Testimonial:
"The Introduction to Horse Assisted Learning & Psychotherapy at
‘Horses for Causes’ in Blaby, was a great way to connect with others
within both the the mental health and horse worlds who share a joint aim
in harnessing the unique qualities of the horse to help people to learn
or heal.
We met a wide range of psychotherapists and counsellors, as well as equine
specialists who were all at different stages of participation in the
growing 'Equine Assisted' industry. Some attendees were accredited
psychotherapists looking to incorporate horses into their existing
mental health practice, other attendees were intending to open Horse
Assisted Centres, and some - such as Penny Bond from Hush Farms were
able to share their insights as experienced practitioners .
Tina,
from Equichanics, who delivered the the presentation was great fun as
well as extremely thought provoking, giving us hands on experience of
how the behaviour of horses can open up conversation between therapist
and client. I left feeling grateful that our work is being represented
by such professionals and awed by the power of this work to change
lives".
