Find Your Horse - Guided Experience
Team Development
Bring your team together for a different kind of experience in the Hunter Valley. Guided activities with our horses create opportunities to practise communication, explore how you work together and build connection away from everyday pressures. Suitable for workplace teams, small businesses and sporting groups. No riding or horse experience needed.
Women
Take a breath and make some space for yourself. Our horse guided experiences offer women time to slow down, connect and reflect in a peaceful outdoor setting. Whether you're navigating change, feeling stretched or simply wanting a little time out, you're welcome just as you are.
No riding or horse experience needed.
Families
Step away from busy routines and enjoy time together.Through grooming, gentle activities and shared moments outdoors, there's space to connect, practise working together and making memories. Come as a parent and child, siblings, grandparents or your own family crew -all activities are on the ground, with no horse experience needed.
NDIS
Our horse guided sessions support NDIS participants to practice communication, build confidence and develop everyday skills. Activities may include grooming, leading and simple obstacle challenges, tailored to each participant's goals and pace. Sessions are available individually or in small groups. These are ground based skill building experiences, not therapy and no horse experience is needed.
Why Work With Horses?
Working alongside a horse in our objectively driven programs helps people successfully develop personal and team skills such as communication, problem solving, negotiation and teamwork. Our unique approach of working with 600kg teachers makes it much easier to keep participants engaged, which in turn, leads to success when learning
something new!
How Does This Process Work?
When you understand why and how horses are aware of our every movement, it becomes more clear that equine-assisted learning programs offer a positive support system for success. Combining this connection with our objectively driven programs, provides an out of classroom experience that leaves lasting memories and lessons for many years to come.
What Is Equine Assisted Learning?
Equine Assisted Learning is an approach to human development that encourages individual and team growth. Participants engage in objectively driven exercises while working with horses without venturing into Equine Therapy. These skill building programs have proven to be a powerful, positive educational program for participants - it just might change your life!
How Our Programs Work
Developing skills to reach your full potential.
At Hunter Equine Connection, we believe that experiential learning is the best way to truly learn. For this reason, all of our skills development programs incorporate a hands-on approach with horses. This proven process of experiential learning is unique for each person, with self-awareness and reflection being the key to lasting results!

This experience made me build on my strengths and weaknesses as well as personal problems.
Allowing me to release so much stored emotion that I even cried!!
Weeks later I am now challenging myself to face a
lot of these problems in order to communicate
better with myself and others around me. Jean was
a beautiful instructor and I hope to return to this
beautiful place again soon.
Rebecca
The grounding work with Jean has helped me focus and calm myself not just for Diva but for me.
I would recommend anyone with trauma to try equine assisted learning at Hunter Equine Connection. Five stars for diva too she gives great hugs.
Kirsten
I thoroughly recommend Jean to anyone, she is a genuine and personable animal lover with such an obvious passion for her chosen path. It is very inspiring to watch.
