“Sometimes a horse brings more than companionship.

It brings back a memory,

a story, a feeling - and a part of ourselves

we thought we had left behind.”

HEAL™ Out & About brings the connection to you. Designed for rest homes, aged-care facilities, disability and supported-living services, community organisations and people who may be unable to visit a HEAL Healing Hub.

The programme takes carefully selected HEAL horses into familiar and accessible environments.

Each experience begins with hā - breath and presence, creating a gentle moment of connection before participants are invited to meet, touch, brush, talk to or simply spend time alongside the horse.

There is no expectation to ride, perform or even speak; the relationship itself is the experience. 

Through touch, presence and companionship, horses can encourage conversation, evoke memories and stories, create moments of calm and joy, and bring people, whānau and carers together. 

Participation is always by choice and guided by dignity, accessibility, safety and horse welfare.

When you can’t come to the horse, HEAL brings the connection to you.

Love notes from our community

  • “Lil Miss Faith is so sweet and was a welcome guest at our rest home. The smiles on the faces of the residents came from the sense of connection they could feel to the tiny wee pony."

    — Rest Home staff HEAL miniature pony attended

  • “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."

    — Mother of childs birthday HEAL attended

  • “Kass was such a delight. She would respond to every child in her own unique way. There wer so many children at the party and none of it phased her. She is very speical and Evie managed all the children very well. It made us all feel very relaxed."
