Why Choose Us?

In the enchanting realm where Equine Assisted Therapy, Eco-Therapy, Mindfulness, and Somatic practices converge, we discover the transformative power of consensual, interdependent growth and connection. This holistic integration creates a sacred space where individuals embark on a profound journey of healing, self-discovery, and rewilding.

As participants engage with horses in Nature, nature, and their own inner landscapes, they are guided by the wisdom of the Holistic Herd,  as Linda Kohanov beautifully encapsulates the essence of this transformative journey,  "Horses help us access our authentic selves, develop emotional intelligence, and cultivate the courage to live and lead with greater authenticity and compassion."

Through this synergistic blend, individuals has the opportunity to shed layers of conditioning, awaken their senses, and deepen their self-awareness. To forge authentic connections, both with themselves and the natural world, recognizing the interconnectedness that binds all living beings. 

By integrating Equine Assisted Therapy, Eco-Therapy, Mindfulness, and Somatic practices, we create a harmonious symphony that invites individuals to reclaim their authentic selves, nurture healthy relationships, and become stewards of the Earth.

Let us embark on this transformative journey, hand in hand with horses, nature, and our fellow travelers. 

May this fusion of modalities continue to guide us towards a more compassionate, interconnected, and balanced existence, where the magic of consensual, interdependent growth and connection is nurtured and celebrated.

In the words of Linda Kohanov, "In the presence of horses, we find the courage to step into a new story, one of authentic power, collaboration, and connection. Together, we can create a world where healing, growth, and interdependence flourish."

It is really such a treat to be able to interact with and ride and learn about horses in such a natural setting. Cornelia loves her herd and it shows – the horses are happy and a pleasure to connect with, and I have so much respect for the natural , bitless approach she uses with them. If you’re Looking to Connect with raw and beautiful South African nature while learning on horseback, with wonderful people, this is for you. A rare gem. I have not encountered another horseback experience quite like it...

The experience for myself and my two daughters have been one of complete and utter awe. We are intrinsically captivated by the fact that spending time with horses, in a respectful way, can reflect to you how you navigate through your own emotional landscape. Cornelia is such a humble and connected human being, her loving intention filters into every aspect of working with the horses. I wish that everyone could experience the depth of emotional connection that is on offer through working in this way.
