Why Horses
Horses Evoke Many Emotions
Horses can evoke many responses from a person, all of which are useful in developing awareness. The horse, a beautiful animal that lives in the moment, teaches us how to experience life and reflects or models our behaviors. Through equine connections in Waroona, individuals have the opportunity to learn about building positive relationships.
Horses mirror or model our behavior, providing valuable insights about ourselves. They are completely unbiased, non-judgmental companions. Just the thought of a horse can evoke an emotional response in the human psyche. They can move, touch, and hold us in ways that human practitioners cannot.
Animal-Based Therapy Helps People Learn About Themselves
Animal-based therapy has been successfully used for many years in counseling to help people learn about themselves. Equine-assisted learning, such as that offered by Equine Connections , incorporates the horse as a role model for life, demonstrating how to respond to the environment in the here and now, without clinging to past baggage. The horse encourages individuals to experience a variety of thoughts, feelings, and emotions, many of which we may have become numb or dull to.
How Do We Help People
