“The Women’s Wellbeing Horse Wisdom Retreat was a much-needed opportunity to escape from the demands of everyday life. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped by the tranquillity and beauty of the surrounds which provided the perfect back drop and both complemented and enhanced the weekend’s activities. Jackie and Anne were incredibly warm and welcoming, and made me feel instantly at home. ‘Glamping’ was a lot of fun! The program was challenging, thought provoking and rewarding in equal measures – an opportunity to reflect on stress triggers and develop skills that can be applied in ‘the real world’. As a horse lover, the interaction with the equine herd and getting to know the unique personalities and dynamics within it was a highlight.
I would highly recommend a Women’s Wellbeing Retreat for anyone interested in taking time out for themselves, stepping outside their comfort zone and better understanding their place in the world.”

“I really loved the uniqueness of the experience facilitated by Jackie with the horses (for someone that has had very little contact with horses). The session was really interesting, powerful and grounding and I became more self aware, as well as learning about horses. The equine technique or way is a really beautiful, gentle and powerful way to work with others and gain self awareness and I found it fascinating and would like to do more. Jackie is a beautiful, gentle and reassuring facilitator and I felt completely held and supported by her the whole time, despite having some anxiety with some of the horses. The session flowed gracefully and naturally and I felt totally confident in Jackie’s care. Her experience in this work and with horse was apparent. I would thoroughly recommend working with Jackie and horses to anyone wishing to do some healing, gain self awareness or become grounded or connected in a beautiful and powerful way involving horses. Truly unique experience, thanks Jackie.”

“I did really enjoy the day, during my career in retail operations in the UK I have seen and been on many management development courses but this way of learning about understanding ourselves through equine assistance has surely got to be the best way of upskilling employees and individuals.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Women’s Retreat. I left feeling connected, grounded and in love with life. Jackie and Ann are fantastic facilitators, full of wisdom, positive support and teaching skills. They are excellent communicators which meant they always knew how we were feeling and what we wanted to do at any time. It was wonderful to work with the horses and feel that connection with them. Having the whole weekend meant there was time to develop a relationship with a horse which was so meaningful and brought insight, new depth and a feeling of specialness to the experience. I highly recommend the Retreat and am looking forward to coming back next year!”

“The equine assisted leadership workshop provided our leaders with a truly unique, powerful and immersive experience.
Jackie was able to tailor the session to our business by incorporating our Company Values and Leadership Behaviours into the activities and learning outcomes, which added valuable context and ongoing relevance for our learners.
Leaders will be able to draw on these learnings throughout their careers.”
