Group Sessions
Are you part of a group of people who would enjoy a chance to meet the horses?
Perhaps you run a therapy group, or charity for people who may benefit from the opportunity to be outside and interact with the horses.
Provide them with an opportunity to gain new memories in our group facilitated sessions.
'I’ve been staying in a lot recently and didn’t realise how much this had affected my confidence. Working with the horses has really helped'
No glass ceilings!
We don't believe in limiting people, so we will tailor the sessions to include as much or as little as necessary.
'It got rid of my anxiety today, I feel much calmer now. I'd like to work with horses again'
Each participant will receive an introduction to horse handling, have the chance to groom and handle the horses individually in a series of what we term 'pre flight checks'. These enable everyone to be safe around the horses:
Leading
Moving the back and front end of the horse out of your space
Back up
Then, dependant upon the groups general ability we will move on to activities including, but not limited to, any of the following which are graded upon the ability of the individual-
Weaving through cones
Negotiating obstacles
jumping a horse on line
Liberty work / hooking on
It is important to note that these can and will be tailored to the group leaders wishes and any goals that the group or individual may have set for the day.
'it was phenomenal watching the way that people came out of themselves'
If we see a group multiple times, we will develop their horse handling skills to an advanced a level as the participants wish to go.
Natures Laws 12 Week programme

This course is a journey for an individual to progress as far as they desire, and it is their choice the size of life changes they are wanting to make in order to move forward. It is Spirit of the Phoenix responsibility to provide the information and tools necessary so the individual can take that journey and the weekly supportive environment with the horses to assist through their personal development using the framework of natures laws.
