​The Herd Dynamic means horses understand 3 systemic orders:
  1. Belonging
  2. Social order
  3. Equilibrium
They cannot survive without all of these.

Horses are  energy and absolute truth, making them the ideal teachers and healers. 

They have an uncanny ability to reflect the client's true emotions and  feelings. 

​Powerful work for PTSD, anxiety, bullying, emotional overwhelm, or if you simply need a break away from the every day.

Equine Assisted Learning 

Equine experiential learning workshops and private sessions are
available.
Put simply, experiential learning is learning by doing. It not only
teaches skills, but also promotes reflection and experimentation.
During a session, the horse acts as a partner, to aid in
self-discovery and self-improvement. Spending time with these
generous, compassionate, and sentient animals can help if you
are feeling stuck or emotionally unsatisfied, and can help
develop a deeper personal emotional
connection to self.

Holistic Counselling

​When trauma gets trapped in our bodies Our emotions react with our cells and our tissues. Everything that is alive contains energy and this energy contains information.

​How would it be to feel truly safe? 

When we re-establish our bodies as safe and we breathe correctly, deeply and slowly, we become one with ourselves. We then have the ability to reflect rather then react.

​Let's build a new pathway.

Be more than your story.

Horsemanship 
​& Somatic Riding 

 Traditionally, riding has been taught in the saddle with little to no focus on groundwork. We believe that you simply cannot have one without the other. To ride the horse without building relationship and connection on the ground denies the opportunity to truly bond with your horse and therefore experience a partnership that far surpasses that of simply riding.  

We must always remember that these beautiful sentient (able to percive/feel things) beings are deserving of our respect and compasssion. We strive to have each experience mutually beneficial, knowing that the horse does not exist to serve us but allows us the privilege to work with them.  

The groundwork component may explore but is not limited to:
  • Understanding the herd dynamic
  • Learning to see from the horse’s perspective
  • Non-verbal communication
  • Round pen and arena work
  • Liberty work
  • Dancing with your equine partner
  • Learning about yourself

Groundwork is far more than meets the eye, it is the foundation on which we begin riding, that which must be built if we are to earn the right to ask for anything from our horses in the saddle. In order to achieve this, sessions will vary for each person and will often have elements of holistic counselling, mindfulness, energy work, body awareness, trust and feel.

​Once this ability to simply BE and connect can be achieved, a whole new world around horses can be explored. When we are truly present and aware of ourselves, we need little more than softness and our breath to develop a deep and magical connection –​this we call
​Somatic Riding.

I worked in the field of Equine Therapy for 7 years and as a counsellor myself am very particular on who I would
choose for my own therapy to help me through the difficult transitions of life where extra support is needed.
Gale is definitely an excellent counsellor and was able to pinpoint and deal with my core issue and personality
type with gentle care and grace, I can highly recommend Gale and her wonderful equine team for any kind
of emotional therapy. She is the real deal.

We found 'family' at Gale's, the care, support and love we have received has been the most amazing therapy and friendship
for not only my sons by for us as parents as well.  Raising 2 little boys, aged 4 and 8 who both have Becker Muscular Dystrophy
and Autism, is not easy, its hard for them to find a path in life as they are physically not able to achieve most things their
peers can, but they are at home at Gale's, with her encouragement and support they can achieve anything. My youngest
on his 1st visit was terrified of horses, now he happily rides Avatar, (Gales Clydesdale) all due to Gales experience,
patience and support.  My oldest lacked confidence, so was very timid, but Gale has supported and guided him, he loves to
now ride bareback, and to bear hug Ella and Scotty (miniature horses), but most of all its put him at peace. 
​I would highly recommend Gale's to anyone, our life is forever changed, its our happy place. Xo.

If you have a horse lover in your family, particularly a very young one or someone who hasn't been on a horse for many years but
would love to get back in the saddle in a safe and calm environment, I would definitely recommend giving Gale a call. Gale has gone out of
her way to organise special experiences for the horse lovers in my family - once for my daughter's 4th birthday and one for my mother in law's
birthday.  Gale and her team adore their animals and it's evident in how calm and happy the horses are. The property is close to our home so
super convenient, yet feels like a world away with beautiful open spaces, creeks and dams all around.

  Abigail hangs out each week to see Gale and the team. She feels like she belongs
and it so important for kids of today to feel they belong in more
places than one. Amazing facility and the best guidance you can ask for.
