Beliefs about who we are and what we have to do to meet demands and deal with distractions can keep us both stuck and overwhelmed in habitual patterns. These patterns block our attunement, aliveness and rarely give us time to renew and recover.

Horses on the other hand, are always grounded and always present. The in-hand skills and body-based attunement practices we teach help us both understand how horses operate and reveal places where we feel unsteady — in real time. Their clear, non-judgmental responses help us liberate energy to show up with more choices about how we spend our energy.

We impact participants’ quality of life as well as their relationships with others — from the ground up. TEE is a multi-component curriculum. We teach sound horsemanship skills, body-based practices and offer an engaging discussion we call Emotional Agility that offers tools to handle difficult emotions and triggers. Skills that include:

●      faster downshift from stress response

●      better boundary-setting and communication

●      increased tolerance for discomfort without escalation

●      improved attention/presence under pressure

●      more repair after conflict

●      stronger “I can handle this” internal narrative
