Horses are tactile social animals. They form strong bonds with their own friends, and they can and do equally form amazing relationships with us. They respond to touch, and will offer affection and loyalty if we treat them with respect. The wonderful thing about this work is that a single horse can give each individual person such a uniquely different experience, ensuring that your experience will always be personal to you.

Cancer might have taken away the sense of order in your life. It can represent a point when you realise that you don't actually have that much control over anything. But when a 1000lb horse moves willingly wherever you want, of follows you without any ropes or harnesses or touches your face with his soft lips, then you will gain a sense of your own inner power, and a belief sense that you can take back some order just by being you.

The horse still has behaviour that is rooted deep in history, and that somehow unfolds a sense of archaic oneness that we have mostly lost in today's modern world. My own three horses have been my greatest teachers, often giving me heartache and joy in the same breath! My 28 year old horse Jack [on the left] has been with me for 21 years and is my guiding light in my own personal development.

 
You are not defined by your illness.
Horses respond to what you are not who {your identity - work, social standing, mother, daughter etc} you are.

Horses are sensitive and deeply intuitive animals. As a prey animal, they have natural heightened awareness of the 'energy' of a predator. What this means is that they are tuned in to your feelings and thoughts rather than your behaviour, so they will respond to what is happening to you at a deeper level.
 

On this programme everyone potentially takes away: -

A measured improvement in confidence
The connection & support of a shared experience with other women
A discovery - or reclamation - of unknown personal skills
An understanding of ones own strengths and weaknesses and the tools to help you with both
Enhanced coping strategies
A sense of peace and acceptance
A reduction in stress
A sense of 'magic' when the horse 'gives' himself to you willingly
