Understanding how the brain processes emotions is a key part of our Stable Relationships programme. When a horse is faced by threat their automatic response is red zone - fight/flight/freeze. But humans can develop strategies to keep us in the calm blue zone.

A lot of our work is based on these teachings and the horses help us make the teachings really clear, so they can be transferred into school environments to help children maximise their learning potential.
Great read about the importance of learning about the brain and how it can help teachers to better understand how to help their students.

One of our students did this picture a few weeks ago. It is him experiencing feeling calm, on Dolly the horse. I think it is a great picture!

A lot of our work involves teaching these ideas to children, young people and their staff with the experiential help of the amazing horses.
"Instead of waiting until a child is hiding under a table and then trying to talk them through breathing exercises, Morris suggests taking a preventative approach. She recommends teaching children about how their brains work and then creating areas within your classroom where children can go to self-regulate."

The findings build on previous research which suggested horses cou...

We got some happy feedback today...
Sendco: 'The programme was embraced by the student from the outset and the benefits were tangible from the first session'.
Parent: 'The equine programme had a massive influence on his empathy, social skills and controlling behaviours. I don't know where we would be without this intervention'.
