  • "1000 x recommend HEAL Aotearoa. We have used them for a children’s birthday party and for horse riding. To my son, Evie and her horse Kass are super heroes. They can shine light on the darkest of days thank you for lifting us up. Especially you Kass!"

MEET THE HEAL TEAM

A child can

breathe, observe, stand beside a horse,

touch, groom, lead, walk,

notice, pause and choose.

The horse offers immediate non-verbal feedback.

HEAL™ places… 

✤ relationship before performance ✤

✤ co-regulation before control ✤

✤ experience before explanation ✤

Riding is not the goal; connection is.

Activities are adapted to the individual and can include groundwork, grooming, leading, obstacles, stillness, breath and, where appropriate, riding.

Love notes from our community

  • “Eve and her beautiful horses have been game changing for my 8 year old daughter, Mya. Eve is patient, kind and supportive with Mya. Her 3 horses are so safe and calm. Mya shows a sense of calm and focus when she is with the horses that she struggles to find in other areas of life. Thank you for all you do ”

  • "Evie is just a beautiful wahine. I feel like ive known her forever. What an amazing kaupapa. The wairua of the whole place is tau (peaceful) the confidence my miss 4 suddenly had in a new environment was amazing to see. Normally very shy was now telling Evie what to do. We both cant wait to come back. We both hope to be apart of this journey for a long time and cant wait to share with our whanau. Nga mihi nui kia koe me o hoiho mo o kotou manaakitanga Koka Evie Ka nui te aroha."

  • “Evie and her horses offer a great experience. Breaking down boundaries and helping us connect with our calm and confidence again. The horses are pretty special from riding lessons with the amazing Moose to healing time with beautiful Kass. Not to forget Indie Rose and Miss Faith the mini."
