About Harmony Horses
Harmony Horses Equine Assisted Learning offers foundational support for people of all ages and abilities to interact and connect with our trained horses in a supported environment. The presence and gentleness required when interacting with a horse is a huge support for people who may have challenges with socialisation and behaviour in day to day life.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions:
What if I am scared of horses?
These horses are particularly gentle and well trained, but like all animals they might occasionally have a mind of their own. For your safety the practitioner is always right by your side.
​
To ensure the sessions are offering a relaxed learning environment, we start very slowly to build your confidence all the while making sure the horse also gets used to their new guest – you!
​
Will I ride the horses?
No, these sessions are focused on building confidence around and relationship with horses, as such they address many building blocks of great horsemanship through hands on caring and various other learning activities while having our feet on the ground. A solid clear communication with the horse on the ground is the very best foundation for later riding.
How much do the sessions cost?
Sessions are priced based on an hourly rate but can be varied depending on your needs.
