About Equine therapy

Therapy with horses are developing fast, and many people are now using horses in therapy and learning environments.
We have developed a methode, where it is important that the horses do not get trained for being a part of the therapy. The horses are allowed to give their authentic feedback for us to be guided. We dont disciplin our horses to help people, we dont use them as a tool, but let them be our guides, to help people better understand themselves.

It is very important for our therapy educations with horses, that you learn to sense the horse, and that you dare to let the communication from the horse really be expressed. A great deal of the work is from the ground. Everything we teach about contact and communication, we bring it on, when we mount the horse.

Horse & Humanship® is based on how a herd of horses regulates and organises itself. Most people see dominant horses as leaders. We do not – We see the herd as a holarki, where no one is above each other and everyone has an important role in the herd structure. One of the roles is the Lead horse who do not dominate other horses – instead it shows the way. A Lead honour itself. Transferred to psychological terminology it means that we, when we are in contact with our own inner lead, feel our self-esteem.

When you over the course of the education, learn to connect with your inner Lead qualities, you also learn to be with horses as equals, and can use this in your work with horses and the people who seek your help.

In an equal partnership, where humans do not need to suppress or correct horses. Instead they are allowed to be the authentic version of themselves. The horse does not have to live up to a certain role or to be trained in a certain way to be a therapy horse. We believe that horses, like humans, unfold their potential best when they are allowed to be exactly who they are.

This way of coexist with the horses, we call Horse & Humanship®, because it is not only about understanding the horses, but also includes understanding yourself. To unfold this you must look at your own role, influence and behavior together with the horse. You must have the courage to look inside yourself and meet your wounds, which may prevent you from unfolding your full potential.
