Equine Assisted Wellness

We are an Equine Assisted Wellness facility based in Klapmuts, Cape Town. Together with horses as our co-facilitators we support predominantly women from age 16 up to develop personal power and wellness on all levels – mental, emotional and physical.

Horses are masterful teachers

Horses live and embody many of the skills and qualities that are omitted from our education but that are essential to a functional and successful life, including – relationship, effective communication, conflict resolution, healthy boundaries, right place within the community, teamwork and leadership.

“We’ve learnt and experienced how working with horses keeps us grounded, present, awake and aware – basically in an optimal state”

Are you experiencing any of the following?

Confusion, anxiety, chronic heightened stress. Feeling hopeless, frustrated, helplessness or stuck.
Depletion, isolation, struggling to make sense of your experience and reality.
Needing to up your confidence, set healthy boundaries, navigate relationship and develop assertiveness.

Then we recommend Horse Medicine.

Our intention through our Horse Medicine Sessions is to guide you to a place of FLOW,
from where you can navigate your life with mindfulness, clarity and purpose.

Horsewomen
share some key characteristics

A typical horsewoman tends to be confident, bold, strong, capable, clear, assertive, active, persistent and communicative.

These are great characteristics to have and embody…

The question is, who taught these women?

Well, the horses did!

Horses are
Masterful Teachers

But you don’t have to become an equestrian or learn to ride in order to achieve the same.

You can achieve this, (and more), through working with horses on the ground and at liberty with the horses participating fully as session co-facilitators and freely of their own will and accord.

Coaching with Horses?

Learning with Horses?

Mindfulness with Horses?

Yes! All of that, and more

Horses are MASTER teachers and healers
and working with them delivers big results

Globally horses of all shapes and sizes
are facilitating deep, profound, much needed,
and richly transformational work

Ready for a challenge?

If you are willing to step-up and learn how to successfully engage and work with a horse, you’ll find what you need inside of you to live on purpose and with clarity and power.

If you are like us..

You’re quite serious about living your life, on your terms.
You understand that your life could be a masterpiece,
and you the creator of it.
You know that it gets better!
And you’re ready to turn up and do the work required.

AND THEN

There is this deep connection between women and horses…

…which makes working with horses especially powerful for women.

But you have to be ready to challenge yourself.

Because Horses work at a very deep level

And Horses accept only the truth.

Connect

And because it takes a LOT of courage to work with a horse, an animal who is substantially bigger than you, probably ten times heavier than you in weight, and who doesn’t speak English!

It’s definitely not for everyone.

Added to that is the fact that a horse is a flight animal (those gorgeous photos of horses galloping on the beach with the wind in their manes?) and will try to run away fast if not handled in an understanding and aware manner.

Our lead coach is
Sam Huckle

Coach
and Equine Professional

I was told by a boyfriend once “I bet you could achieve anything if you set your mind to it”.

His statement caught me by surprise and I had to think about it for a bit, but in the end I agreed.

There is something about consciously and successfully working with horses that fills me with the sense that I can do anything.

I want that to be true for you too

We are here to support you in your process.

More ways to work with horses

You don’t just need to coach with us, we also offer the following Equine Assisted sessions

Counselling

Counselling is for you if there has been a recent event that you are seeking to navigate. Counselling is different in feel. You may simply require non-judgmental listening space together with the horses to breath, unpack your mind and heart, replenish and resource.

Family Constellations

Family Constellations is a modality that works on inter-generational patterns and trauma; on the family system. A Constellation is recommended
when there is a pattern at play in your life that
does not seem to shift no matter how much work you have done on it.

Wellness

Horses have a naturally coherent heart rhythm.
There are benefits to simply being in the
presence of a horse, for the above reason and
more. We add to this with physical, breathing,
and mindfulness exercises; meditation,
visualization, transwork and energywork
according to what you need.

So many beautiful Horse teachers

Horses are Masterful Teachers

Horse teach personal power.

They teach boundaries, confidence, assertiveness, congruency, authenticity, persistence, patience, stamina, planning and strategizing, clear and effective communication, relationship, partnership, connection, bonding, awareness and understanding of another’s experience, leadership, teamwork, compassion, embodiment, energy management, self-awareness, presence, coherence, co-regulation, community, and family. They also teach about freedom, responsibility, and how to live Big and Bold.

You’ll notice that ALL of these qualities and life skills are essential to our daily lives as people and necessary for our SUCCESS!

So much Pure Magic!

Are you ready to meet your most genuine and powerful self?

Wait – what exactly do we mean by power?

Let’s be clear

We don’t mean ‘power over another’. Not that kind of power that tends to make people nasty and corrupt; that’s not what we are advocating.
We’re talking about true power, the personal power that is the birth right of each one of us.

The power to

lead and shape your life
manifest your potential
transform what needs to shift and get unstuck
turn goals and visions into reality
