Heartwood Equine Connections is a centre for counselling, employing the use of horses as assistants in the healing process. Clients whoseek to enhance their mental health by interacting at a deep spiritual level with their equine partner are assisted to find their own inner truth, answers that may have previously escaped them.  Heartwood Equine Connections applies Equine Facilitated Learning, an experiential and innovative approach to self development. Horses love the social interaction with people. They bring their gifts of intuition, their innate tendency to readily respond to the feelings, thoughts and images of the person they are interacting with,and their gentleness and their genuine desire to help.  The horse-human bond helps people to reconnect to the bodily experience of ” knowing” and the courage to act upon that knowing. We learn to look within to find the truth in our heart and  to listen to find our own answers from within. Once we start listening to ourselves, we create new possibilities for our lives.

Clients report that they have experienced a deep, intimate and sacred connection with the horse they have partnered with.  The connection is a thrilling experience and the feeling remains with them long after.
