My Journey with Humanship UK: A Year of Horses, Healing, and Hope

From Registration to Launch – What a Year It’s Been!”

A Year of Learning

Back in April 2023, something magical happened. Humanship UK officially came to life as a not-for-profit organization. Little did I know that the year ahead would be an incredible rollercoaster ride filled with lessons, growth, and heartwarming moments.

From day one, I’ve been on a steep learning curve, but every challenge has pushed me to evolve and refine our mission.

Bringing My Passions Together

I started Humanship UK because I wanted to merge my two great passions – helping people and my deep love for horses. Horses can be incredible partners in personal growth and healing. They have no agenda and no judgement, they are just in the moment with us helping us to connect more deeply with ourselves and others.

The Magic of Equine Therapy

One of the most profound discoveries has been the incredible transformation that happens when horses become part of the therapeutic process. These majestic creatures bring wisdom, empathy, and a unique connection to our programs. It’s been incredible to see clients break through barriers, gain confidence, and embrace their true selves through interactions with our therapy horses.

For instance, one client began to understand their need for control, while another overcame their fear of horses, all while gaining insight into how they present themselves to the world. These stories highlight the profound impact of Equine Facilitated Learning on personal growth and well-being.

Our Spectacular Launch Event

As the year unfolded, we worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. The pinnacle of our efforts was the successful launch event in September. It was a day filled with hope, empowerment, and the enchantment of equine connection. The feedback from participants was beyond heartwarming, reinforcing our belief in the importance of what we do.

Our guest speaker, Emma, was nothing short of inspiring, and her words struck a chord with everyone present. Meeting our therapy horses and exploring the vendor stalls added to the sense of community and positive energy that filled the event.

Looking Ahead with Excitement

As I reflect on this past year, I’m filled with a sense of awe at the transformations we’ve witnessed. We’ve grown, learned, and shared an incredible journey of healing and empowerment with our clients. Looking forward, I’m bursting with excitement for what the future holds for Humanship UK.

Our commitment to providing a judgment-free space for individuals to confront challenges, discover their inner strength, and embrace authenticity remains unwavering. I invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey, where horses, humans, and healing come together to create profound transformations.

Supporting Mental Health and Well-being

In the coming year, we’re thrilled to announce new workshops and partnerships with charities to provide vital mental health support. At Humanship UK, we believe in giving back, and our positive psychology ethos of strengths, abundance, and flourishing will continue to guide our development.

We wouldn’t be able to do this work without our supporters. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on donations and sponsorships to provide this unique experience to those who need it most, regardless of their financial means.

In Conclusion

With a heart full of gratitude, I look back on a year of discovery, growth, and transformation. As we move forward, I carry with me the stories of change, the wisdom of our therapy horses, and the unwavering belief in the power of equine connection.

Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming events, workshops, and opportunities to be part of the Humanship UK community. Together, we’re riding towards a brighter and more empowered future.

With gratitude and excitement,
