Horses help facilitate an understanding of ourselves in a parenting role by accepting, challenging, and teaching us about our own interactive selves. The often unexpected responses of different Equine personalities allow insight and learning about how individuals handle the down and dirty job of becoming the best parent they can be. Exercises are designed to promote healthy boundaries, communication, trust of self and others, self awareness, and putting behavior into action. Level 1 begins with an introduction and practice of each skill through equine assisted activities. Level 2 builds upon the skills learned and practiced in Level 1 while continuing to build a relationship with the horse that mirrors a healthy parent-child relationship, utilizing the Natural Lifemanship modality. Level 3 builds upon the relationship formed in Level 2 with more advanced skill and trust building with an optional riding component.
