As Teddy Roosevelt said, “The inside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.” Wisdom Horse welcomes a diverse range of clients, including:
Our seasoned facilitators, engaged horses, diverse equine-assisted activities, and full retreat facilities meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities.
The Wisdom Horse Co-Facilitators start by meeting with the individual, team leader or retreat group to assess what strengths and struggles a person, a group or awork team are experiencing.
The Co-Facilitators develop a specialized and focused sequence of equine experiences for the participants that achieve lasting.
All activities with the horses are unmounted and no previous horse experience or equipment are required.
Each session takes place in an enclosed arena with careful supervision by credentialled Facilitators and trained Equine Specialists.
One or more horses of varying sizes will be selected.
We limit the group size to a maximum of 12 people. Safety is a top priority with solid instruction about how to interact with a horse.
The sessions are typically 1.5 hours in length with the horses, followed by a half hour Debrief of the experience.
Groups or individuals may choose to do only one session as part of their stay at the farm.
Two or more sessions may also be arranged and blended with other programming depending on the needs of the individual or group.
The Debrief discussion following the equine experience is when “Ah Ha” Moments happen. Discovery emerges and learning ‘sticks’ long into the future. Participants are asked by the Facilitators to reflect on what the horses did and why they think they did it. They are then encouraged to consider where similar things show up either at their desk, the dining room table, at school or in their team. This introspection helps participants build on their strengths while uncovering limiting behaviors.
This newfound awareness comes together through Action Steps that can be taken back to real life at home or at work
