Horse Harmony - Hopethruhorses working with disadvantaged and disabled young people.
We spend time one to one with the horses and with whole herd. See photo gallery
Horses kept in their natural environment live in harmony and peace. We can absorb their gentle energy as we walk amongst them and learn their language. As we communicate and connect with them - bringing ourselves into the present moment with them - our minds quieten and the horses listen, respect and respond to us.
The way we think and feel is reflected, often almost imperceptibly, in our energy or intention and body language. Horses are acutely receptive to the subtlest of changes, they watch for them naturally in order to communicate with one another within the herd. As we work with them we are guided by their response, which serves as a mirror of our inner state, reflected back to us.
The key to Communication.
The key to communicating with horses is clarity. This clarity of communication requires a mind that is free of conflict, each thought concerned only with the present. When we become aware of our thoughts and the emotions we attach to them, we realise that almost all of them relate to memories of the past and images of the future - none of which exist in the reality of now. This is fundamentally different to a horse’s way of thought. To us time is a horizontal line taking us from the past to the future - to a horse that time line is vertical.
Freeing the mind of conflicting thoughts - frees us from unwanted emotions. The resulting space and peace created by this freedom allows healing to take place.
Learning to communicate with these beautiful creatures shows us a way to live as they do - at peace with ourselves and with those around us. See photo gallery
With deep relaxation techniques and mindfulness, you can work through problems in a pleasurable, unintimidating way. Free from the fear of judgement or criticism. Be at peace in the company of these beautiful creatures, surrounded by beautiful countryside, which is our natural environment as well as theirs.
A Perfect Environment.
The horses offer a perfect environment for adults, adolescents and children, encouraging self-acceptance, and a strong sense of pride in the tasks that are being completed. It nurtures feelings of real achievement, fulfilment and satisfaction - sometimes for the first time ever - releasing deeply rooted emotions. Anger, aggression, low self-esteem and anxiety particularly, can be replaced by feelings of self-assurance, self-worth and self-respect.
The healing power of horses has been well documented; these beautiful, peace-loving creatures, offer a unique solution to problems relating to stress, anxiety or depression. As the pressures of everyday life increase, there is an answer in Equine Involvement Therapy that takes us back to the quiet realities of communing with animals as nature intended.
The interaction between man and horse, is sometimes no more than being at peace with them; grooming, attending to their feet or connecting with them through simple exercises. The horses will show you how to, become or return to the person you want to be.
