Tap into the power of Belvoir’s Equine Human Development Programs
The Power of the Horse
At Belvoir the horse, with its heightened intuitive intelligence, is the central teacher and head our family of all human growth programs. This powerful animal has a stunning capacity to mirror human emotions and facilitate human healing.
Belvoir’s Equine Experiential Learning program is just that, you learn by doing. The program incorporates Drs. Alan Hamilton’s scientifically proven Neuro Equine Model and the heart-based approach developed by the Institute of HeartMath.
“I had the opportunity to conduct several equine clinics at Belvoir Estate Farm.
Ute Lawrence and Stan Fisher have created an equine wonderland. They have built spectacular equestrian facilities, peopled with wonderful staff and wonderful horses, in one of the most unique and beautiful natural settings one could imagine. Belvoir Estate Farm has managed to embrace a beautiful sense of nature conservancy, maintaining a wonderful environment full of spectacular flora and fauna. This is a kind of wildlife sanctuary but also offers an opportunity for humans to save horses and for horses to save humans. We are all blessed to have Belvoir Estates Farm as a unique regional, national, and international centre of excellence for equestrian pursuits.”

THE HEALING POWER OF HORSES
Often times, we only need to be in a horses presence to feel a sense of wellness and peace. In fact, research shows that people experience many physiological benefits while interacting with horses, including lowered blood pressure and heart rate, increased levels of beta-endorphins (neurotransmitters that serve as pain suppressors), decreased stress levels, reduced feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, improved social functioning; and increased feelings of empowerment, trust, patience and self-efficacy.”

Please note that all EFL programs are strictly ground work, no riding. No horse experience necessary.

“Horses do not see us as our collective stories but simply as we are standing in front of them. The horse brings its uncanny ability to peel our egos back, to strip the layers away like an onion, until we find ourselves awkwardly naked and vulnerable. But the horse also shows us the joy that comes from living with the bare truth of ourselves. What a gift that is.”
Dr. Allan Hamilton, author Zen Mind Zen Horse… The Science and Spirituality of Working with Horses
