About:

Discover the heart of equine connection at Kindred Spirits Equine. We're dedicated to providing exceptional Equine Assisted Learning and workshops. Join us as we celebrate the spirit of the horse and create lasting bonds with our magnificent horses.

Equine Assisted Learning is an experiential, ground-based activity where participants work alongside horses to build trust, communication, and teamwork. No horseback riding is involved; instead, the focus is on unmounted, objective-based exercises like grooming, navigating obstacle courses, or solving puzzles together.

The Benefits of Equine Interaction

Because horses are prey animals, they are highly sensitive to their environment and instinctively mirror human body language, energy, and intent. This provides immediate, unfiltered feedback that helps groups evaluate their own interpersonal dynamics.

The Benefits of Equine Interaction

Improved Communication: Highlights how people convey boundaries and non-verbal intent to others.
Team Building & Cooperation: Requires pairs or groups to work in unison to safely guide a horse through a task.
Emotional Intelligence: Helps participants recognize and regulate their emotions based on how the horse reacts to their "energy".
Shared Experience: Fosters empathy, vulnerability, and bonding outside of a traditional environment.
