At Intuitive Horse we are passionate about working WITH horses to assist us with personal growth

Intuitive Horse is Equine Assisted Personal Development through experiential learning. The EAPD work helps people gain insight into areas of life they may feel challenged in.

Horses are experts at helping in areas of:

• Relationship and connection both with ourselves and others

• Developing self-awareness in areas of emotional intelligence and thought patterns

• Mastering how to live in a present moment state, what that actually means and why it is beneficial for us

• Understanding how our environment responds to our emotions and mind state and how we respond to our environment

• Understanding how our past conditioning can hold us back in the present moment

Our approach is a therapeutic coaching style specific to Intuitive Horse that facilitates a safe space for people to explore and find their own answers to their challenges. However sometimes new perspectives are needed to help find answers and the facilitator and horses can help with this. The work with the horses is a visceral experience that helps facilitate change for people. With the work being tangible it means people can take away what they have learnt and practiced in their sessions and apply them into their life where appropriate and we talk through how to do that at the end of the session.

We do this through a range of different offerings- 1-1 sessions and retreats.

1-1 sessions

Our 1-1 sessions offer the individual the chance to focus on a particular personal challenge they would like to explore in privacy. You will be guided by your facilitator throughout the session as well as by the horses.

Out in nature surrounded by beautiful countryside and our herd, you will have the opportunity to explore the topic of your choice.

Whilst we recommend a series of sessions to gain fully from what the work with horses has to offer, people can come for a one off session if they like, or for one session to see how they get on initially. It may depend what your reasons are for attending as to how frequently you attend. Some people attend regular sessions whilst others come as and when they feel ready for the next session.

The EAPD work often compliments other therapeutic work well, if people are in talking therapy for example. EAPD is not a substitute for therapy for people with serious mental health conditions, however It can compliment other therapies.

The horses can offer insight and learning for people when it comes to understanding their thoughts and emotional processes, as well as how to become masters of their destiny with learning that is palpable and assists in change.

1-1 sessions run all year round and are for an hour and a half

Initial sessions £130

Half Day Retreat

3hr Following the Herds’ Lead

A 3hr meditation/mindfulness wellbeing half day retreat exploring different ways of being with self through the influence of nature and the herd.

This work offers an opportunity to step away from the busy human world and immerse yourself with the herd and nature at their pace of life. No matter what the weather is doing come and discover what it truly means to be present with self and the environment whilst learning how to bring this into everyday life.

The work offers the potential for:

• Learning how to relax and quieten the mind

• Learning how to observe your mind and how this can be helpful when it comes to managing the mind, emotions and behaviour states

• Learning about horses and nature

• Learning mindful tools to take away and practice by yourself as a way of integrating them into a daily way of life

These half days run most months and are suited to anyone interested in their own personal development. No previous horse experience is necessary but if you are nervous of horses a 1-1 is recommended first.

Cost £95

1 day Following the Herds’ Lead retreat

This 1 day retreat is an extended version of the 3hr FHL mini workshop. It is for people interested in learning how to quiet the mind and align to the herds’ and nature’s natural rhythm.

Throughout the day we spend time alongside the herd going deeper into our minds, through some mindfulness techniques, to quieten them and bring ourselves into a state of present moment. As we follow the herd and slot into their pace of life, we too will shed layers of stress we are holding onto so that we can meet the herd in their world. The journey we go on to get there offers opportunity for:

• Personal reflection on mindset, emotional states and life in general

• Quieting the mind

• Slowing down

• Learning about the horses and herd life

• Learning mindful tools to take away and practice by yourself as a way of integrating them into a daily way of life

We will visit the herd at different times throughout the day.
