Commitment to Excellence
We pride ourselves on our adaptability and commitment to excellence in every aspect of our equine-assisted services. Explore what we have to offer and how we can support your well-being and development. Our temperament-tested horses are ready to connect with you.
How it Started......
It all began with two people sharing and building one simple idea fuelled by a deep passion for the profound impact that the horse-human connection can have.
We are a Tasmanian business, and we pride ourselves on providing individually tailored services for Tasmanians. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence in therapeutic support and skills development.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there anything special visitors should know or prepare for before coming to a session?
Come prepared with an open and curious mind. We take every care to make sure you are as safe as possible however horses are large animals and accidents can happen. You will be asked to indicate your understanding of risk by signing a waiver prior to your sessions commencing. Please let us know if you have any health conditions that may be relevant or impact on your experience. We will be outdoors, on uneven ground that may be wet or muddy. Make sure you wear appropriate clothes and shoes. If it is sunny, a hat and sunscreen is recommended.
How do I book an appointment?
You can easily book an appointment by contacting us directly via email at enquiries@mindsandmanes.com.au
What age groups do you cater for?
Minds and Manes offers animal-assisted therapy services for both children and adults, including individual sessions, family sessions, group work, and team building days. There is no specific age limit, as our programs are tailored to meet diverse needs.
What if I have no experience with horses?
No prior experience with horses is necessary! Our sessions focus on connection and relationships developed by working alongside the horses on the ground. Our temperament-tested horses and experienced facilitators will guide you every step of the way.
Does the therapy involve riding?
No, there is no ridden work involved in our sessions. All our experiences focus on connection and relationships, working alongside the horses on the ground. This approach allows for a different kind of interaction and therapeutic benefit.
What do you want people to really understand about how your services work with the animals, especially since there's no riding involved?
The combination of human and horse or "minds and manes" intervention provides a unique experience for people bringing a sense of balance, peace and clarity that stays with you long after your session is finished.
How much do your services cost?
Our pricing varies depending on the type and duration of the sessions. Please contact us directly for detailed information on pricing and package options and individual quotations at enquiries@mindsandmanes.com.au
