We speak to you, not at you
Our effective three-day experience offers peer-to-peer interaction, private accommodations and classroom training to learn the language of the horse, and a round-pen interaction with the horse as the final culminating event. Through the lens of the horse, participants learn to communicate with another powerful but very different species, most often resulting in a heightened awareness, changed perspective and renewed outlook.
“Horses require you to be in the moment to fully communicate.
The release felt when the horse accepts your offer to bond—breathing, touching and following—it’s so empowering. There is no judgement, only acceptance.”

Bob and his team have successfully utilized the power of an equine experience to help re-tune the regulation of the autonomic nervous system in veterans and first responders who have experienced trauma.

When we experience trauma, the autonomic nervous system responds in a way that can be described as a “short circuit” often causing us to shut down and become detached and closed off.
