WELCOME TO THE
PATH OF THE HORSE

Horses helping us heal.

At The Path of the Horse, we utilise Equine-Assisted Therapy to support individuals of all ages,  backgrounds and needs in their pursuit of improved mental health and overall well-being.
 
We employ a powerful, effective, and compassionate approach that empowers our clients to make positive change.

What We Do

Through Equine-Assisted Therapy and Learning, we guide individuals towards greater self-awareness, empowering them to make informed choices about their lives.

Our clients are welcome to engage in secure activities alongside our horses. Subsequently, they can reflect on and process their experiences, emotions, and thoughts if they choose.

By fostering a profound sense of 'awareness,' we dedicate ourselves to facilitating healing, cultivating resilience, nurturing meaningful relationships, and promoting sustained mental well-being. We embrace individuals as they are, valuing every emotion and feeling they bring.

Who We Help

At The Path of the Horse, our commitment spans diverse communities and people of different ages and experiences from all walks of life. Everybody is welcome.
 
We proudly support veterans, emergency service personnel, and their families, aiding in the management of conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Simultaneously, we help young people discover coping mechanisms and empower them to understand their feelings and make informed choices.
 
We also collaborate with NDIS participants, individuals with Autism, those facing challenges such as addiction, self-harm, grief, depression, anxiety, and various other conditions.

Why Horses?

Horses possess an extraordinary ability to alleviate stress and a truly unique capacity to share their empathy with humans. They are non-judgmental, completely honest, and cherished assistants in the healing process. These gentle beings also excel at being great listeners.

No prior horse experience is necessary—just an open mind and a willingness to embrace a new way of allowing yourself to feel. During your time with us, you might be invited to meet the entire herd, spend time grooming one, engage in controlled lead work, partake in a mounted experience, or simply share space with a member of the herd that you feel drawn to.

Your Support Matters!

We operate as a self-funded charity, and the upkeep of our trained, happy, and healthy horses, along with maintaining our leased property, is a time-consuming and costly endeavour. 

Your support plays a crucial role in enabling us to continue our mission. Whether it's through a donation to aid our clients, sponsoring a horse, providing horse feed, or contributing to facility improvements, every bit of assistance makes a significant impact.

If you share our commitment to making a positive difference, we invite you to reach out and explore the various ways you can support us.
