• Do you want to come on a journey with a horse and discover who you truly are?
  • To find your wildness that is longing to be born?
  • To learn the dance of your emotions so that you can move with ease from sadness to joy and learn to accept what is?
  • Are you wanting to learn how to be and live in your body; to become aware of all that your body can teach you through the way of the horse?
  • Do you find yourself unable to say no. The horse can teach you how to form boundaries in your life.
  • Are you struggling in your relationship to your own horse and are needing to learn how to let go of the reins and listen to the guidance from your horse?
The process of finding enlightenment and peace through interaction with horses is not a modern concept, indeed it is as ancient as man’s early attempts to tame wild horses, but what has evolved in more recent times is a much deeper understanding of horse and human psychology and how the two can link.

Combining her skills as a psychotherapist and a horsewoman with a deep connection to nature and a belief in our spiritual selves, Miranda Carey has developed a particular form of Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP). Working with individuals and groups, the horses are a catalyst for change and through their wisdom we can embark on a journey of self-discovery towards love and self-worth.

Once we understand ourselves, we can throw off the shackles of old protective habits, experience the healing dance with our emotions and be free to love ourselves and others.

Miranda’s is a holistic approach: it is somatic (of the body), systemic (of the family) and shamanic (of the spirit).

To gain true insight through listening to the horses, people must first learn to live in the present and tune in to their bodies – like the horses do. There must be a somatic (bodily) connection to the mind.

Systemic is a reference to Family Systemic Work, in which Miranda is also skilled. Perhaps the best way to describe it is through a quote from Bert Helliger, the founder of this approach. He said: “Only when the connection to the family is recognised, and the responsibilities have been made clear and divided up, does the individual feel free of burden. He or she can go their own way without being burdened and tied down by the past.”

The shamanic aspect of Miranda's EFP refers to her belief in an inter-relationship between all creatures, including humans; a subconscious awareness and understanding that animals have retained, but some humans appear to have 'lost'. With the help of Miranda and the horses, people can learn to 'click' back into nature - to be grounded, to find their wildness once again, to begin to heal themselves, and to rejoice in the journey of their soul.
