We are officially ready for children sessions from 3 years of age. We start with groundwork in which the children learn how to tune into horse language, and how to control their own body language as well as their invisible energy language.
We feel into each other and work out what emotions the child and pony feels and how those emotions serve us.
After integrating the emotions and then releasing them, the kids learn how to stay grounded within themselves.
Empathy grows, at the same time as learning about setting and respecting personal boundaries.
Once the children are conscious about breathing, We will start to let them ride with a special therapy girth- this therapy girth has a handle on it for easy grabs, but lets the kid’s body connect directly with the horses body.
The sensation of feeling the pony’s warmth and breathing has an instant affect on the children’s body and mind.
Studies have proven how the horse’s and human’s heartbeat become ‘entrained’ to each other.
The children will gain a saddle and rein independent seat before we introduce a small saddle to teach further riding skills
We have different ponies and horses for all kinds of characters and skills. Our equines are ridden in bit less bridles until the rider masters each part of their seat independently and understands the ridden aids entirely.
The parents may sit comfortably in our gallery and enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or some cold refreshments while observing silently.
