Groundwork Connection

Groundwork Connection is an Equine Assisted Personal Growth Program all about having fun and building relationships with horses on the ground rather than riding. Participants that benefit include those with developmental challenges such as autism, ADHD, and trauma. Through exercises and obstacles, participants learn how to build rapport, trust, connection, and confidence with the horse. Being eye-to-eye with the horse enables a deep bond and a personal relationship. Horses communicate with each other through non-verbal communication. Participants are empowered by learning what the slightest movement can mean when reading the horse’s non-verbal signals. Benefits include:

• Increased ability to focus
• Reading and understanding non-verbal communication with humans
• Positive self-talk and thoughts
• Improved spatial awareness
• Better ability to express self
