The bond between horses and humans
is a truly beautiful thing to witness and experience. Horses have, for centuries, travelled and learned alongside
their human companions.
But how often do we stop and listen
to what THEY are teaching us? Really stopped and watched how horses interact
with the world? Horses are
naturally intuitive creatures that trust their instincts to guide them at every
moment and in every encounter. We
humans have suppressed our intuition, our empathy, and our openness to learning
from the world around us.
With Equine Guided Education (EGE) the
focus is on “being in the world”; guiding you back to yourself, to what really
matters, and to an openness and understanding of the word around us. The Equine Guided Educator will help
individuals to identify their future goals and to develop a healthy
self-knowledge and responsibility.
Horses guide individuals toward a
healthier sense of self during the course of the education. Because horses experience the world in a
way that is truly unique to them, they are able to react to each experience
without doubt in their abilities and their place in the world. By opening themselves to the horse’s
way of experiencing life, individuals open themselves to an education in life
itself.
The guide, horse, helps find paths through previously
unexplored territory; unexplored territory such as healthy thought processes,
awareness of goals, and connection with the world. Learning methods like kinesthetic learning are employed with
hands on activities to help individuals feel what the horse is feeling and to
connect physically with their guide.
EGE can be useful in many different
life arenas – building workplace confidence, parenting, therapy, leadership
development, etc. The Equine Guided Educator is trained to recognize each
individual’s strengths and weaknesses and to plan a unique educational
experience with these in mind. The horse, Educator, and individual, will embark
on a journey together toward a healthier and happier life.
