We can attest to the benefits of spending time with the minis. When I need a quick reset in the middle of a stressful day, a few minutes in with the minis, just sharing space and following their lead on interactions, reestablishes a sense of calm and wellbeing.

Need some mini time? We offer Mini Herd Meditations and Mindful Mini Moments experiences. All sessions facilitated by a licensed mental health practitioner.

The teens reported feeling less anxious, sad and lonely and more calm after interacting with the equines.

🐴 Happy International Equine-Assisted Services Day!

Every July 29th, we celebrate the humans, horses, practitioners, and communities that make this work possible, and honor the legacy of Lis Hartel, who overcame polio to win two Olympic silver medals in dressage, becoming the first woman to medal in the sport at that level.

EAS work isn't about one final medal moment. Instead, it's about the next step, the next breakthrough, the next small win that builds into something bigger. Horses help us generously, each step of the way, just as they did with Lis. That's the heart of what we do every day at The HERD Institute.

Today we celebrate every horse, every practitioner, and every person who shows up for others.

💚 We'd love to hear about the impact Equine-Assisted Services have had in your life! Tell us in the comments ⬇️

Rest is not optional. Our mini meditations and upcoming compassion fatigue and burnout workshop provide opportunities to experience the power of rest and space to just be.

Horses have a remarkable way of teaching us things we often can't learn through words alone.⁠
⁠
They invite us to slow down, become more aware, build trust, respect boundaries, and meet ourselves—and others—with greater authenticity. Their feedback is immediate, honest, and free of judgment, creating space for meaningful reflection and lasting growth.⁠
⁠
Whether you're a therapist, coach, educator, equine professional, or someone passionate about helping others, our SEEN Through Horses Workshops offer the opportunity to experience these lessons firsthand while learning the ARCH story-based facilitation framework.⁠
⁠
Join us at one of our upcoming workshops in Utah, North Carolina, or Minnesota, and discover what becomes possible when learning happens alongside horses.⁠

Why attend a mini herd meditation?

Participants say they appreciate time where they are able to just be. This is the most common feedback we get. There is no pressure to do anything, just space to be with our miniature horses and enjoy the benefits of nature. It is an invitation to slow down and unplug.

Mini herd meditations are offered throughout the year and can also be custom scheduled for groups of at least 4.

What a great weekend at the 10th anniversary conference for The HERD Institute! One of the highlights was seeing a demo of how different models can be integrated with Lynn Thomas from ARCH Arenas for Change and Dr. Veronica Lac from the HERD
