About

Welcome to the herd Whether you are interested in personal development to access your emotional intelligence, shamanic experiences or horse healing, we offer a safe and supportive approach to help you on your journey. We welcome people from all walks of life to experience the profound wisdom and teachings of horses in East Sussex, UK.

We welcome people from all walks of life to experience the profound teachings of horses. The EponaQuest approach can help you to embrace your authentic self. Equine Facilitated Learning may help you to understand the root of your fears, identify conditioned patterns and emotional blocks that could be limiting your life. Each session is carefully suited to your comfort level.

Whether you are interested in a private or group session, we begin with creative and theoretical exercises in our teaching room. We then move into a safe space to communicate with horses in the field, ménage or round pen. Through a series of appropriately tailored activities, participants are able to deepen their awareness of core feelings and body awareness to heighten their emotional and social intelligence skills.

Participants will leave with practical tools that can be used in every day life and challenging situations. When partnering with horses, you will often find your emotions and issues are reflected or triggered by horse behavior. This provides a unique learning opportunity to work through blocks safely and clearly. Horses provide a non-biased sounding board for you to get to the core of what’s going on and in turn, learn how to process your feelings and take an action to release them. Above all, you will leave equipped with techniques and that will support in many situations beyond horses. For Adults The EponaQuest approach can support those experiencing challenges with: setting and achieving goals, leadership, career, family, relationships, communication, self-trust, mutual respect, healthy boundaries and more. Equine Facilitated Learning helps participants to become emotionally fit in order to live a more empowered and full life.

For Children Experiential Learning for children can help to broaden awareness of other people and the interacting world. Children are safely guided through a variety of horse activities. They are also encouraged to understand and identify their emotions. With the pressures of the modern world, results can include increased confidence, co-ordination, social awareness, team leadership and self-leadership. Children over the age of ten and teenagers are welcomed. All sessions must be supervised by a parent or legal guardian.

Shamanism; Shamanism with horses provides an opportunity to tune into energetic states of awareness and explore deeper realms of consciousness and connection. This is a heart-centred approach with horses. Equine beings can support us to tune with our own spirit, mind and body while feeling grounded and present. Horses offer profound teachings and insights into simply being. They have an incredible telepathic and psychic ability. Horses are emotionally acute and always aware. It is the combination of these qualities that make horses such magnificent teachers.

Womans Circle; What is a Women’s Circle?

A women’s circle is a safe space for women to share, be heard and be seen.

What we do in circle is hold a loving space for each other to find our core truth and remember the powerful, beautiful beings we are. We each have beauty and power inside. We don’t need fixing. We need space to talk, not to be judged, not to be criticised but to feel supported and loved as we find our way in the world as best we can.

Women have been sitting in circles longer than written history. We gathered around fires, in sacred places and held space for each other. In circle we come together to connect as we step deeper into our vulnerability and strength. Divisive competition has no place here. Together we are stronger.
