Equine Therapy for Personal Development
Equine Therapy for Personal Development
Join us for a unique personal development workshop where self-growth is combined with interaction with horses.
Everything is done on foot, with or without prior knowledge of horses.
This workshop takes place at Écurie du Ru Saint Martin, an authentic and peaceful location in Lamorlaye, just 4 km south of Chantilly.
Step into a world where the horse becomes a mirror of your own being, helping you discover new facets of yourself.
Three themes will be addressed depending on the chosen day: Self-Knowledge, Emotional Management, and Psychological Health at Work.
New dates coming soon

Horse Interaction Safety Rules:
The horse is a prey animal with flight instincts, so safety rules must be respected. These rules are simple and accessible to all. The horse lives in a sensory world different from ours. We must take this into account.
This includes
- Moderate your gestures and words near the horse
- If passing behind the horse’s hindquarters (where the horse may not see you), keep verbal and physical contact with the horse
- Always keep the horse in your field of vision, while also being aware of the environment and any potential disturbances
- If the horse gets scared or startled, move towards its head.
- If the horse panics, allow it to flee safely and step aside
- The instructor will guide you and provide safety instructions when necessary
