Why Horses?
Working with an equine facilitator offers a new way to explore life’s narratives as horses provide an objective way to see and experience life. Working with horses creates an opportunity to reflect and look inside for your own wisdom, and to your cultural heritage for empowerment. Becoming grounded through sharing space with horses is a common experience it’s a path to discovering what your environment can teach you. Through experiencing an alternative to traditional counselling clients find healing through engaging in meaningful activities outside a clinicical setting.
Working with Shawna, you can explore which horse you are most drawn to work with. Each of the horses have unique personalities and histories of their own, and you may discover that you connect deeply with one of them on some level. It is often an interesting and informative experience discussing what drew you to the horse and how your own stories and personalities are connected. Working with Shawna you will co-develop your sessions to target your personal goals. Shawna will lead you through calm activities with the horses that help you see, connect, and experience yourself at a deeper level. There is no riding; all work with the horses is done through observation, in-hand leading, and grooming.
Shawna and her horses are available to come to your community through outreach. The horses love to visit new places and meet new people. Set up is easy. All that is required is a public community area, best place is a field, where Shawna can bring her truck and trailer and set up a round pen for the horses.
