Equicoach - Feeling Horse Coach

Horse Coaching activities are aimed at anyone wishing to embark on a path of personal evolution, without the need for previous experience with horses. The goal is to allow anyone who wishes to develop greater self-awareness, to rediscover forgotten resources and to explore new perspectives to face daily challenges in a more responsible and aware way. Thanks to the interaction with the horses, you will have the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of your inner states and to learn how to transform single experiences into opportunities for individual growth. You will learn to use concrete tools and techniques that allow you to take care of yourself effectively and consciously.

Horse coaching or Equine Facilitated Interaction, is included within the field of evolutionary consultancy which offers activities to support the person and his mental health through an experiential journey. The main tool for creating learning and achieving greater self-awareness and insights is the development of an empathic relationship with the horse. To achieve a state of personal well-being we are guided to rediscover resources and new strategies in order to respond to life's challenges and events responsibly. By "responsibility" I mean the ability to respond to what is happening in and around us in the present moment. Stress, anxiety, confusion, lack of direction, conditioning and self-judgments blind us and block the truest and most natural expression of ourselves and our needs. The most immediate help in learning to be aware of ourselves, of our emotions and reactions, is given to us by interacting with horses.
Experiential horse coaching sessions offer the possibility to recognize our inner states, our thoughts and behaviors, and inspire us to explore new possibilities for transformation or action. Faced with daily events, we have the freedom to choose whether and how to experience them, welcome them and transform them into opportunities in line with our needs.
Alongside the horses, we make new experiences of ourselves which we can then reproduce in our daily lives, thus becoming responsible actors of our lives and free to be unique and true, going beyond the conflicts, fears and tensions that block us.

The process develops with a first approach to the horses and the observation of their immediate and instinctive response to our presence, to then slowly come into contact with our true emotional state: the non-verbal and purely physical response that these wonderful animals give to what hides behind our actions and our words, tells us how much we are aligned in body / mind / action, how honest and true we are in the expression of us in the here and now, or if we pretend.
When interacting with the horses we receive honest and non-judgmental feedback in real time. In a space open to listening and sharing and supported by the facilitator we are free to take the first steps towards awareness of how others see us, how we show ourselves and really are. The horses, which support this protected space, ask us to be "authentic", without filters or masks and make us experience, with total and instinctive acceptance, the truest part and the potential in us that we are not yet able to recognize.

Horses are wonderful animals and very powerful tools to support personal growth and the improvement of the relationship with us and the outside world. Their nature as prey animals keeps them always alert and sensitive to their surroundings. This characteristic of theirs makes them capable of reading non-verbal signals in communication with humans. Their responses to our presence are a consequence of how we really are, beyond the masks and outward appearances and, when we manage to change our inner state to make our presence near them safe, they change the way of behaving towards us. Thus they become effective role models in experiential teaching and in the development of human social skills.
Horses live only in the here and now, without influences from the past or expectations for the future: they therefore ask us to be responsible for ourselves moment by moment, in a continuous state of awareness. Their energy field influences ours and we are gently moved to rebalance our energy, to lower our defences, to open ourselves to all that we are and feel in the present moment. We are thus facilitated to experience true self, to include all that is with awareness and acceptance. To experience meditation...
