Hoof It & Be Herd: An Holistic Journey with Horses

A 4-Week Programme for Adults – Personal Growth, Connection, and Self-Discovery through Horses and Nature

 

Hoof It & Be Herd is a unique, intimate experience designed for adults seeking personal growth and transformation through connection with horses and nature. This closed group runs over four weeks, with a maximum of four participants to ensure a safe, supportive, and deeply personalised experience.

Each week, participants gather to walk alongside horses, engaging in activities, reflective conversations, and shared experiences with both the animals and each other. The horses, intuitive and non-judgmental, serve as a mirror for your emotions, offering you the opportunity to explore personal challenges, build confidence, and foster self-awareness in a nurturing, natural setting.

What to Expect Each Week:

  • Guided walks with the horses around the local area, including quiet roads and paths

  • Holistic activities designed to inspire self-reflection and emotional growth

  • Opportunities for group discussion and connection with like-minded individuals

  • Mindfulness exercises and practices to enhance emotional resilience

  • Personalised attention in a small, supportive group environment

  • Interactive exercises with horses to improve communication, trust, and emotional awareness

  • Time to unwind together over tea, coffee, and delicious homemade cake

Each session is carefully designed to help you connect with the present moment, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and gain practical tools for emotional wellbeing. The combination of walking with the horses, engaging in meaningful activities, and sharing reflections over refreshments creates a powerful and nurturing space for healing and self-discovery.

What Participants Are Saying

“Hoof It & Be Herd has been such a transformative experience for me. Being with the horses and walking in the fresh air each week has given me a sense of peace I didn’t realise I was missing. The sessions allowed me to explore areas of my life I hadn’t been able to address in other settings, and I’ve left each session feeling lighter and more focused.”
— Jill, participant

“The small group setting really allowed me to open up and feel safe. Walking with the horses, even on the roads, was such a grounding experience. I felt like the horses helped me reflect in ways that were difficult to access on my own. The facilitator guided us gently but with real care, and the group discussions were incredibly supportive. Plus, the homemade cake was always a lovely treat!”
— David, participant
