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.
