The Wise Horse

Equine Assisted Learning is all about helping people get to know themselves. This is the very first step to becoming a better person; a better mother or father, a better coach or teacher, a better employer...

It allows us to recognise our own emotional state and interact with other people (and animals) from a perspective of awareness, where we are able to respond rather than react.

It allows us to observe and become aware of aspects of ourselves that may not serve us or those around us.

It is the beginning of change to become an improved version of ourselves. And the awesome part is that we are all capable of this ourselves. We just need to take the time, with the right guides, to make it happen.

At The Wise Horse we offer individual and group self awareness and skill building sessions that follow the Equine Psychotherapy Institute's teachings, with the horses there to support us.

    “I recently had the pleasure of attending an EAL session with Nicole and her beautiful horses. It was an amazing nurturing experience. As someone who has not had a great deal of experience around or exposure to horses, I had some worries on how the session would play out. However, from the moment I arrived, Nicole went above and beyond to ensure that I felt comfortable and safe. Nicole ensured that my concerns did not impact the experience. It is obvious that Nicole is competent and passionate about this space. Nicole's capability and the environment that she practices provided me with a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to return and would recommend 100% to children, young people and adults"

  • Jess

    When first experiencing Nicole's offerings I took more away that I ever expected. I gained deep, new learnings and wisdom about myself. Especially my personal instincts and how they play out in everyday life for me. Throughout the experience I felt safe and at ease with Nicole's guidance. Highly recommend!
