healing with horses
EquichanceYour equine therapy centre situated in the heart of the Luberon (84), France. We help you confront and overcome your fears in a context of mutual respect.
Mission
Horses have for a long time and across different cultures, been seen to have special healing and therapeutic powers. They have been seen as mirrors, messengers, work partners and man’s best friend. Equine therapy is not about riding a horse but rather about being in close physical contact with horses to establish a bond of trust and understanding. The aim is to establish a relationship of confidence and equality between the horse and the person. In putting trust in the horse, you are affirming your trust and confidence in yourself and the same applies to the horse.
Freedom of movement
We have trained our horses to be very close to people and naturally easy to approach and handle. The current herd of 7 horses have been specially trained in equine therapy. They are unusually docile and tactile, and whilst playful and animated, are all even tempered. Unlike in traditional equestrian centres, the horses are allowed to roam freely in as natural an environment as possible. Freedom of movement remains at the heart of our project.
