Our mission statement: "Awareness with Horses offers a range of professionally facilitated equine assisted interventions which offer therapeutic and transformative opportunities through awareness and engagement with horses. Our aim is to support well-being and growth, in order to develop potential and skills which transfer forwards into peoples everyday lives.”

Please note we do not offer horse riding, all our equine assisted interventions happen with ones feet firmly on the ground.

Learn how to be with Horses in away which is good for you and good for the horse:
• Work experientially around how to connect with horses naturally in nature on Dartmoor
• Experience the basics of what “Horse Whispering" is through horse assisted mindfulness and presencing

Work experientially with horses to help with well being, mental health and personal development including:
• Building calmness and self awareness
• Becoming more present, mindful and embodied
• Reducing anxiety and stress
• Developing resilience and self care
• Improving self confident
• Forming more authentic relationships with self and others
• Building healthier boundaries
• Developing co-creative leadership skills.

"Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn't make any sense."
Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks

Our Location
Awareness with Horses is based in a beautiful natural peaceful location on the edge of Dartmoor, less than 10 minutes from Ashburton and 4 minutes from Buckland in the Moor. Our premises comprise of stables and six acres of fields surrounded by mixed deciduous woodland. This gives our clients the opportunity to engage with horses in natural surroundings, in a quiet, private, safe, undisturbed space.

As well as being on a beautiful part of Dartmoor we are also really easy to get to, being just under 10 minutes from the A38 dual carriageway. From Exeter/Newton Abbot direction: take the Ashburton Linhay Turn off. Or from Plymouth/Totnes take the Peartree turn off.
