Equine Assisted Coaching (or Equine- Assisted Learning) is an experiential learning opportunity partnering with horses to improve one’s own self-awareness and discover their strengths. A horse’s heart rate is half of a human’s so their energy level is much lower than ours, just being in their presence can lower stress. They are prey animals and live in the moment. They may experience fear but unlike us, do not obsess and stay anxious. They process and come back to the present. Through this experiential partnership with horses, the goal is to develop mindfulness and self-awareness, learning life skills including personal growth and ways to effectively deal with the challenges in daily life.
