The profound impact of horses in healing is undeniable. With a history spanning 50 million years, they carry within them a wealth of evolutionary wisdom and resilience. While their physical attributes may have evolved over time, their intrinsic wisdom and nurturing presence are key to their influence on humans in today’s world.

As herd animals, horses instinctually seek connection and thrive within the social structure of the herd. Observing horses’ interactions offers valuable insights into our own social dynamics. It is interesting to watch the herd interact and clearly communicate through non verbal cues. 

Horses possess a rare ability to understand and reflect human emotions. This unique trait makes them invaluable partners in healing, offering solace and companionship that soothe our spirit – especially for those of us experiencing grief and loss. 

In our sessions at Dove Creek, horses provide a safe and non-judgmental space for us to confront past trauma and forge meaningful connections in the present. It happens every session – through interactions with horses, we are able to delve into our deeper emotional patterns, shedding burdens that no longer serve us. This can be old grief, new grief, betrayal, anxiety, depression, etc. When we partner with the horse, this process fosters clarity and confidence, guiding us towards a path of healing and personal growth. Clients come away embodying feelings of peace and calm. These interactions are not only engaging but truly transformative, creating enduring impact.
