Horses Helping Humans Australia

One of the reasons our program is so successful in creating positive change is that we have a support person attend alongside each participant. Support people can be Case workers, Youth or Social workers, Counsellors, Friends, Whanau members or Mentors. Their role is to provide emotional support but also to help in the transfer of learning from the arena to other area's of the participants lives. We really value this high support model and here's what some recent support people have said about our Horses Helping Humans program;

Counsellor; "In all my training I have never come across such a great and easy to understand explanation of what happens to our decision making when under stress. By encorporating the horses to teach the application of these tools you are able to create awareness, understanding and application in a way traditional counselling sessions only aspire too."

Case worker; " This program is extremely effective in enhancing self esteem. I have also gained a better insight into tools I can use to continue to create emotionally safe spaces for each personality type I work with."

Mentor; "You have a great way of creating an inclusive and supportive environment in which our young people feel brave enough to step out of their comfort zone in order to learn new tools to help themselves live a better life."

Whanau member; "Understanding the different personality types has opened the door for me to understand each of our Whanau members better. I can now see why each behaves the way they do and have tools myself to be able to better communicate with them while regulating my emotions."

Whanau member; "The skills we have learnt here are making a huge difference to our entire family. I can now make sense of why my ADHD daughter reacts to certain situations the way she does and what I can do to really support her rather than previously when I thought I was doing this was actually fuelling the fire."

So proud of our Kiwi team.

A bit of a "Funny Foto" post from Lisa on the Sunshine Coast..🤣

Sun is out and sessions at RREAL are on! 🙌 It is fabulous to be back out there. This made me giggle. We put one of the workbooks under a bucket (safely we assumed to stop it blowing away). Turbo found out. “The horse ate my homework”

Dusty Boots is located in Bouldercombe Qld and is facilitated by Linda with her Clydie X Zaldi. This session was from Wednesday.

Zaldi and his young handler finished their 6th weekly session with a bang yesterday on her 17th birthday.
The birthday girl graciously agreed to having the session observed by a couple of Horses Helping Humans trainees. Together Zaldi and his handler confidently demonstrated the six tasks while incorporating all the lessons into a grand finale.
This strong young woman demonstrated grace, softness and compassion in her completion of the tasks with strong body language, strong boundaries and clear communication to Zaldi. Zaldi's attention was on her while each task was executed beautifully with calm assertiveness and together they worked in partnership. It brought a tear to this ol' girl's eye. I am so proud of what this young person achieved. I asked her what she liked about the program and the reply was everything and that it had really helped her confidence. This comment was supported by her Mum. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing you back at Dusty Boots for more sessions with Prince in the near future. Thank you for choosing Dusty Boots.

Let me introduce you all to Vera. Vera is our Horses Helping Humans facilitator in Logan, Queensland. Together with her Head Assistant Facilitator Debbie they are changing the lives of young people. This is what Vera had to say:

"They say that beauty comes from a spirit that has weathered many hardships in life and somehow continues with resilience.

Our horses are the stars of our programs, and have innate inner senses of how each person they come into contact with is feeling, and will adjust their approaches to each person.

At Deeper Soul Connections , our mission is to empower individuals and their families by providing compassionate and personalised opportunities to go within and work on self.

We aim to foster independence, promote well-being, and deepen meaningful connections with yourself and with others.

We aspire to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve, while continually growing and adapting to meet the evolving needs of our community, and are dedicated to building connections within the community, fostering a sense of belonging and social integration for our clients

Above all, we always have fun."

"I'm so happy I can now calm those overbearing emotions when I feel them coming on. I feel empowered and back in controll of myself when before I felt like those big emotions were over powering me. Small differences in how I breathe, move, stand and walk have helped me find my self confidence again. Thank you HHH Nelson Tasman." A recent participants reflection.

Great work Wendy and the team at Horses Helping Humans Atherton Tablelands

Oh my. What a weekend we’ve had at RREAL (proud home of Horses Helping Humans Sunshine Coast). This wonderful group of humans met for a HHH Trainee Facilitators workshop. We got to watch Sue Spence in action. We heard her words of wisdom as she walked the talk of all things HHH. Thank you Linda Browning for bringing everyone together. Thank you to every attendee for your attention and open hearts. It was a privilege to meet, host and coach you all. So tired. So happy.
And so incredibly proud of the RREAL herd. Without you, I have no program. And …..

A great example of how the program changes lives! Awesome work team!

✨️Wow take a look at this client check in, a year on from completing the Horses Helping Humans Program;

"I joined Lenna and Snowey when I was struggling to regulate my stress and emotions following a turbulent separation. What a life changing experience! I absolutely loved my sessions and they have become subconscious remedies in every day life and have set me up for a happy healthy life, I even started my own business 😱"

✨️We love how empowered people feel with the proven and powerful emotional regulation tools they learn on the Horses Helping Humans program, and take with them on their onwards journey. These are proven time and time again, and for this young lady have enabled her to rekindle her self esteem, self belief and zest for life. Congratulations on starting your very own business 👏 🎉

Beautiful work Dusty Boots!

Today was Show Presentation Day for "Mrs Bubbletion" and her very happy friend.
FYI You may not recognise 4Mile Farm 's Bubbles as she is dressed for her undercover spy assignment.
Mrs Bubbletion and her spy partner completed five tasks together as a little mini show demonstration. They worked very well in partnership and enjoyed the challenge. Mrs Bubbletion's handler was awarded a trophy for successfully completing the program today. Thank you to Horse Talk - Central Queensland for funding these three Horses Helping Humans sessions.

As we are proud to have you as part of our Horses Helping Humans Team Linda Browning!
It was an inspirational weekend.

Join us for a Personal Development Communication Equine Assisted Life Skills session, run by Sue Spence the founder of Horses Helping Humans, at Kings Creek Retreat, Krambach.
🐴 Saturday morning 19th August: 9.00am to 12noon
Please read the attached flyer and book your spot!
Sue Spence is an educator who is known as an outstanding communications coach, a public speaker, workshop facilitator, author, and teaches communication skills to corporate groups, underprivileged youth and other disadvantaged groups using the principles of natural horsemanship.
Horses Helping Human's Facilitator's specialise in personality profiling and body language analysis. The program uses a modern adaption of The Four Temperaments theoretical framework, and Sue's unique work demonstrates how choleric, melancholy, sanguine and phlegmatic personality types have their own conditioned responses when under pressure. ‘Horse whispering’ meets ‘people whispering’ within this innovative equine-assisted life coaching program that integrates interpersonal communication skills, body language, emotional intelligence and personality types. This is “simply making each personality conscious of the body language that is hindering their communication”.
Kings Creek Retreat is hosting this event and will be offering Horses Helping Humans sessions to the Community.

Heartfelt response to our amazing program. Great work from the team at Horses Helping Humans Nelson -Tasman Equine Inspired

"It's the happiest time of my week" Tamariki 9 years

This sums up the Horses Helping Humans program in such a beautiful way on so many levels.

✨️A place in which people feel heard, valued and respected.
✨️A place on which mental wellbeing improves within the presence of Horses.
✨️A place in which they learn to understand themselves and others, gaining tools to improve emotional regulation and communication with others.
✨️Most of all a safe space in which powerful and positive change occurs.

Thank you to everyone who is supporting us in bringing this life changing program to our Nelson- Tasman community.
