The Experience
Arrive: A paradise for horses
We normally meet at Holmeshead Farm in Ambleside. Occasionally the venue changes slightly due to grazing rotations but we will dutifully inform you. The surroundings are always breath-taking.
It is recommended to do this experience at the beginning of your holiday so that you can leave the minutia of daily life behind and really land in this wonderful environment.
Beautiful accommodation is available for people visiting solely for this experience. Please enquire for more information.
Meet the Horses: We don't prioritise riding
Many of our horses are rescued from being destroyed because they can "no longer be ridden" and they all have their own unique personalities.
Their needs and personalities come first and riding comes last.
We just love hanging out with them. They are the best fun!
You will be invited to really get to know the horses and begin the bonding process by grooming and massaging.
Bring them down: Start to co-sync your central nervous systems
Horses are very sensitive, just like dogs. As herd animals, they pick up on each other's hormones and heart rates in order to operate as a herd.
When we get present and mindful, changes take place in our bodies that the horses then mirror. They become gooey and sleepy. We call this Bringing Them Down.
A Healing State: Stillness and bliss
Once the horses are in a sleepy state, they are very still. They just want to be close to us.
This is where we really focus and practice our meditation. The more present we are, the sleepier they will become. They often lay down or rest their noses on us.
The co-syncing is now reversed! You are mirroring their huge capacity to be present and we start to receive. The peace and bliss that you feel is hard to describe. You just have to try it!
