Why Horses?
Stephanie and Forest, her heart horse
My name is Stephanie. I grew up surrounded by horses and animals. I believe they are the greatest teachers and best part about life on planet Earth. They are the angels. We can learn so much from our animal brothers and sisters. They operate on a different vibration. We can also operate there but many of us have forgotten our connection to the Earth. They are here to guide us and help us remember.
Horses have a large energetic field that can be felt from several feet away. The human heart is the strongest source of electromagnetic energy in the body—and a horse’s heart produces an even larger and more coherent electromagnetic field.
When a person stands near a horse, their heart rate variability can begin to naturally synchronize with the horse’s. this gentle physiological mirroring creates a powerful sense connection and calm. Many people feel more grounded, centered, and emotionally balanced after simply being in the presence of a horse,
This phenomenon is called heart coherence: a state in which the body, mind, and spirit work in harmony. In this state the body functions more efficiently. The nervous system becomes more regulated, and stress levels decrease.
Heart coherence has been associated with improved emotional regulation, reduced anxiety, and an overall enhanced sense of well-being. This is just one of many reasons horses are such profound partners in healing and connection.
