Therapeutic Private Sessions
The Encounter
The first private horse session is called the Encounter.
A horse is waiting for the client in the area that the client will meet the horse called the meeting place.
The meeting place is a square fenced in area, approximately 62 feet by 36 feet.
It is located at the bottom of a large hill side adjacent to a creek.
The client is asked to tune-in to the horse.
This means to observe the horse from outside of the meeting place.
I ask the client 'What do you notice about this horse and what can you tell me about him/her?'
There is no right or wrong answer in this exercise.
The object is for the client to build rapport with the horse she/he will be working with.
The client is then asked to enter the meeting place for the encounter with the horse to progress.
The client holds the intention of 'I'm open to the possibility of a connection'.
Inside the meeting place the horse is at liberty.
This means that the horse is not tied and free to make
decisions about what space the horse will stand in or move to.
What the connection looks like may be different with each client.
The client will feel the connection with the horse when it happens.
I am present to be a guide, witness and to hold space for healing to occur.

Above are two horses I use for first time clients.
Both horses are geldings.
In the session they do their best to connect with the client if they feel it's safe for them to do so.
Horses are prey animals by nature (eyes to the side of the head) they are constantly assessing the situation in regards to their safety.
The statement the horses say is 'Are you going to eat me?'
This is not as crazy as it sounds.
Humans are predators by nature (eyes on the front of the head).
Humans have historically killed and eaten horses and continue to do so.
Horses are eaten in some European countries and in South East Asia.
|
In regards to the clients safety my horses are mentally and emotionally balanced.
They enjoy their work and have been serving clients at the ranch for many years.
They are not aggressive. They are extremely communicative and enjoy the connection with the client
when it happens.
|
To get the full experience of connecting with a horse with authenticity and integrity I suggest the
client commit to four sessions or more.
After the initial encounter session, the client will work on influencing the horses movement energetically.
The client will be able to influence the horse in a way that the horse will follow the client wherever they move
to. This is done with the horse at liberty.
By the end of four sessions the client will have done exercises with the horse on the ground, and exercises on the horses back focusing on connection and rapport with the horse.

Here are the benefits a client can get from having private sessions with a horse.
Finding out who you are.
Horses are mirrors for us. They can show us who we are if we're ready to look.
Opening up to our true feelings.
Horses know when we are in-congruent with our emotions.
It's their job to be able to do this as it pertains to their safety and well being.
Getting into our bodies.
Horses ask that we be in our bodies when we relate to them.
Sometimes it's for humans to recognize when they are
not in their bodies. The client may be thinking about something
that is in the past or future. Horses help us to focus on being in the
present.
Awareness
Horses are extremely aware creatures. They have to be or they could be
attacked and eaten by a predator. They are using everything they possess
to be tuned into the current situation. This influences us as when we tune- in
to horses we develop our own awareness skills.
Inter-species relating
By relating to another species we can broaden our empathy for others.
We can move out of our world of only relating to other humans and experience
what it is like to connect authentically to a large sentient being such as the horse.
