My daily life is varied with business and the practice of law.This results in a typically high daily stress level. For as long as I can remember, I have been involved with horses in my lifein some way. Right now, I am lucky enough to have some horses outside on my property. When I have had a particularlydifficult day, I can go outside and just touch a horse and feel better. Horses make you forget your worries. There's something about them. They are relaxing. It is an escape from reality to spend time with them.
Horses are like a mirror. When you are around them, you have to relax. Otherwise, you have a mess on your hands. Almost everyone I know has heard that a horse can tell when you're nervous around them. Well, horses really can tell when you are angry, tense, fearful, and more. If you spend time with them, you become more aware of how you are feeling, because you have to adjust your mood to get a desired result from the horse. So, you begin your journey with a horse. It is like a dance. If you relax, the horse relaxes. If you tense up, the horse becomes more tense. If, like most people, you are not an expert on horse behavior, you would need a coach in order to interpret horse language and use the communication with the horse to your advantage. That's where we come in. We offer de-stressing with horses. We also offer equine facilitated coaching and therapy.
I have always wanted to share the peace and comfort that being on the ground with horses brings to me with others. I have always known that I would one day find a way to bring this experience with horses to others in a broad manner. Through business, I was fortunate enough to meet Sandra Woods, who is a fabulous person. Sandyshares an interest in helping people to incorporate communication with horsesinto increasing success inbusiness relationships and individual relationships and self-improvement.
Horses have helped humans for centuries in various ways. It is a proven medical fact that just by their sheer presence with humans, horses can reduce a humans blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and promote social interaction and relaxation. When used in a therapeutic and/or medical setting, horses can assist humans with fears and loneliness, decrease pain perception, encourage movement and speech (stroking and talking to an animal) and increase self-confidence and self-esteem. Equine-facilitated life coaching is just one additional development in the bridge between horses and humans. We want to create a serene place where people can come and we can help them to focus on themselves and their issues, whetherbusiness or personal.
