Equine Experiential Education
““Horses, just by their large gentle presence, put people therapeutically in touch with the vitality of being alive.””
Heart Soul Horses Helping Humans utilizes horses to facilitate those participants who are seeking a greater understanding on how they present or project themselves onto the world stage.

Our Equine Assisted Program is designed to help individuals and groups discover themselves by utilizing the highly receptive senses of horses.
During equine-human exercises, belief systems are often divulged to those individuals interacting with an abundantly aware thousand pound sensitive being. The results include insights, opportunities for change, and life enriching self-empowerment.
Experiential means going through the process is what teaches.
Being present in the moment and what is revealed through watching the horse and their participant during a specific task becomes the topic for follow up discussion during debriefing.
the experiential component
“Why do you think the horse behave that way?” “What did you want to accomplish by doing that thing you did with the horse?” “How did he respond?” “Does this happen any other time in your life?”
There isn’t a set agenda.
The process is: what is revealed and what it means for the participant.
Horses possess the innate ability to mirror for humans our confusing issues, our insecurities, and struggles that tend to undermine our happiness. Their adeptness for reflecting to us our behavior is born out of their highly refined senses. As prey animals, their senses are the tools they trust for their survival and hence become a remarkable talent for disclosing to us what we can’t see or don’t know.
Our program works with individuals and does not require previous horse skills, nor is this a riding course.
Participants including: veterans, at-risk youths, foster kids, women, families, men, groups, and corporate teams searching to improve on some of the following topics:
Creative Thinking
Effective Communication
Problem Solving Techniques
Leadership
Responsibility/Accountability
Teamwork
Self-confidence
Utilizing mustang and rescued horses for these human-horse sessions gives new purpose to horses formally deemed unworthy.
Giving these sentient beings the opportunity to help humans is a fundamental purpose for our nonprofit and helping to empower and nurture humanity is what keeps use motivated.
