Welcome to Equine Insight
Horses can improve personal skills and growth development, and uncover deeply felt issues when people work with them. Why? Because based on what people project onto a horse, we can actually help the participant figure out for themselves what is going on.
It's about developing an understanding of ourselves as humans by engaging with horses. Doing different activities with horses, we then reflect on what comes up for us through that process… and in doing so, we discover ourselves. With these naturally found and powerful new insights we can build our self-awareness, improve skills and sensitivity to help unlock the treasures that we have within us.

How does it work?
Horses are highly sensitive to their environment - their survival depends on it - and this means they have a developed awareness of the people that interact with them. The work has nothing to do with horse riding, it's all about interaction. The horses seem to enjoy engaging with people in a very different way to being ridden, trained or exercised. Working with horses brings out the honesty in us.
Horses can aid us in overcoming internal conflicts, abuse, addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, and depression through what is known as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP).
The approach is also a great way to develop team building and communication skills in individuals, families, partners, leadership teams and other groups. This is known as Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).

If most of our communication is non-verbal, how can we improve it?
Up to 80% of our communication is non-verbal and the therapy is about paying attention to that. Learning from a horse is about HOW we communicate, so that we can learn about ourselves through that process.
People learn how to relate their experience with the horse to what's going on in their lives. In the process of building a rapport with the horse, many people find that it unlocks old patterns and ways of thinking that may have previously held them back.
The technique can help you with non-verbal communication, assertiveness, creative thinking, problem solving, leadership, taking responsibility, team work, relationship building, confidence building, and improving attitude.
It's about having fun with the horse, which is an important part of learning and therapy. Learning about yourself, about others, about respect and about having confidence and trust. It can also be an exciting and liberating experience.
