Home Wood in Bollier in the Mary Valley
Here we support clients of all ages in addressing therapeutic goals, should clients wish to engage with nature then we offer a peaceful location where we work alongside nature and horses who are our assistants, co-facilitators, and teachers in this process.
This could be something as simple as a walk and talk in our forest or by our dam or a little more interaction by building an obstacle course which could be a projection of worries or a situation and then ask the client to lead a horse around it, to assist the client in gaining a better understanding of the concerns.
