The way horses respond to us teaches us a lot about ourselves.

So true

Horses Teach Us A Lot...

A wonderful program demonstrating the positive powers of building a relationship with horses. Well worth listening to.

Indigenous equine therapy in the Kimberley Aboriginal mental health researcher Professor Juli Coffin has taken out top honors at Western Australian Mental Health Awards in recognition of her ground breaking work providing young indigenous people with trauma-informed support by harnessing the healing power of horses.

Horses. Look fabulous on the outside, but more importantly make us feel fabulous on the inside. 🦄🦄🦄

Recent studies conducted by the Institute of HeartMath provide a clue to explain the bidirectional "healing" that happens when we are near horses. According to researchers, the heart has a larger electromagnetic field and higher level of intelligence than the brain: A magnetometer can measure the heart's energy field radiating up to 8 to 10 feet around the human body. While this is certainly significant it is perhaps more impressive that the electromagnetic field projected by the horse's heart is five times larger than the human one (imagine a sphere-shaped field that completely surrounds you). The horse's electromagnetic field is also stronger than ours and can actually directly influence our own heart rhythm!
Horses are also likely to have what science has identified as a "coherent" heart rhythm (heart rate pattern) which explains why we may "feel better" when we are around them. . . .studies have found that a coherent heart pattern or HRV is a robust measure of well-being and consistent with emotional states of calm and joy--that is, we exhibit such patterns when we feel positive emotions.
A coherent heart pattern is indicative of a system that can recover and adjust to stressful situations very efficiently. Often times, we only need to be in a horses presence to feel a sense of wellness and peace. In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits while interacting with horses, including lowered blood pressure and heart rate, increased levels of beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters that serve as pain surppressors), decreased stress levels, reduced feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, improved social functioning; and increased feelings of empowerment, trust, patience and self-efficacy."

Pony spa day.
Buddy got some Diamonds 💎 in his mane and Gorgeous Guinness got a visit from his favourite friend and received a makeover 🦄🦄💎💎😀😀

I thought I’d post this again today.

I will never ask you for anything- ever. Apologies if this has happened to you.)

A fabulous day spent with ponies after the rain

So true ❤️

What a nice reminder.

While there is a way to go before the stable walls are full a great start has been made. EAL with art brightens every day in the stables at Arandth ❤️👍😁🐴🖌🖍✏️

Introducing Miss Rori 🐴❤️

Rori is Ted Bears 🐻 best friend 💗

Miss Rori is a wee girl who loves to have her mane dressed up. Today was a good day for Rori 🎀

Ted and one of his EAL friends were pretty excited to show off a self portrait and display it in the stables on our pin up board

Horses + Art = extra special EAL sessions 😁👍🐴🖍🖌✏️

It’s been a hot and smoky few weeks. A change in the weather last week meant Ted could enjoy a visit from one of his EAL friends ❤️🐴😁
