How equine coaching can help you find a balance between feelings and stress

You feel everything. Every feeling, every mood, every tension—you seem to pick it all up from the people around you. At home, at work, in social situations—you tend to want to solve tension and problems as quickly as possible. You want everyone around you to feel good, and you're fully committed to that. But where is your wellbeing in all of this?

‍

You may notice it now: you are exhausted. The constant urge to care for others, create harmony, and keep things running smoothly takes its toll. You feel tense, your sleep is disturbed, and your energy has run out. It is admirable that you are now deciding to seek help, because that is a first step towards recovery.

Equine coaching as a mirror of your inner world

Equine coaching is a powerful way to get back in touch with yourself. It helps you sort out your thoughts and feelings and gives you the peace and space you need to get back into balance. When you're with a horse—whether it's on the pasture or in the paddock—something special changes. The horse sees you as part of its herd, and in a herd, it is very important to maintain peace, safety and balance.

Horses are extremely sensitive to their environment and respond directly to the energy you emit. They are like mirrors for our inner world. If you are stressed or too much in your head, the horse will immediately pick up and reflect this. This is what makes horse coaching so valuable; the horse confronts you with how you really feel in a gentle but clear way, even if you didn't know it yourself.

Listening to yourself and what you need

In this fast-paced world, we often forget to listen to what our bodies and minds really need. Horse coaching helps you regain this awareness. What do you need to get back into balance? What steps can you take to take better care of yourself?

The great thing is that, just like the horse in the herd, you can also regain your strength and balance. And when that happens, you'll find that not only you, but those around you, are thriving. Because when you are in balance, it radiates to your environment.
