Counselling For Equestrians
Equinox Therapeutic offers counselling sessions that are specifically designed for the equestrian and his or her horse. In a unique combination of psychology, horse training, and teaching, the horse owner/rider will be supported in identifying particular challenges, formulating a progressive learning plan, and developing and maintaining new behaviours and mindsets with his or her horse. Many clients that access this service are interested in overcoming the negative impact that a particular event has had on their relationship with their horse, or find themselves answering yes to some of these questions:
Are you and your horse...
• struggling to "get over" a traumatic event that resulted in a loss of trust?
• finding that the satisfaction from your time together isn't what it used to be...and you don't know why?
• finding that the pressure of achievement is taking away from the pleasure of being together?
• generally nervous, tense, or unhappy with your time together?
Are you...
• noticing that the stress in your daily life is negatively affecting your riding or your relationship with your horse?
• noticing that the harder you try to be a "perfect" rider/horse owner, the less enjoyable it is?
Other individuals simply want to learn to be closer with their equines and recognize that life events may be affecting their relationship with their horse.
Note that rates for this service are variable according to needs. The initial assessment fee is $85.00 per hour - should you choose to proceed, futher rates will be determined at that time.
