'Outside In'
Horses have been successfully used in psychotherapy and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) for years, which uses the horse as a medium to help heighten social and emotional learning and increase mindfulness in our young children.
Our ‘Outside-In’ clinics provide a relaxed and caring environment where everyone is supported. The group will experience a range of individual and team building equine activities, encouraging all to join in. Basic horsemanship and riding skills being a highlight in most sessions.
To find out more call Andrea Hegmann on 0408 522 205.
Cost: $120 per person, per session.
6 week course
Our clinics focus on developing understanding in the below areas:
Week 1
Regulation (the calm state) - learning to regulate emotions
Week 2
Mindfulness (awareness) - being aware, and being in the moment
Week 3
Setting boundaries - it is important to set boundaries between a horse and rider, the same as setting personal boundaries in life.
Week 4
Relationship building - this focuses around commitment, compromise, forgiveness and most of all, effort.
Week 5
Emotional intelligence - being aware of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours towards ourselves and others.
Week 6
Leadership - taking charge of situations, building confidence and giving clear directions. This translates to both working with horses, and in our own lives.
