“For those unfamiliar with horses, this is an empowering and safe feeling environment. There is only love and acceptance with the herd, the facilitators and the group.”

  what  

Horse Spirit Connections is a non-profit corporation.  Here we provide opportunities for individuals to expand their capacity for self-awareness while strengthening their ability to interact successfully with others.  No previous horse experience is necessary.

To maximize impact and retention, our workshops are experiential; engaging participants on physical, mental and emotional levels. 


Horse Spirit Connections applies Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning (EFEL), an innovative approach to self-development and growth.  Horses have a strong, natural desire to be of service and to interact with people. Given that horses are teachers and healers, they possess a keen, highly perceptive intuition that helps us close the gap between how we actually present ourselves to others and how we think we are being. 

EFEL engages people by offering them the opportunity to fully participate with their mind, body and spirit.  Experiential education is learning by doing with reflection from the horses. These sensitive, intelligent creatures respond to both positive and negative changes generated by a person’s body and behavior.  In other words, horses mirror or reflect the emotions and energy of the people around them. 

People are more readily willing to accept feedback from a horse than they do from humans, as there is no judgment in the horse’s response.  People trust the horse’s reflection as honest and direct.  As we learn from the wisdom of the horse, we develop our intuition and create new possibilities for our lives.

At Horse Spirit Connection we bring you together with horses for a fun, safe and unique experience.  Most of the exercises are done on the ground and they will empower you to make change in your life.  We invite you to explore the possibilities.
