A warm wind from the dunes brushes your face as the session opens: horses shift their weight, noses curious, ears tuned to the human voice. The hour begins not on a saddle but on level ground—an intentional space where each animal’s calm presence becomes a mirror. Participants move slowly, following a facilitator’s cue, learning to read posture and approach; the horses return the attention with patient, unhurried responses.
