EQUINE CONNECTION SESSIONS
Equine Assisted Learning at the Gold Coast Equine Sanctuary
At the Gold Coast Equine Sanctuary, we are proud to offer ESP Informed Equine Assisted Learning sessions — a transformative experience where horses become partners in personal growth, learning, and self-discovery.
Set in our beautiful sanctuary, our connection sessions provide a unique opportunity to connect with these sensitive, intuitive animals in a safe, supportive environment.
What is Equine Assisted Learning?
Equine Assisted Learning is an experiential approach to personal development where activities with horses are designed to promote emotional growth, self-awareness, communication skills, confidence, and leadership abilities. We incorporate groundwork, interactions from the ground, not the saddle — making it accessible to everyone, regardless of previous horse experience. These sessions are non-ridden sessions only, we do not offer any ridden sessions on our horses.
Horses, are naturally attuned to the energy, emotions, and intentions of those around them. Their immediate and honest feedback provides valuable insights, allowing participants to recognize patterns, strengthen emotional intelligence, and practice new ways of responding.
