New Program: Horses Helping Humans™
Wild Rose Equestrian has long provided Equine Assisted Learning programs for both adults and children. We're now thrilled to expand our services with a new offering.
Giorgia is now a licensed facilitator of the internationally recognised Horses Helping Humans™ (HHH) program*, and we're proud to bring this powerful service to our local community.
This unique, unmounted program is specifically designed to support disengaged and at-risk youth. Through individual and small group sessions, participants learn valuable life skills such as emotional regulation, confidence building, and effective communication.

Which Horse or Pony Are You?
Using “Which Horse or Pony Are You?”, a unique horse-centric adaptation of Hippocrates’ Four Temperaments, participants will learn how different personality types have their own conditioned responses under pressure. They’ll discover how to identify and understand various personality types, while building empathy and social skills.
The program teaches essential life skills like self-confidence, emotional regulation, communication, and interpersonal connection. It is tailored to be inclusive of different age groups and abilities, and is particularly beneficial for children facing depression, anxiety, or emotional regulation challenges.
