Discover the Magic of Horses!!
I signed up for all six days of Horse Medicine knowing that I wanted some healing but had no idea how impactful it would be.
Each day progressed a little bit more, allowing me to deepen my connection to the horses, to the Medicine and to myself. Gael, Marilyn, Sonya, Christine, and Tija offered the most supportive and joyful environment.
Being in the presence of these beautiful animals, being able to stay on the land with the horses and being engrossed in the experience I left feeling more connected to who I am, with so much excitement for my future.
I would recommend this to anyone who is wanting to deepen their connection to self, to mother nature and the dream of life.

I didn’t even know that I needed horse medicine until I was on the land. The horses led me on a journey of self-discovery and expansion. They taught me how to embody my leadership skills. The facilitators held an impeccable container for transformation and magic to happen.– Andrea
This was the most healing experience I’ve ever had. I feel free to be me and have been able to reclaim all the lost parts of me with the help of the horses and facilitators. The Air Fryer was the cherry on top of the weekend LOL.- Selina Shanaraquet
When you combine horse medicine with shamanism you will heal in ways you can’t imagine. It’s this connection to nature that we all deeply crave and know we want but don’t know how to do it. This experience is worth far, far, far more than you’re paying.

I took part in a one-day horse camp and found it profoundly uplifting. In a short period of time with the horses, I came to feel as grounded and comforted as I have ever felt.
I felt nurtured and cared for on multiple levels. To my surprise, I was able to slow down and be at peace with my personal journey. My mind, body, and soul regained a sense of strength and clarity for where I was and where I needed to be. My day with the horses was fun, eye-opening, mind-blowing, and heart-filled - an experience I wish everyone could enjoy. I have endless gratitude and love for the horses and team.

Horses Are Awesome!
I liked breathing with the horses. They made me feel normal.
- Patrick
I think horse camp is really nice. I like the people and I like the horses personalities. The horses always know what to tell you, even though they can be brutally straightforward. They don’t put up with any guff. Some people say you have to ride horses to have fun, but that’s not true.
- India Halber Thomson
I love the Horse Camp because the horses are so nice and wonderful to be with.
- Ellie
The people there are some of the best people you could ever meet. And the horses are even better. Better than any person. They just listen to you better than any person could. And you leave there feeling like everything is going to be ok.
- Rio Halber Thomson
I love horse camp. It’s really healing and you really connect to yourself. They’re really comforting. It’s like talking to somebody that will listen and actually give you advice in a way.

Horse Medicine Experiences
Horse and Human Experiential Connections
Horse Medicine Pathways offers experiential workshops bringing the natural gifts and sentience of horses together with people seeking to transcend life-challenges and increase their feelings of well-being.
Horses are natural teachers. They are sensitive to non-verbal communication and to human emotions. They help us to remember how to be grounded yet alert and how to shake off stress and come back to inner calm. They reflect back what they receive from us and hold a safe, non-judgmental space for mindfulness and healing.
Over millions of years, as prey animals, horses have evolved to be incredibly intuitive and masters at perceiving and interpreting energy. They are wise, compassionate and powerful teachers and through their behaviour they act as brilliant mirrors for us, demanding our authenticity and reminding us to stay in the moment. Through deep heart connection and reflection, a horse partner offers us the possibility of transformation.
Horses naturally bond and partner with human beings. They have been doing it for tens of thousands of years. It’s an honour to be able to do this medicine work with horses and to learn from their natural wisdom.
When we make connections with horses they increase our oxytocin levels (bonding), and lower our cortisol levels and blood pressure levels. Studies show that partnering with horses can reduce anxiety and depression.
Horse Medicine Pathways workshops are fun and wonderfully unpredictable. They provide unforeseen gifts and new understandings about our life journey. In addition to the benefits of working with horses we provide guided interactions with the natural environment. These nature activities bring us to a place of being in the present moment, fostering connection to each other through shared experiences and to the more-than-human world through sensory interaction. In that there is magic and mystery.
Horse Medicine Pathways workshops are offered by Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL©) Certified Practitioners. Nature based activities are offered by a Forest Therapy Guide certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs.
TESTIMONIALS
"The Horse Medicine Workshop was an experience I will never forget. The horses offered me a new way to release the pain I was holding onto. They are very intuitive animals that hold space for a deep healing. One of my biggest teachings was it is ok to receive help which has transformed my current life tremendously. The facilitators guided the experience in the most beneficial way to get the full potential of healing. Thank you to everyone involved" ❤️
Danielle,
"I feel so fortunate to have been able to experience this FEEL workshop with amazing horses, incredibly intuitive facilitators, and my fellow participants who were so open to sharing. Working with the horses was such a profound experience. From that first connection with them, I felt my heart open and felt seen. As I close my eyes now, I can still feel that connection. I can call on that feeling to remind me to come home to myself and to stay grounded. Many insights came up during the course and I left there more confident, more accepting of all my aspects. I have much gratitude for the wisdom of the facilitators who helped guide me and are deeply committed to doing this work, which shows. Horses truly are amazing animals and I wish that everyone could experience being with them in this capacity to really "feel" that connection. It's a great gift and I feel blessed to have experienced it." Tracyy

TESTIMONIALS
My experience with the horses and facilitators was deep and pure. The beautiful connection with the horses awakened a deeper sense of trust within. Warren
Three days experiencing connection in the most amazing ways with some incredibly wise and intelligent Horses has been a life changing event for me. The physical setting was like being in the middle of a magical forest. The horses knew exactly what I needed in order to awaken my innate healer. All I had to do was relax, breathe, and let them lead me through the healing process. By the end of the workshop, I felt like a newly born person physically, mentally and emotionally. I realized I had myself back and was looking forward to the future.
The facilitators of this program are extraordinary, so dedicated to the "process" and have extensive training and experience. I plan to do Horse Medicine Pathways again in the very near future. I love this type of healing work so much and hope all of you who read this will have the opportunity to experience if for yourselves. Mary Ann
