Witnessing the shifts this work creates for others is what makes me certain I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, and I’m excited to keep growing into it with those who feel called to explore #EFL #EAS #EquineFacilitatedLearning #EquineAssistedServices #Horses #LearningwithHorses #HerewiththeHerd
The work isn’t about doing more–it’s about noticing more, and I’ve seen how that simple shift changes how people relate to themselves and everyone around them 🐴💞 #EquineFacilitatedLearning #EquineAssistedServices #Horses #LearningwithHorses #HerewiththeHerd
Working with my mom in session, I saw how differently we listen, set boundaries, and ask for help teaching me that EFL can enable questions and understanding to break down barriers to build bridges 🌉 #EquineFacilitatedLearning #EquineAssistedServices #Horses #LearningwithHorses #HerewiththeHerd
Skip used to approach, then walk away. I'd overanalyze that. Equine-facilitated learning taught me I don’t need to assign meaning to every moment. Life, energy, people ebb and flow and that's ok, not bad. #EquineFacilitatedLearning #EquineAssistedServices #Horses #LearningwithHorses #HerewiththeHerd
When these horses remained resting and enjoying the winter sun as I approached, hopeful to join them, they helped me internalize that the safety that I create in myself can shape how safe others feel. 🐴🌞

"No amount of therapy
can heal a heart that cannot trust.
To learn to trust
is often
the heart of the therapy."

"There is something about the majestic arch of a horse’s neck. The thundering power of a horse running wild and free with flared nostrils, alert eyes and pricked ears that makes us catch our breath. This exquisite animal has shared space with us both in the physical and mystical realms for thousands of years. As far back as our earliest ancestors, who portrayed hundreds of images of horses in their stunning cave paintings, the horse has captured the imagination and hearts of people. These awe-inspiring, large, powerful animals continue to draw us towards them in new and fascinating ways." ~ Excerpt from 'The Horse Leads the Way: Honoring the True Role of the Horse in Equine Facilitated Practice' by Angela Dunning Image by Adela Lia Rusu, licensed via Shutterstock
