Equus Coaching

Central to Equus Coaching is the profound connection that exists between horses and people. Both share a fundamental desire for safety and fulfillment, making horses a powerful reflection of human emotions and aspirations. By utilizing horses as a mirror, Equus Coaching helps individuals uncover and address internal patterns that may be blocking their progress in relationships, leadership, and personal development.

How Does It Work?

• No prior horse experience is required.
• Clients interact with horses in a controlled setting, where a coach guides them in interpreting the horses' feedback related to their own beliefs, behaviors, and patterns.
• All activities take place on the ground; horseback riding is not involved.
• Most sessions are conducted outdoors in environments such as paddocks, round pens, arenas, and barns.
• All sessions are facilitated by professional life coaches.
• Interactions with horses are tailored to meet each client's abilities, comfort levels, and individual needs.

Why Are Horses So Healing?

Horses are often seen as healing due to their sensitive nature and their ability to reflect human emotions. Their calming presence aids in emotional regulation, stress reduction, and enhanced communication skills. With an electromagnetic field five times larger than that of humans—extending up to 50 feet—they can influence heart rate, blood pressure, and overall mood. Research indicates that simply being around horses can alter human brainwave patterns, allowing them to support various mental health challenges, including trauma, anxiety, and PTSD/C-PTSD.
