Introducing 'A Playful Guide to Horse Archetypes' Imagination, curiosity, and ethical equine-assisted personal development combined. This short course is a fun, creative exploration of how horses can appear as characters in a client’s unfolding story during equine-assisted personal development sessions. Before we begin, here’s an important Horses Connect reminder: This is a playful tool. It’s not science, psychology, or behaviour interpretation. We never ‘read’ horses or assign meaning to their behaviour. We do not analyse the horse or the client. We do not symbolise or interpret emotional states. Instead, we: honour the horse as a sentient being stay firmly in the personal-development lane support client agency and imagination let story lead, not analysis celebrate curiosity + creativity Archetypes in this course are simply light, imaginative invitations to notice how a horse’s presence, movement, or stillness can shape a moment, just like characters shape a scene in a story. Because sometimes… - a calm horse can represent an Anchor - a curious one can represent an Explorer - a watchful one can represent a Sentinel - a wandering one can represent a Space-Maker - a steady presence can represent a Companion And sometimes the most meaningful thing is: ‘They’re just being themselves, and that’s enough.’ This course gives you: ✅ A playful, ethical creative tool ✅ Story-based prompts that avoid interpretation ✅ Language that keeps you in your lane as an Equine-assisted Personal Development Coach# ✅ Ways to invite imagination and possibility ✅ A gentle method to your own deepen presence and awareness Who this is for - Equine-assisted personal development coaches - Horses Connect trainees & CPD learners - Anyone who loves imagination, horses, and ethical facilitation Who this is not for - People looking for psychological meaning or symbolism - Anyone wanting to analyse horse behaviour or client emotions - Therapeutic interpretation approaches Our mantra for this course:
