Equine Therapy 

EQUINE ASSISTED SESSIONS

Kim has lived alongside horses since she was a toddler. She enjoyed their company and the freedom they provided as she explored the South Downs, captivated and wholly immersed in the present moment. This connection with horses relieved her anxiety-ridden adolescence while galloping along the Sussex bridleways.

During her teens and into adult life, many of the horses she took on exhibited behavioural problems. These problems were often attributed solely to the horse's 'difficult' behaviour, with little consideration given to the potential impact of the rider's internal state or behaviour when interacting with the horse.

Kim competed as a young girl and into adulthood until travelling in her late twenties; over time, she found that training methods were heavy-handed and pressurised. Many modalities used an understanding of equine behaviour against the horse rather than for a harmonious and equal relationship with the horse, which is the heartbeat of all she brings to her work with the herd she shares this land with.

A new school of thought emerged after returning from her travels around Australia. Kim trained as a complementary animal practitioner and stopped riding to focus on her new family. This period allowed for time and space to realise how her horses' behaviour reflected the internal thoughts and emotions she experienced and how if she approached her horses in a hurry or without considering them, inevitably, their behaviour would mirror this, leading to an unpleasant experience for all! It sparked an interest in how horses can help people in a therapeutic setting and how the horse's voice and needs must be respected when working with clients.
