Intuitive horse provides a tranquil environment in which individuals and groups can focus on developing self awareness and greater confidence to deal with the personal challenges and demands of their everyday lives.
We work with many different people including many professionals, people with specific issues they wish to address, horse riders and trainers wishing to further their knowledge and horse handling skills, people already on a path of self discovery, special needs children and people of all ages who are looking for some direction or who simply want something a bit different in their lives. Many of our clients come back again and again to work with the horses and further develop their self awareness and intuition.
Whilst horses are at the core of our approach, most of the work we do is on the ground with the horse, so absolutely no previous experience of horses is necessary to benefit from what we offer. We have worked with people who have a fear of horses or have never been near a horse in their lives as well as experienced horse professionals.
Intuitive Horse was developed as a result of years of experience working with horses and teaching people how to ride. It was observed that a horses’ behaviour would change from person to person and that the horse tended to respond directly to a persons’ emotional state, regardless of riding ability. For example, when a horse is ‘acting up’ and appears to be naughty it is more than likely responding to the feelings of its rider (or else expressing discomfort) and much like an infant who can’t speak it makes it’s behaviour louder to get our attention.
Having witnessed the positive impact horses can have on someone’s life, we sought to provide a stimulating learning experience and now offer a range of Intuitive Horse programmes including private one on one sessions workshops and 3 day retreats.
We also offer rehabilitation for physical and behavioural problems for horses and their owners, including home visits and consultations. We have a limited number of horse shares available with the Intuitive horse horses that live with us.
We have teamed up with professionals in other fields to offer a number of different events at Intuitive Horse throughout the year that complement the Intuitive horse philosophy.
Most of the horses that live at Intuitive Horse initially came for some form of rehabilitation. This was often after all other avenues of care and treatment had been exhausted. However they got here they are all doing well and now have a permanent residency at intuitive horse where they work with people on many different levels. None of our horses are over worked and all have a special programme which ensures their needs are met at all times.
Whilst we have tried our best to put into words how we work with our horses and help people here at Intuitive Horse, we appreciate most of you won’t have heard about working with horses in this way. Everyone who has come and experienced this work agrees it is very hard to put into words as it is such a deep and personal experience. Please feel free to ring us once you have browsed through the site if you have any further questions about our services. We would love to hear from you >
