One Hour NDIS Equine Facilitated Support Session

Chum Creek Horse Rides offer Equine Facilitated Support Sessions which focuses on the use of the ‘horse’ as the therapist, rather than directly the human as the therapist. Each Equine Facilitated Support Session involves a 1 hour session with an Equestrian Support Handler there to guide and support the interaction between guests and a trusted quiet horse, on an enclosed arena and/or horse yard.

We strictly ensure a strong safe environment, as the number one priority.

The relationship between the guest and the horse is the therapy itself. This allows the guest to naturally be guided and supported at their own pace, meeting their individual needs.

Horses are honest, family oriented creatures as they live in herds and also suffer if isolated. Horses do not have expectations, preconceived ideas or perceptions of who you are.

Horses do not see abilities or disabilities, they accept you just as you are.

Horses interact with people without judgment or preconception. This perspective allows the opportunity for fun and self-review as it helps our guests with building confidence and self-esteem.

Please arrive 15 minutes early. Late arrivals may forfeit bookings.

NOTE: HELMETS PROVIDED. PLEASE WEAR LONG PANTS AND CLOSED-TOED SHOES. (NO SHORTS OR SANDALS PLEASE.)
