WHAT IS EQUUS COACHING?
Horses don’t judge, analyse, or interpret. They respond. And in that response, they show us what’s really happening inside.
​
A particularly powerful moment unfolded during a session in the round pen. My client and I sat together in silence on the ground. She had gone into a freeze state and could not name what she was feeling or explain what was happening internally. We stayed with it, breathing slowly, letting the moment unfold without pressure.
Then, without warning, the horse lifted its head and took off galloping around us. Full energy, full expression, circling, moving, showing something that had been silent only moments before. My client looked up at me, pointed to the horse, and said, “That. That is exactly what’s going on in my head.”
​
And that is Equus Coaching.
The horse picked up on her internal state, the pressure, the overwhelm, the chaos she couldn’t yet articulate. The horse made the invisible visible. She showed us what the client’s nervous system was doing in real time. The coaching process begins here: noticing the patterns, bringing awareness to what the body is communicating, and then supporting the client to understand, integrate, and choose new ways of being. The horse reflects the truth, not the story we tell, but the truth beneath it.
​
It’s simple, powerful, embodied work.
​
It helps people see themselves fully, gently, and honestly.
​
And it always begins with the relationship. The client, coach, and horse. All learning together in the same moment.
