EQUINE HEALING ENCOUNTERS & WORKSHOPS
"Horses are like magnets for humans. People of all ages are drawn to the horse because of their beauty, grace, power, majestic stature and the mystery of their noble being. It’s been that way throughout recorded history. In modern times, it has been clinically documented that just being around horses changes the brain wave patterns of humans, lowers blood pressure and reduces stress. We calm down and become more centred and focused in the present moment when we are around horses.
We are transformed in a very positive way when in the presence of horses. It is no wonder that the beneficial effects of positive and appropriate interaction with horses should prove extremely beneficial and life enriching to grownups and children alike."
Franklin Levinson
CONNEXION WITH HORSES WORKSHOPS
Feeling Nervous Around Horses?
Are horses making you feel anxious or uncomfortable?
It’s completely natural to feel this way, especially given their size and believed unpredictability.
As prey animals, horses can react quickly, and their instinctual nature has helped them survive for over 50 million years.
​
But here’s the good news: horses also have an incredible ability to calm and ground us once we have greater appreciation of their true nature. Overcoming fear starts with understanding these majestic creatures and learning how to read their behaviors and physical cues.
​
That’s what our "Connexion with Horses" workshops are all about. We offer both half-day and full-day workshops designed to help you get to know horses up close and personal.
Through these sessions, you’ll gain a better understanding of their behaviours and build confidence in interacting with them.
​
By the end of the workshop, you could discover that your fear has diminished and your confidence has grown.
​
Join us and discover how horses can be a source of healing and inspiration.
HEART TO HEART HORSE MEDICINE
Awakenings through the Wisdom of Horse
Did you grow up feeling shy, spending time in your own company, or finding it hard to communicate your feelings?
Have life experiences encouraged you to keep to yourself?
Perhaps you struggle with low self-confidence, constantly questioning your decisions, or allow others to make choices that impact your life.
Do you sometimes feel your contribution to the world is of little importance?
​
You are not alone in these feelings.
Imagine having a safe, non-judgmental space to share your thoughts and be truly heard.
Wouldn't that be incredible?
​
This is where an equine encounter can create change in ways that other approaches may not. Horses have an extraordinary ability to unlock parts of ourselves that we find difficult to access. They show us, in gentle and non-judgmental ways, what we need to know to live more confidently and assertively.
​
What can we do for you?
-
Guide you to actively listen to your inner wisdom, transforming your current life experiences.
-
Help you discover the part of yourself that brings emotional healing and peace.
-
Gain deeper insights into your personal reactions and struggles.
-
Reconnect you with your inner power, self-worth, and the beautiful individual you truly are!
​
These are NON-RIDING experiences, offering you a safe space for self-discovery and reflection, surrounded by the healing energy of nature.
​
Through these heart-to-heart connections with horses, you'll discover that life can be filled with wonder, and you'll awaken to the realization that all things are possible. Horses help you step outside the limitations of self-doubt and restriction, teaching you to recognize the signs of self-sabotage and begin a path toward personal freedom.
​
Sounds remarkable? It truly is. Magic happens in this safe haven, where you are welcomed, accepted, and free to express who you really are.
​
This is our intention for you.
WHY ARE HORSES SUCH GOOD THERAPY?
​Horses are prey animals and possess a natural ability to utilise all of their senses to evaluate and appraise their environment and surroundings for their continued survival and ultimate well being.
Their highly attuned abilities of perception and keen sensitivity can reflect the human individual’s state of being, thereby presenting us with a greater ability to become aware of what we need to observe in our thoughts, emotions and behaviours in order to begin the healing journey.
Further, a horse’s heart has the ability to affect the human heart in various positive and emotional ways. They transmit subtle signals that encourage us, support us and provide us with the motivation to move forward to our own positive transformation.
They respond to us as the unique individuals that we are, and recognise us at our deepest level and accepting us without prejudice. When we interact with horses, we often experience a moving as well as empowering connection and resonance.
Interaction with these magnificent spiritual beings can more often than not initiate personal expansion, growth and ultimately empowerment; reawakening our forgotten or unrealised capabilities.
And they do this naturally and without judgement!

HORSE WHISPERS LIFE TRANSFORMATION
Personal Skills for Life-Changing Experiences through Horse Medicine
This is your time.
Take a deep breath, let it fill your being, and allow your body and mind to relax. Leave your worries, anxieties, and concerns at the gate, and give yourself a moment to rediscover the joy of living in the present, all in the company of some extraordinary and wise spiritual beings—our horses.
​
Horses have an incredible capacity to capture your imagination, drawing you into a space where inspiration and healing happen naturally. They invite you to move beyond the intellectual understanding of them as physical beings and guide you into a journey of discovery from their perspective. Horses can affect us deeply in positive ways.
​
It's been shown that horses often have a "coherent" heart rate pattern, which is linked to feelings of well-being, calm, and joy. This might explain why we often feel better when we're near them—it's their gift of positive emotional energy.
​
What will you experience?
-
A deeper understanding of yourself and your reactions to life.
-
A connection to the world of energy and spirit.
-
Rediscovering the magic of truly listening, interacting, and feeling—moving beyond mere observation.
-
Finding inner peace while connecting with something greater than yourself.
-
Engaging in an innovative, fun, and unique approach to personal growth and empowerment.
​
This workshop offers a chance to develop trust in yourself, and with the guidance of our horses, embark on a healing journey that reshapes how you think of yourself and how you present yourself to the world.
​
By tuning into the wisdom horses share, you'll begin walking a path towards greater optimism, inner strength, and personal fulfillment.

“A horse will reflect exactly what you need to see about yourself.
Are you brave enough to ask?
Are you strong enough to listen?
Are you humble enough to learn?”

MARY - "I saw the 'Introduction to Connection with Horses' course advertised and I was really drawn to it.
I wasn't sure what I was going to get out of it if anything, I just knew I needed to be there.
Its hard to put into words what I received from being with these amazing animals but I know it was transforming on many levels, their energy, their ability to know what you are thinking and feeling.
I know that everyone will get their own experience from this day but I can tell you that on some level you will leave there at the end of the day a different person."
CAROL - "What an amazing day at Maggie's Farm Sanctuary.
The care, understanding and compassion Virginia has for animals is truly wonderful.
Virginia has shown me how to understand, interpret and respect their body language which in itself is such an eye opener. The love that emits from these beautiful horses truly goes right to your heart. I left feeling uplifted and very calm.
Thank you Virginia and Phil for another day I won't forget."
ALISON - “My time at Maggie's Farm was truly magical...
Virginia, Phil and their beautiful animal family made me feel so welcome. After an intimate chat over a cup of tea I was feeling well at home. Virginia created a safe place for me to be myself and talk about the different things I was experiencing in my life. When it was time to visit the horses I was a little hesitant but that soon changed once they welcomed me into their herd. I have seen and read information about equine assisted therapies, but to experience it first hand was something else!!!
I came away from the day with clarity and direction. The horses invited me to take a really close look at myself...warts and all. Somehow it went down a lot easier when it came from their equine hearts. I know this day was significant for my own personal journey and spiritual growth and I look forward to learning and experiencing even more with Virginia.
Thank you so much."
