Children's coaching with horses

Equine-assisted child coaching, also known as equine-assisted child coaching, is a form of coaching and therapy that uses horses to guide and support children in their personal development and well-being. It can be used for a wide range of challenges, including behavioral problems, emotional difficulties, self-confidence, anxiety and more.

Why horse coaching works for children:

Natural Interaction: Children often have a natural affinity with animals, and horses are particularly sensitive and intuitive. Interaction with horses is less threatening than conversations with adults, which makes children feel more at ease. They perform a variety of activities, such as leading a horse, playing games, grooming, and feeding, depending on the purpose of the session.

Non-verbal communication: Horses respond strongly to non-verbal signals, such as body language and energy. Children learn how their own non-verbal communication influences the horse's response, which promotes awareness and self-insight.

Cooperation and teamwork: Children often learn to work effectively with both the horse and the coach. This can help develop social skills.

Emotional Awareness: During the sessions, children can learn how to recognize and express their own emotions. They can learn to deal with fear, frustration, anger, or other emotions.

Non-verbal communication: Horses respond strongly to non-verbal signals, such as body language and energy. Children learn how their own non-verbal communication influences the horse's response, which promotes awareness and self-insight.


Confidence and Assertiveness: Building a relationship with a horse requires confidence and assertiveness. Children learn how to be more confident and set clear, respectful boundaries.

Cooperation and teamwork: Children often learn to work effectively with both the horse and the coach. This can help develop social skills.


Problem Solving: During the sessions, children are often faced with challenges and obstacles. They are encouraged to find creative ways to solve these problems, which helps them with their problem solving skills.


In short;

A unique learning experience: Equine coaching offers an alternative and experiential approach to learning and therapy, which can meet the needs of children who do not respond well to traditional methods.

My 9 year old daughter had a great experience with Olga and Alyce. She struggled with sleeping problems. In a fun and playful way through games with cuddly toys and other stuff, Alyce confirmed some things and we started working on that and it was a very positive experience. My daughter sleeps better and really enjoyed Olga's peace and Alyce's attention. Definitely recommended for children who are restless and who are struggling with something. Thank you!!!
