Why choose us?

Why choose equine therapy?

Equine therapy offers a different approach from traditional talk therapy. If a room-based session or video zoom call doesn’t resonate with you, or if you’re drawn to being outdoors and with animals, Equine Therapy could be the perfect path. There is no horse riding involved and no experience required.

Horses, with their intuitive and gentle nature offer a unique mirror to our inner selves. Their presence can help us feel more connected, grounded, and at ease.

Therapy sessions

What happens during a therapy session?

In an Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) session, you’ll experience a safe, supportive space to work through your goals and challenges. We start each session with a conversation about your current needs. From there, I guide you through a regulation activity to bring a sense of calm to both your body and mind, preparing you for your time with the horses. Based on your comfort level, you’ll have a variety of ways to engage with the horses. This may include observation of horses, meeting with horses at liberty, touching, grooming and leading your horse, leading at liberty (leading horses without a lead rope) or various creative activities with the horses. You’re free to be as close or as distanced from the horses as you feel comfortable, with no horse-riding involved. This ground-based equine therapy allows you to interact with the horses in a way that feels authentic and safe for you.

At Equine Inspired Therapies, we’re fully qualified, trauma-informed, and passionate about creating a meaningful experience for each client. Our sessions are designed to explore areas such as emotional regulation, building healthy relationships, healing trauma, managing mental health, and personal growth.

If you’re ready to learn more, I invite you to reach out and inquire about a session for your individual needs or ask about any group sessions we may offer. Whether you’re an individual or part of a group, we can work together to support your goals.

What you need to know

What you need to know before your session

No previous experience with horses is required for equine therapy. Sessions are held entirely on the ground—this is not a riding lesson. You’re welcome to engage with the horses as closely or distantly as you feel comfortable. Since sessions are outdoors, please dress appropriately. Closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and comfortable clothing are recommended. Don’t forget to bring water, sunscreen, and a hat to stay sun-safe during your time with us.

All sessions are private and confidential, designed to respect your space and healing journey. Sessions last 60 - 90 minutes and bookings are essential. I kindly ask that you arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your appointment, as this helps us maintain privacy for all clients. For safety, smoking is not permitted on the grounds.

If you’re looking for a guided program to explore equine therapy, consider our Horse Wisdom Program. This structured approach combines the therapeutic benefits of equine-assisted activities with personalised guidance to support your ongoing journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Equine Inspired Therapies was a perfect introduction to EAP! Vicki provided a safe, supportive environment and guided me in connecting with my emotions through nature and the senses.

I had an amazing experience with Vicki at Equine Inspired Therapies. I have had trust and control issues in my past relationships and by working with Vicki and a beautiful horse, Clyde in the arena I was able to let go of my past and feel nurtured, peaceful and supported again. Thankyou Vicki for helping me open up my heart again to feel connection and love.
