"I have worked with children for over 20 yrs and I have never seen anything like it. The children communicated and shared their feelings, worked together and put their friend before themselves within the first hour." - Mari
Horse Whispering Clinic for Kids:
We bring out your child’s highest potential by teaching problem-solving, life skills and natural ways of creating kinship with self, others, horses, and farm animals. All animals are chosen for their gentle personalities & temperaments. Your child's safety and well-being are our top priority. No prior equine experience required.
Why Horses?
The horses, such powerful animals, yet so sensitive, work as an energetic mirror - instinctively reading body language and revealing one's truest emotions and needs. Because they behave similar to humans in their social and responsive behavior it is easy for the child/adult to establish a connection with the horse.
These techniques are used in Horse Whisper Clinics, Horse Therapy and in EAL.
What to expect in a clinic:
The children work closely with one another in addition to one or more horses to reveal strengths, challenges, and heart's desire. No previous horse experience is necessary. All activities are non-riding and take place on the ground.
Specially designed non riding activities allow participants to deepen awareness of personal issues, core feelings and areas of bodily tension that inhibit their ability to reach their true potential. The horses and Karin teach each child how to make powerful choices based on awareness instead of habitual patterns.
The farm, a kind of a sanctuary with all the farm animals, the nature, the calming energy and its beautiful surroundings is a part of the deeper experience. Karin, like the horse, is present as a friend with special training who witnesses and assists as the group discover their strengths and find strategies to reinvent their future.
Our training:
