Octavia stayed here with the retreat guest for over 40mins. Clearing on so many levels.

The client had to go and write down all that she felt …and heard from Octavia, once it had finished.

She felt like she was coached through her healing by this wise shamanic mare 💫🌿💫

Can’t make this up, I am in awe of client’s experiences.

The weather was sublime, the horses were taking turns between holding space & laying down. The PEACE was DIVINE 💫

A very special morning for a very special client that has been with us since the very beginning 7 years ago.

No words from me - this is what one of our wonderful clients said ⭐️

Nervous system regulation, spending time in nature and with horses. De-stressing and connecting back with my true self was my aim and this retreat achieved this and so much more.

I love horses and I wanted a location that was local, all-inclusive program and focussed on de-stressing. Everything about this program was exceptional. I attended from a very wounded emotional place and left feeling more myself than I have in years!

It’s one of those experiences that you just have to try because words can’t explain or describe it. I have felt so inspired, and connected to my true self ever since, and also have excellent resources that I’ve used to develop a new self-care routine that helps my nervous system rest, heal and calm down.

There was a perfect balance of participation and rest time, the small group was perfect,and Rachael is an extraordinary healer and host. The connection I established with the horses was nothing I’ve ever experienced before - they are deeply spiritual, healing, beautiful Beings and I’m so blessed to have been guided to Healing with the Horses.

I’ve made this modality an integral part of my self-care regime.
What can be improved?
Nothing could have been improved.
I wished I could have stayed longer!

I’ll be back again soon though.

With Melbourne Cup season approaching, I’ve been thinking about how many different ways there are to experience this iconic time of year and perhaps, for some, there is a gentler way to connect with horses.

At Heart of the Horse, just 90 minutes from Melbourne in the rolling hills of Central Victoria, I welcome people from all over Australia who are looking for something a little different. They aren’t coming to ride horses or watch them race. They are coming to slow down, step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with themselves, nature and the quiet wisdom of horses.

I’m seeing a growing desire for more innovative and meaningful ways to support our wellbeing. Experiences that take us outdoors, away from screens and routines, and back into our bodies and the natural world. Horses can offer a beautiful doorway into this. Through gentle, non-riding experiences with the herd, mindfulness, meditation, movement and nature-based practices, guests have the opportunity to pause, listen inwardly and explore what is really going on beneath the surface.

For some, a Heart of the Horse retreat is simply a much-needed reset. For others, it becomes part of a deeper healing or self-discovery journey. Either way, there is something powerful about spending a few days surrounded by nature, with horses quietly sharing the experience.

This Melbourne Cup season, perhaps the greatest gift the horses offer us is not something they do for us, but something they help us remember within ourselves.

It’s horse enthusiasm with a difference and a uniquely Central Victorian experience, only a stones throw from Flemington.
