Equine Assisted Therapy in Ravenshead

Having a horse present within the therapeutic setting can offer a sense of calm. Horses by nature are prey animals, they live in the moment, they are keen observers and are very aware of movements and emotions around them.

They are excellent at reading nonverbal communication and can be acutely aware of an individual’s emotions. Using feedback from the horse can enable an individual to develop a greater understanding of self.

5/5
My son (7) has been working with Kaye for a few weeks now, and she has massively improved his confidence, concentration and focus. He absolutely loves working with both Kaye and the horses, and looks forward to seeing them every week.
Kaye offers such a wide range of skills and expertise, individually tailored to meet my sons needs. Alongside this, her wonderfully kind, nurturing and loving persona makes the session enjoyable for me, as a parent, too.
I can see us working with Kaye and the horses for a while – I can’t recommend her enough!
