Seen and Herd Equine Assisted Therapy

31/08/2026

If you are on the fence (pun intended) about trying therapy in a paddock instead of an office, get in touch for a free discovery call to see what it is all about. It's not just hanging with the herd, and it's not just for kids (most of my clients are adult women). You will receive a non-judgemental ear and a chance to learn why you act the way you do, and learn how to practice another way of being, if it is no longer serving you. Safely, without needing to go into your story. NDIS may be applicable depending upon participant's therapeutic goals and plan.

If you are looking for connection, not talk therapy, if you are looking to be heard without needing to tell all, if you are looking for non-judgemental support from a qualified counsellor, who understands trauma, then contact us. Limited places available for equine assisted therapy.
Experienced in DFSV, veterans and neurodivergence. NDIS funding may be applicable, depending upon participant's plan and therapeutic goals.

So well said

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Spend an hour watching a herd and something uncomfortable becomes obvious.

They are not slow.
We are frantic.

We have normalised a pace of life that is biologically unsustainable.
Instant replies. Same-day delivery. Tescos 𝘞𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩. The obsession with immediacey.

The constant low-level vibration of what’s next?

Our nervous systems are stuck in a permanent high-frequency buzz.

Then you walk into the stable.

A horse does not live in “Clock Time” (Chronos).
They live in “Deep Time” (Kairos).

They do not know it is Tuesday.
They do not know you are late.
They only know Now.

When you enter their space, you hit a wall of stillness.

And if we are honest, at first it’s annoying.
You want to rush the process. Hurry up and catch. Hurry up and groom. Hurry up and get the job done.

You arrive carrying the momentum of your entire workday.

But the horse refuses to hurry.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 🌧

This is where the science of entrainment kicks in.

Physics tells us that when two oscillating systems meet, they eventually sync.
The stronger rhythm pulls the weaker one into line.

A horse’s heart rate is slower.
Their breathing is deeper.
Their electromagnetic field is larger.

They are the stronger rhythm.

They drag you out of the speed of wifi and drop you back into the speed of blood.
The speed of breath.
The speed of the earth turning 🌎

You think you are waiting for them to react.
But really, they are waiting for you to arrive.

Because until you slow down, you are not truly there.
You are just a body vibrating with tomorrow’s to-do list.

By the time you leave the yard, you haven’t completed a task.
You have stepped out of the rat race and remembered you are a mammal. 🐴

Slow down.
The email will still be there tomorrow.
This breath won’t. 🫁

Super excited to open my latest toy for my boys (yes I bought two to be fair!). Thanks you Paxx Equestrian for such a beautifully packaged product and hand written note! I love supporting small businesses like mine and appreciate handwritten notes so much! Can’t wait to put it up for my mouthy playful warmblood to enjoy … and hopefully Mo and Red will like theirs too ! photos to follow!
