Transformative Equine-Assisted Experiences:
Mane Moments: Horse Wisdom for Teen Girls
As the year unfolds, teens face challenges and opportunities that shape their personal growth. Mane Moments offers a unique, equine-assisted program designed to help teen girls in Brisbane, Ipswich, and surrounding areas prepare for the year ahead with tools to develop confidence, self-love, healthy boundaries, and gratitude.
Why Horses?
Horses are exceptional partners in personal growth. Living entirely in the moment, they teach presence, self-awareness, and communication. Horses respond authentically to human emotions, mirroring behaviours and offering immediate feedback.
This makes them ideal for equine-assisted therapy & equine-assisted learning, etc., programs like Mane Moments. Unlike traditional therapeutic methods, horses create real-time learning experiences that deepen teens’ understanding of themselves and their interpersonal relationships.
