Horses Assisting You (HAY)

Why Horses? 

Your experiences with the horses mirror everyday life. Horses always give humans immediate, non-judgmental, and unbiased feedback. They provide endless opportunities for you to learn more about yourself. 

Nexus HAY can assist people of all ages and abilities with: 

• Depression, stress and anxiety, 
• Anger issues, 
• Grief and loss, 
• Self-esteem, 
• Living with a disability, 
• Addiction and substance misuse, 
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, 
• Family Violence and conflict, 
• Relationships and parenting, 
• Autism and behavioural issues, 
• Leadership and professional development, 
• Coping with difficult life stages or events such as adolescence, the birth of a child, unemployment, and chronic illness, or 
• Developing personal boundaries, interpersonal communication and problem solving.  

• Code of Ethics: EAGALA was founded in 1999 in the USA, and all Horses Helping Humans professionals are qualified to deliver the program. EAGALA provides us with an International Code of Ethics to adhere to and practice under. 
• Team Approach: The sessions involve a Mental Health Professional, an Equine Specialist and the Horses. 
• Solution Focused: The program allows individuals or groups to find the best solutions for themselves, learning through experiences. 
• Focus on the Ground: There is no riding involved and no previous horse experience is necessary. 

What to expect

You will be able to experiment, problem solve, take risks, try new ways, and find solutions that work best for you, either individually or in a group.

There is no riding involved, no previous horse experience is necessary, and we do not teach horsemanship skills (the horses are free in the paddock). 

At the end of each activity you will have time to reflect and talk about what happened.
