Hi,
I joined a group which was set up to help people that have had problems and those that do not have much confidence and we meet up each week and spend time with horses.
I found it helped me so much. I would meet with the others every week at Croft Farm in a Place called Filby near Great Yarmouth In the UK.
We did things like groom the horses and just spend time with them,
It just shows you that A relationship developed with a horse can offer challenges to help overcome fears, build up trust, respect, compassion, develop communication skills, problem solving & coping techniques, self confidence and self esteem. These skills are transferable to many other areas of ordinary day to day life.
Now we have started to meet at another time for lessons too.
I wondered has anyone else joined a group like this? It is amazing how much I have changed since being with the horses and discovering a interest I didnt realise I had and knowing I can work well with the horses has made me consider working with them when I feel stronger!
Just thought I would share as this is such a great thing!
Take care all xxx
