Led by Horses is offering Mindfulness with Horses every quarter, a group for adolescents and adults that combines guided meditation and experiential learning with horses to reduce stressful conditions like anxiety and depression, and provide tools for managing these issues.

A herd of horses in coherence (heart rates are in harmony) generates a large and very powerful field. When we are around such a herd, the influence of the large field on us is almost immediate. We get in harmony with ourselves and we are in coherence.

In Mindfulness with Horses, you can alleviate stress in a safe and supportive environment alongside our gentle and peaceful horses. You will learn tools and techniques to find balance, alleviate the anxious mind, and find harmony.
Practicing guided meditation and equine-assisted activities enhances your ability to create harmony within, also known as coherence. These activities further facilitate learning through your breath, to be in the present moment with the horse, and in turn, help mitigate the anxious mind. This rich 3-hour period will help you begin to understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence your experience at school, work, home, and community.

A herd of horses in coherence (heart rates are in harmony) generates a large and very powerful field. When we are around such a herd, the influence of the large field on us is almost immediate. We get in harmony with ourselves and we are in coherence.

In Mindfulness with Horses, you can alleviate stress in a safe and supportive environment alongside our gentle and peaceful horses. You will learn tools and techniques to find balance, alleviate the anxious mind, and find harmony.
Practicing guided meditation and equine-assisted activities enhances your ability to create harmony within, also known as coherence. These activities further facilitate learning through your breath, to be in the present moment with the horse, and in turn, help mitigate the anxious mind. This rich 3-hour period will help you begin to understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence your experience at school, work, home, and community.
One Session: $50
*No horse experience is needed and all activities are conducted on the ground – no riding.*

Horses possess an acute emotional awareness that allows them to attune to the feelings of humans, especially those grappling with profound grief or turmoil. Their capacity for authentic presence creates a sacred space where we can confront our most vulnerable emotions without judgment or artifice. Interactions with these majestic yet gentle beings facilitate a non-verbal process of rebuilding trust and processing complex emotions that may have become blocked or stagnant.
Equine-assisted session occur on the ground, side-by-side with the horse, and may involve grooming, leading, or simply being in their calming presence. Through these grounded exchanges, we rediscover the natural flow of our emotional landscape. Sessions typically begin and end with a group circle, but the majority of the time is spent with the horses in our indoor arena.
Laurie Higgins-Kerley and her team of Led by Horses Equine Coaches, and the “Healing Herd” offer their guidance and compassion in a safe space. Dove Creek is a peaceful place of solace for you to reflect, make deep connections, and become aware of the treasures within this experience.

Connection Through Horses
2025-03-29 13:00 - 16:00 | Dove Creek Ranch, 16201 Gordon Cummings Rd, Canyon, TX, 79015, United States
In the profound peaceful canyon at Dove Creek, horses offer us an extraordinary gift – the ability to rediscover our authentic selves through their masterful teaching of presence and connection. These magnificent beings, with their soft eyes and powerful presence, carry an ancient wisdom that speaks directly to the human heart. When we stand beside a horse, time seems to slow, our racing thoughts begin to quiet, and we’re drawn into their natural state of peaceful awareness.
Horses possess an almost mystical ability to read the truth in our hearts, seeing past the masks we wear and the stories we tell ourselves. Their astute sensitivity – born from millennia as prey animals – allows them to feel our smallest shifts in emotion, our hidden anxieties, and the blocks within our being. In their gentle but unwavering feedback, they show us exactly where we stand emotionally, creating a mirror that reflects our inner state with clarity and absolute compassion. There’s a profound healing in this honesty, as horses accept us exactly as we are while inviting us to become more authentic versions of ourselves.
The dance of a relationship with a horse draws us inevitably into the present moment. As we move together, whether in the simplicity of grooming or the harmony of leading one, our breathing naturally aligns with theirs, and our hearts open. Their large presence anchors us firmly in the now, allowing distractions to fall away, replaced by a deep sense of connection and safety not just with the horse, but with ourselves and our world.
As we learn to communicate with these noble creatures through the subtlest of signals and the quietest of conversations, we discover new depths of patience, empathy, and emotional awareness within ourselves. In their presence, we remember how to listen not just with our ears, but with our entire being – a skill that enriches every aspect of our lives and relationships.
This sacred partnership between humans and horses offers a path back to our hearts, a way to navigate the complexity of modern life while staying true to our deepest selves. In their generous spirits and wise teachings, horses guide us toward a more mindful, connected, and authentically lived life – one present moment at a time.
Come meet the “Master Energy Movers” at Dove Creek.
