At Intuitive Horse we are passionate about working WITH horses to assist us with personal growth

Intuitive Horse is Equine Assisted Personal Development through experiential learning. The EAPD work helps people gain insight into areas of life they may feel challenged in.

Horses are experts at helping in areas of:

• Relationship and connection both with ourselves and others

• Developing self-awareness in areas of emotional intelligence and thought patterns

• Mastering how to live in a present moment state, what that actually means and why it is beneficial for us

• Understanding how our environment responds to our emotions and mind state and how we respond to our environment

• Understanding how our past conditioning can hold us back in the present moment

Our approach is a therapeutic coaching style specific to Intuitive Horse that facilitates a safe space for people to explore and find their own answers to their challenges. However sometimes new perspectives are needed to help find answers and the facilitator and horses can help with this. The work with the horses is a visceral experience that helps facilitate change for people. With the work being tangible it means people can take away what they have learnt and practiced in their sessions and apply them into their life where appropriate and we talk through how to do that at the end of the session.

We do this through a range of different offerings- 1-1 sessions, workshops and retreats.

1-1 sessions

Our 1-1 sessions offer the individual the chance to focus on a particular personal challenge they would like to explore in privacy. You will be guided by your facilitator throughout the session as well as by the horses.

Out in nature surrounded by beautiful countryside and our herd, you will have the opportunity to explore the topic of your choice.

Whilst we recommend a series of sessions to gain fully from what the work with horses has to offer, people can come for a one off session if they like, or for one session to see how they get on initially. It may depend what your reasons are for attending as to how frequently you attend. Some people attend regular sessions whilst others come as and when they feel ready for the next session.

The EAPD work often compliments other therapeutic work well, if people are in talking therapy for example. EAPD is not a substitute for therapy for people with serious mental health conditions, however It can compliment other therapies.

The horses can offer insight and learning for people when it comes to understanding their thoughts and emotional processes, as well as how to become masters of their destiny with learning that is palpable and assists in change.

1-1 sessions run all year round and are for an hour and a half

Initial sessions £120

All sessions following the initial session £95

Workshops

3hr mini workshop- Following the Herds’ Lead

A 3hr meditation/mindfulness wellbeing workshop exploring different ways of being with self through the influence of nature and the herd.

This workshop offers an opportunity to step away from the busy human world and immerse yourself with the herd and nature at their pace of life. No matter what the weather is doing come and discover what it truly means to be present with self and the environment whilst learning how to bring this into everyday life.

The workshop offers the potential for:

• Learning how to relax and quieten the mind

• Learning how to observe your mind and how this can be helpful when it comes to managing the mind, emotions and behaviour states

• Learning about horses and nature

• Learning mindful tools to take away and practice by yourself as a way of integrating them into a daily way of life

These workshops run most months and are suited to anyone interested in their own personal development. No previous horse experience is necessary but if you are nervous of horses a 1-1 is recommended first.

Retreats

We offer a variety of different length retreats:

• 1 day Following the Herds’ Lead retreats

• 1 day sound and vibration personal development EAPD retreats

• 1 day yoga and EAPD retreats

• 3 day Personal Development with Horses retreats

• Bespoke 1-1 retreats

1 day sound and vibration personal development EAPD retreat

This 1 day retreat is led by Emma- Intuitive Horse facilitator and coach and Sian Meditation and Kundalini Yoga teacher specialising in sound and mantra. 

Our personal vibration is important, it sets the tone for what we attract into our lives and the relationships and connections we make. Our unique vibration also influences our connection to our voice and brings our awareness to how we use our voice, where we perhaps hold back and why.

Our vibrations are made up from our thinking and emotional states therefore being mindful of the thoughts and feelings we have day to day is important for our health and overall wellbeing. 

Slowing down gives us the opportunity to become aware of some of the internal thoughts and beliefs that are affecting us, it allows us  to connect in with ourselves rather than being distracted from ourselves, it offers us the opportunity to move more towards occupying a heart centred state of being. 

Spending time with horses, meditation and working with sound all allow us to move into this more desired state of flow and being. We will explore different styles of meditation influenced by the practice of Kundalini Yoga including both silent and mantra meditations as well as gentle movement meditations like walking and the use of repetitive movements. We will spend time with the herd working consciously with the intent and vibration we individually desire whilst learning from their way of being.

This 1 day retreat combines these 3 elements to offer you a truly magical day of deep connection. We will weave between spending time with the herd, working with sound and vibration and meditation to explore this.

Cost £150

1 day yoga and EAPD retreats

1 day Following the Herds’ Lead retreat

This 1 day retreat is an extended version of the 3hr FHL mini workshop. It is for people interested in learning how to quiet the mind and align to the herds’ and nature’s natural rhythm.

Throughout the day we spend time alongside the herd going deeper into our minds, through some mindfulness techniques, to quieten them and bring ourselves into a state of present moment. As we follow the herd and slot into their pace of life, we too will shed layers of stress we are holding onto so that we can meet the herd in their world. The journey we go on to get there offers opportunity for:

• Personal reflection on mindset, emotional states and life in general

• Quieting the mind

• Slowing down

• Learning about the horses and herd life

• Learning mindful tools to take away and practice by yourself as a way of integrating them into a daily way of life

We will visit the herd at different times throughout the day.

3 day Personal Development Retreats

Over three days you work intensively through the IH techniques which include group discussions and exercises away from the horses as well as working 1-1 with the horses and spending time with the herd. This is a truly empowering experience which takes you on a journey of profound self-discovery.

The three days offer the opportunity for:

• Becoming aware of certain patterns which may be preventing you moving forward in life

• A broader level of self-awareness

• Working on a somatic level to further your self-development

• Learning how to work with and quieten the mind

• Learning about horses, their communication and behaviour

• Trusting and working with your intuition

• Getting a true grasp of how your environment responds to your emotional state

• Coming away from the three days with tools and insights to use and further assist you in every day life

These retreats are very small in number to ensure proper attention to each person at all times.

Cost £390

Advanced 3 day Personal Development Retreats

On this retreat we build on the tools and exercises shared in the first retreat and go deeper into exploring personal development whilst immersing ourselves with even more herd time and powerful exercises that can be applied into daily life. We look at horse behaviour and communication in more depth and learn how some of the communication horses use is actually universal across all species; and when we tap into that not only does our communication with horses and animals expand, but also with ourselves and fellow human beings.

The 3 days offer an opportunity for:

• Learning about horse communication and behaviour whilst observing the Intuitive Horse herd

• Going deep into how you connect with yourself and in turn others

• Noticing how you respond to others on subtle levels

• Exploring personal boundaries

• Further developing your somatic awareness and ability to process on an embodied level

• Taking away tools and insights to use and further assist you in every day life

The advanced retreat remain small in numbers, like the first one, to ensure proper attention to each person at all times.

You must have attended the first 3 day personal development retreat to attend this one.
