Why Horses?
Equine Guided Education (EGE) is an experiential learning process that sticks. Horses are non-judgmental, honest mirrors. Working with horses helps you become aware of confusion, anxieties and limiting beliefs that inhibit your ability to reach your goals. It also helps you become more aware of and attuned to your strengths. Exercises with the horses (all done on the ground), and insights from human coaches clarify your vision and give you words and actions to live the life you know is possible. Goals become reality--with ease!
Horses naturally and primarily use their bodies to "know" the world. Although human beings at this time in history rely heavily on language, we are still wired up, as our ancestors were, to learn things through our bodies that can only be described in language after the fact. Some examples are: sensing danger, reading the wind before a storm comes, and responding to the look on a child's face.
One reason EGE is so effective is its body-centered impact. Participants move their bodies in the arena or the pasture. They smell, touch, see, and hear the horses. The horse picks up what is congruent or incongruent in the person’s body through its body. In any exercise you do with a horse— haltering, leading, grooming, etc.—clients get instant feedback about how they operate.
The human body has a cellular memory which, when activated through body-centered learning, can reveal patterns and beliefs that are different from what we say we want. Energy patterns also play into our body awareness, e.g., where the person blocks energy, where energy moves, how to ground it and direct it consciously.
So Why Horses? Horses are intuitive beings who can show us in an instant when we are fooling ourselves and when we are on the right track. As herd animals who, for their survival, are tuned in to the slightest inconsistency in their environment, they mirror back to us inconsistent behaviors we may not have been aware of -- behaviors that stop us from moving forward in life or moving deeper into our own authenticity. When clients leave a session with the horses, they leave with insights grounded in the body that they can apply immediately to their lives.
