Inner Trails
Equine assisted personal growth and learning
Inner Trails gives individuals, groups and families horse assisted activities designed to spark self discovery. The focus is never on riding or horsemanship.
There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.Winston Churchill
Equine assisted programs are experiential. Participants learn about themselves and others by taking part in activities with the horses, then reflecting on the feelings, behaviours and patterns that showed up while they did it.
Horses mirror human behaviour and give immediate, honest, non verbal feedback. They carry no agenda and they live in the moment, so people are often far more open to hearing it from a horse than from another person.
What a session looks like
We set up ground activities with the horses that ask something of you: clear non verbal communication, assertiveness, creative problem solving, leadership, responsibility and teamwork. Nothing is scored. What happens in the arena is the material, and the conversation afterwards is where it lands.
Who it suits
- Individuals who want insight that talking alone has not produced
- Families who want to see their own patterns from the outside
- Small groups looking for a day that stays with them
