WELSH INSTITUTE OF THERAPEUTIC HORSEMANSHIP

WITH provides opportunities for disadvantaged individuals to work with horses and take part in educational and recreational activities to gain confidence and other life skills. Equine-assisted activities involve both ground and ridden activities. During groundwork sessions, service users learn horse care and training techniques. Ridden activities involve learning to ride and negotiating obstacles.

At WITH, we know that the prospect of spending time with horses can motivate and inspire isolated and hard to reach people. However, women in particular have a special affinity with them. As prey animals, horses are powerful yet vulnerable. The psyches of both horses and women are connected as they have a shared understanding of what it can feel like to be prey. Like the lead mare in the horse herd, women are nurturers. They are programmed by society to take care of others and are prone to make personal sacrifices. Due to putting their own needs last, they don't always access help for mental health. The Alpha Mare in a herd can also be an assertive leader and fierce protector who has strong and connected relationships with the others in her herd.The Alpha Mare Course will enable women experiencing mental health issues to set boundaries, make healthy choices, recognise self-worth, build self-esteem and cope with change. The project will facilitate peer support as women join together to take part in a meaningful activity and bond over a shared interest. This equips women with the confidence and communication skills to talk about their mental health, form a supportive 'herd' and discover their inner Alpha Mare qualities.
