As early as 460 BCE equine (horse) therapy has been used as a way of helping people of all ages to gain confidence and clarity on issues that they face including mental, emotional and physical health problems. At the Happiness Farm we use our incredibly relaxed, intuitive and affectionate Gypsy Vanners to help with our happiness programs.
These horses have been bred and raised to be the most relaxed and easy to handle horses for people of all ages including young children. We will be doing coaching session while riding, caring for and interacting with horses as an alternative to traditional talking and strategizing.
Some individuals have been resistant or troubled while trying to talk about deep seeded trauma and emotional issues but during these groups or individual sessions we have immense success with connecting and releasing the inner struggle that prevents many of us from opening up and harnessing our inner power to change and grow personally, as families, and with friendships.
