WalkAbout with horses

Journey out into nature walking with a horse at your side

Journey through the veld on foot with a horse in-hand as your companion.

WalkAbout is traditionally a physical journey with deeper spiritual significance; connecting you to yourself, the land and nature. Here we include and enhance the process with the accompaniment of horses.

Walking with horses becomes an experience of present moment attentive and enlivened connection which can extend outwards into a state of communion with all of Nature.

Feel exhilarated, alive, awake, and present to what is Wild within and without.

WalkAbout can be done as a silent meditation or with conversational flow.
