Start to co-sync your central nervous systems
Horses are very sensitive, just like dogs. As herd animals, they pick up on each other's hormones and heart rates in order to operate as a herd.
When we get present and mindful, changes take place in our bodies that the horses then mirror. They become gooey and sleepy. I call this Bringing Them Down.
Once the horses are in a sleepy state, they are very still. They just want to be close to us. This is where we really focus and practice our meditation. The more present we are, the sleepier they will become. They often lay down or rest their noses on us. The co-syncing is now reversed! we are mirroring their huge capacity to be present and we start to receive. The peace and bliss that you feel is hard to describe. You just have to try it.
"The best thing to do in the Lakes" Josie, London.
Meditate With Horses benefits everyone. From people with PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, cancer and autism to visitors looking for a genuine deep experience of the Lake District's natural beauty.
If you are on Holiday in The Lakes, then please make sure you book this for the beginning of your holiday. It is very effective in helping you leave your worries behind and drop into the landscape completely.Your holiday will be all the better for it.That is a promise.
A paradise for horses
We normally meet at Holmeshead Farm in Ambleside. Occasionally the venue changes slightly due to grazing rotations but we will dutifully inform you. The surroundings are always breathtaking.
Please do this experience at the beginning of your holiday so that you can leave the minutia of daily life behind and really land in this wonderful environment.
Beautiful accommodation is available for people visiting solely for this experience. Please enquire.
We don't prioritise riding
Many of our horses are rescued from being destroyed because they can "no longer be ridden"
Our horses all have their own unique personalities.
Their needs and personalities come first and riding comes last
We just love hanging out with them. They are the best fun!
You will be invited to really get to know the horses and begin the bonding process by grooming and massaging.
