“Healing begins when you stop asking the broken mirror to tell you who you are…” Priscilla Shirer

The quiet presence of a horse gives us a safe space for healing and personal growth, helping in recovery and emotional well-being.

Horses can accurately mirror back to us our inner emotional world, and can zero in on emotions that may not have previously been consciously identified. The horse’s response helps individuals to acknowledge it, and assists to process through circumstances.

Not comfortable around a horse? Let us help you with that too!

15 Fascinating Facts About the Horse's Heart and Its Emotional Connection with Humans:

The heart of an average adult horse weighs about 4–5 kg — nearly 10 times heavier than a human heart.

A horse's resting heart rate is around 28–40 beats per minute, but it can rise up to 240 during stress or intense activity.

The horse's heart is incredibly powerful — it can pump over 60 liters of blood per minute during running.

Human emotions can affect a horse's heart rate. Studies show that horses "read" human moods and mirror them.

During calm interaction, the heart rates of the human and horse can synchronize — a phenomenon known as bioelectrical resonance.

Horses sense a person's presence even before physical contact — their heart reacts to energy changes nearby.

A horse's heart generates a strong electromagnetic field, capable of transmitting emotional signals to other horses and even people.

Horses have a highly developed parasympathetic system, allowing them to calm down quickly in a safe environment.

A handler’s anxiety or fear can trigger stress in the horse — even if no real threat is present.

During cuddling or quiet companionship, a horse’s heartbeat slows down — a clear sign of trust.

Young horses experience emotional “storms” more frequently — much like humans, their hearts and nervous systems are still developing.

Trauma can leave an "emotional imprint" on a horse's heartbeat, even long after physical recovery.

Horses have the ability for emotional healing — kind and caring human contact can stabilize their heartbeat.

The horse’s heart is often seen as a symbol of deep intuition — horses can "feel" intentions before a word is spoken.

Scientific studies confirm that the emotional bond between human and horse is not a myth — it's a real physiological interaction of hearts, which can even have healing effects.

Who can benefit from EAL?

I will be facilitating sessions for individuals and groups. Adults and children are welcome, children must have a parent or caregiver present during sessions.

Group sessions will be specifically announced when they become available. Organizations and Corporations will be able to request group sessions as well.

Individuals who are facing challenges related to PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, any personal struggles, narcissistic abuse, sexual abuse, cult/ritualistic abuse, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and others not mentioned here, would benefit from a journey to heal utilizing horses.

The focus of EAL coaching is growth, development and support to walk through and overcome challenges. If further counseling is required, I’ll be happy to refer you to someone who can support you in additional ways. If you’re already connected with a counsellor, psychiatrist or psychologist, EAL sessions may be the extra support you need to empower you in your healing journey.

I invite you to take a journey with Hoofprints of Hope Coaching Services.
