TAI CHI WITH HORSES

Tai chi with horses is a new and exciting way to learn about body awareness.

Out in a safe environment with the horses we allow them to demonstrate self awareness at its finest.

These animals are constantly living in the present moment, moving around in their herd. They often have to move out of the way of one another at a moments notice. They do this with ease and grace on different terrains due to their own self awareness.

As we learn the steps and ways of tai chi we also allow the horses to teach and demonstrate what self awareness can do for us.

It is also a great way of connecting with ones core which is key when learning to ride a horse.

However, you do not need to be a rider or have any desire to ride to take part in tai chi for horses. This is suitable for anyone!

Taught by Paul Tucker

LADIES MORNINGS

Held once a fortnight in the mornings (when the kiddies are at school/ playgroup!)

These mornings are designed for ladies looking to do something a bit different and meet some like minded people.

Working with horses (not riding) we will observe and work with the horses allowing them to give us insights into our own lives in areas which perhaps need a bit of attention.

Examples of this could be creating time for you, knowing how to say ‘no’ in a way that everyone benefits from, most of all you, self esteem, re-discovering who you are or feel you want to be!, boundaries how to set them and receive them from others and many many more. The idea is to create a group that provides support for each other and gives you a chance to socialise in a non judgemental, fun environment surrounded by horses!!

The only thing you need to be able to come on this is a love of horses!! (no previous experience necessary)

Regular commitment is needed. Held on Wednesday mornings, only held during term times. Please phone for dates.
