Medicine Horse offers people a chance to experience horses in a completely different way.
The chance to be in relationship with a horse — from the ground, without riding, as equals.
Through that relationship, many things can shift and change –
With forty years of lived relationship with a multitude of different horses and personal experience of their profound sensitivity, wisdom, and power – Sam holds space for you to have your own personal transformational experience with the horses

Medicine Horse is a place where horses help humans heal – not through riding, not as props or tools, not metaphorically – but through meeting and engaging with horses as sovereign allies with an intrinsic nature that is good for our hearts and souls.
Horse Medicine is the profound healing, transformation, and wisdom received through relationship with horses — extending beyond physical or emotional connection – offering guidance and deep personal insight.
Imagine sharing with the horses – their essence and energy, their embodied presence, their personality, characteristics, and behaviour, their intrinsic nature.
And imagine translating those into qualities that you can embody in your own life.


Over 40 years of working with horses and through direct lived experience we’ve felt their healing on many levels. We’ve found Horse Medicine to be good for many different aspects of the human experience.
Quiet the mind, become present, reclaim personal power, embody grace, develop confidence, find purpose, release past trauma, reflect on emotional state, release chronic stress, access inner truths, set boundaries, communicate with clarity and compassion…. and so much more.

Many of us struggle with the following and more

Medicine Horse is based on a simple understanding:
that horses can help us improve our lives.
For thousands of years, horses have lived in complex social herds where surviving and thriving depend on being fully present, tracking energy and emotion, and communicating clearly and effectively.
These same qualities are essential for our own lives.
Medicine Horse creates a space where this wisdom can be experienced directly. In partnership with the horse, clients are supported to explore and learn and discover new ways of being in connection to body, self, family, community and to life.
