Is your "to-do" list overwhelming and your head too full with life's challenges?

Would you welcome the chance to take some time for yourself to de-stress and rebalance?

Join the Spiritus Equis team at Downswood Care Farm to experience
the grounding, calming and inspiring power of interacting with horses
Horses are highly sensitive animals that respond to human body language and emotions and can help us become more aware of our feelings, stress levels and communication. These one-off 90-minute group session are specially designed to create a pocket of respite from life's daily demands. The gentle, guided interactions you have with our horses, surrounded by nature, will help you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.
* No horse-riding is involved, and no previous experience with horses is necessary.
