"Horses are deeply emotional beings and have been shown to be able to help adults and children heal from a variety of psychological and physical conditions. 1 In her book Soul Connection with Horses: Healing the Mind and Awakening the Spirit through Equine Assisted Practices, Dr. Suzanne Court explains how working with horses as equal partners in the equine-assisted space while respecting their intuitive wisdom leads to life-changing psycho-spiritual understandings, learning, and healing."
"Through this approach, horses help re-establish natural bonds and intuitive ways of knowing that have become obscured by conditioned thought and ineffective individual narratives. Horses show us that we can trust our intuition and learn how to live from the soul while making meaningful connection with ourselves, other people, other animals, and the natural environment. Marc Bekoff: Why did you write Soul Connection with Horses? MB: Who do you hope to reach? Suzanne Court: I ask myself the same question."
Horses possess deep emotional intelligence and can support healing for both psychological and physical conditions in adults and children. Equine-assisted practices that treat horses as equal partners and honor their intuitive wisdom foster profound psycho-spiritual learning and healing. Such practices re-establish natural bonds and intuitive ways of knowing that are often obscured by conditioned thought and limiting personal narratives. Trusting equine-guided intuition encourages living from the soul and enables meaningful connection with self, other people, other animals, and the natural environment. These principles arose from years of clinical equine-assisted therapy experience consolidated during the COVID lockdown.
