Hi, I’m Bethany and I’m the founder of Healing with Horses UK!
I started my journey of creating this place as soon as I discovered that I could combine my two passions of my life; working with horses and helping humans.
I’m a registered social worker and counsellor, I have over 10 years of experience in the helping profession. I have a passion to see people grow and develop into discovering themselves.
I’ve known horses have so much to offer us as humans, even since I was a child. I feel honoured to be able to welcome people into this healing space, where we can encounter the powerful presence of the horse together.
I travelled to Australia to train at the Equine Psychotherapy Institute, which opened my eyes and profoundly moved me. I am so proud that I got to train in an approach to equine assisted therapy which values kind horsepersonship, which has helped me to develop my approach which is considerate of the horses feelings. I am also proud to say I am the first EPI model practitioner in the UK.
I really do consider it a great honour to be considered to help you through your journey – I hope we can meet soon.
Meet Dixie
Dixie is a sweet natured mare who loves meeting new people. She has such a kind and calm presence and loves to lounge around for most of her day. We love her fun and cheeky side. Dixie will prove anybody who believes horses don’t have a personality wrong!
Meet Shiloh
Shiloh came to us here after being rescued from a fair ground where the conditions were so poor her rescuer , having not really the space back home, took her on anyway to make sure she had a better life. Luckily for Shiloh she’s found her happy forever home. Shiloh came here not having a name so Bethany named her Shiloh which means “Place of Peace”, to reflect how Shiloh can know she will always be well treated for the rest of her life.
Meet Elvis
Elvis is a sweet natured gelding, who has recently joined the therapy herd. Elvis is a huge 16.1 hands high, he also has a big heart. Elvis came from a lovely home who wanted to make sure he would have a forever home where he could be well cared for. He recently had to grieve for a few field friends of his, so he’s been so happy to have Dixie and Shiloh to care for him, and he’s caring for them too.
