Activities & Inclusions

  • Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) 

    EAL is a powerful self-development modality that enables individuals to strengthen key life skills including communication, empathy, emotional regulation, leadership and teamwork in partnership with horses.  EAL builds on connection, trust and relationships with horses to empower and develop authentic relationships within ourselves and those around us.  The horses are our partners in the process of self-discovery.  Includes horse grooming. Food & recreational activities are provided by our Sponsors, Mega Health Warehouse (not funded by NDIS).

  • Breath Work & Meditation

    Inspired by the life transforming practices that embody the Wisdom of the Horse, it provides a framework in which we are able to reconnect with our true nature and purpose, through divine wisdom and scientifically backed techniques that harness the collective power of our conscious, subconscious and superconscious intelligence.
