Equine guided learning
Equine guided learning is a form of personal and professional development for people, achieved through interacting with and relating to horses. No previous horse experience is necessary and all the exercises are non-ridden.
At Equine Affinity we offer bespoke services for individuals, small private groups, work teams or organisations, offering a range of learning opportunities.

What we offer
Leadership training
“In order to lead a horse, one must be consistent, clear, fair, present, communicative, have trust and be certain. In order to lead a team of people, one must have the same skills needed to lead a horse. What better way to learn, than through a magnificent sentient animal” CB, 2020

Team building
Team building
Working with horses and your team allows for clients to understand their impact and influence on others. This enables development of empathy and self awareness, as horses respond authentically to body language and intention. Reflecting on the horse’ response to a team offers immediate feedback on team strengths or areas needed to improve.
Equine therapy
For individuals, couples or small groups who wish to go on a therapuetic journey in the presence of a horse, we offer a safe space with a trained horse specialist and psychotherapist. Often our clients find the insights gained through therapy with horses are very powerful and unforgettable.
Guided walking with horses
With every step I took, guided by the horse, I was encouraged to drop a little deeper into my body. The gentle nudges provided by the Cat (facilitator) and Arthur (the horse), bringing me back to the present moment, resulted in some powerful experiences, which I'm still continuing to process. The woodland was beautiful, and Cat led the walk very gently, imparting her extensive knowledge of horses (and people!) along the way. I travelled from London for the walk and hope to come back for another in the near future. Thank you Cat & Arthur for a truly magical experience. MW
Come on a simple, mindful walk in the beautiful countryside with a horse. Connect to nature. Connect to the horses. Connect to yourself.
With each encounter, you will learn a little bit more about yourself through being with the horses. These interactive sessions can be a one-off or as part of a series. Prices from £30 per session. 1-2 people maximum per session.
