As an Equine Assisted Coach, how do you hear the unspoken language of horses? Here is one way . . . Listening Beyond Words In equine assisted coaching, learning to "listen" to horses involves tuning into their non-verbal cues and understanding their responses to our presence. This process requires us to slow down, become more aware, and connect with our own feelings and intentions. As we learn to interpret the silent language of horses, we develop a deeper awareness of our own inner world.

Understanding Sentience and Its Impact on Equine Assisted Coaching At The Freedom Way®, we believe in the sentience of horses—their ability to feel, perceive, and experience emotions. This profound understanding is reshaping the equine assisted coaching industry. Sentience means recognizing horses not just as animals, but as conscious beings with their own emotions and insights. Our belief in equine sentience revolutionizes how we interact with and learn from these majestic creatures. By acknowledging their emotional depth, we create a more respectful and empathetic coaching environment, enhancing the transformative power of our sessions. This approach fosters genuine connections and profound personal growth for both clients and coaches. In our Equine Assisted Coach Training Program, emphasizing horse sentience is paramount. Coaches learn to honor and interpret the nuanced behaviors and responses of horses, enriching their coaching practice and deepening their own personal transformation. Join us and experience the incredible impact of recognizing horse sentience in equine assisted coaching! Want to learn more? Visit our website at https://lnkd.in/gj4MrFHX.

Soothing Anxiety or Rewarding Relaxation? When training by reward, the difference is important. Key points 1.Training horses by non-edible reward is effective and long-lasting. 2.It improves equine motivation, creating a horse who wants to learn. 3.Rewarding, separate from soothing, can also be effective with people. 4.Cognitive reasoning and verbal explanation are important when applying the lesson to people.

Shadows often hold more depth and substance than what meets the eye! This is what an Equine Facilitated Learning session can also look like. Its a still but very powerful moment between the client and the horse. In the quiet partnership with these majestic beings, one discovers that what’s in the shadow is gently coaxed into the open. It’s a gentle transformative journey where horses become guides for the hidden aspects within us, patiently inviting our untapped potential to emerge and be embraced. Get in touch if you too want to let their wisdom guide you on your path of self-discovery and personal growth, tapping into the depths of your own shadows for transformation and enlightenment. #equinefacilitatedlearning #selfdiscovery #personalgrowth #enlightenment

Getting to Know Your Horse - Theory and Practice When we really want to make the effort to prepare ourselves and our horses for ALL of the required circumstances in order to produce a healthy partnership, there is a lot to consider. Being sufficiently educated from the theories and written study to the trial and error of practicing, interpreting, improving and continuing to evolve in sill level is, for most, a lifelong journey. As part of our Vision and Mission to encourage owners and professionals to move towards evidence and research based, whole horse/whole rider protocols, we try to break information down and present it in a way that is not too overwhelming. From our free equine muscles series (https://lnkd.in/eSh7G3iw) to our membership and online courses, we are here to bring the pieces of the puzzle together. Our featured course today is Basic Equine Bodywork for Owners, where you can better learn what bodywork is, why it is important and get some simple techniques that you can practice yourself.
