This video is so fun to watch and everyone is having a good time. Underneath the joy there are some super important happenings we are blessed to be a part of. 😇
Partnering means physical, emotional, mental and spiritual communication.
For people that do not know how to communicate, deal with trauma, or have physical and/or mental challenges- partnering does not come naturally.
These sweet students are using all of their faculties to manage and cope in a new experience.
They are watching the horses behavior and reaction; checking spatial awareness, utilizing problem solving skills and responding to the horse’s body position with theirs. They are doing all these things calmly while experiencing the joy of the unpredictability.
Horses love to play and are curious too! 🧡🐴✨
Please share with someone you know that could benefit or come join us yourself for some engaging growth, joy and fun! 🐴✨
A little Saturday fun!! Apache and Carti 🐴 decided to go for a little swim 😆 our riders did a good job with balance and staying on 🤠
This is a good example of actively participating with our horse partners! Engaging the core and staying on and in the center! 🐴🧡
When working with horses you have to have trust and be a good leader. Getting Dolly to walk through the little pool of water is a huge win!! 🤗
Olivia getting willow onto the wash rack area in the background is a small win too! That’s another example of trust. 🧡
‼️turn up volume‼️ to hear a testimonial from one of our parents about how her daughter has grown while coming to hearts of Steele 🧡🐴
We love seeing and hearing about the outcome of how impactful working with our horse partners can be!! 🥰
Relay race!! Last one to the saddle is a rotten egg!
