Horsensei

Horsensei Equine-Assisted Learning and Therapy (HEALTh) is a partnership of humans and horses that teach interpersonal communication to individuals and families and to medical, corporate, and community groups.

Horsensei, pronounced "horse sen-say," is a triple entendre—three meanings that all fit together. First, the word holds the idea of horse sense, our common term for common sense. Sensei means teacher in Japanese. In equine experiential learning, the horse sensei is both the horse as a teacher of humans and the human who teaches with horses.

Horsensei equine experiential learning programs draw on the unique size, sensitivity, and social dynamics of horses to help humans master basic life skills and successful interpersonal behaviors. Our custom-designed programs let you choose objectives ranging from recreation to deep psychospiritual transformation. Horses have a way of effecting both at once.
