just as art therapy involves creating art works and reading meaning into the experience, and dance therapy involves using the body to experience meaning, horse therapy involves undertaking a simple activity with a horse or horses and reflecting on the experience and the thoughts and feelings that arise from it.
Working and playing with horses provides a range of opportunities for psychotherapy and personal development. It can be challenging, fun and immensely satisfying. It can be profoundly rewarding.
Look under 'Learning' to find out what the horses can do for you. You'll be surprised at the things the horses can teach you about yourself!
