"Ten minutes with this beautiful gentle soul and I found myself completely at peace; restored from life's batterings and judgements. I felt safe and accepted; enveloped by a profound understanding and calm. I'd come home." C.C.
"This was a phenomenal exerience for me. I have got trouble accepting myself yet with Bronwen all I felt was love and warmth. It was almost as if someone had put their arms around me and made me feel safe and protected. I didn’t expect to form such a connection with her but she just enveloped me in love in a completely non-judgemental manner. What I found amazing about Bronwen is how she kept on coming down to my level and because she was constantly by my side I felt accepted. It was as if she sensed what I needed and was happy to give it to me. It was a very emotional experience but also a form of release – an opportunity to let go." Alex
"Just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday! My session with Bronwen was quite incredible – she is a phenomenal horse who just gave me so much. Still feeling rather emotional about it now and I guess I have lots of “stuff” to think about and work through. I feel that this is only the beginning of my journey and I still have so much more to learn and discover but something inside has shifted and that can only be good! Thank you so much once again."
"The Charlbury-based Equine Therapy Involvement facility run by Jo Corfield, has produced some extraordinary results, as experienced by a man in his 40s who was suffering from stress and depression after being made redundant and losing his house and wife."
"Working through my problems with Jo and the horses did not take my problems away but it did make me see everything from a very different perspective, I now know this is a new beginning not the end and am looking forward to what the future has to offer. The horses helped me see that the way I think affects both my actions and experiences of life." C.L
A young woman in her 30s suffering from very low self-esteem learnt, that by mastering her thoughts and altering the energy they created, she could cause miraculous changes to the way the 15-hand gelding, Comet, responded to her, and in so doing realized she could apply the same technique at work with her abusive boss.
A disruptive adolescent changed her attitude dramatically when she saw her behaviour reflected back to her, by Jo’s chestnut pony, Gus. The pony helped her realize how destructive her behaviour had been.
"I felt really intimidated by the pony’s attitude towards me and could finally see that that was the affect I was having on other people. This experience has made me far more aware of who I am. I don’t want be this way anymore. The pony’s attitude towards me changed completely when I was thinking in a more respectful and considerate way and it made me feel good about myself."S.S.
A young man with a drink problem and severe depression found that by deeply connecting with the horses, he was able to re-connect with who he really was and find a permanent release from his despair.
"I found that by focusing my thoughts, watching and learning from the horses’ attitude to living in the moment, as well as broadening my own very limited outlook on life, I could begin to see that I had narrowed my vision of life and the way I perceived everything down to the size of a pin head. I could not see the wood for the trees, but now I can see a way out, as everything is so much clearer. Giving up the drink is hard but it is possible." A.F.
