Wisdom of Equus is a registered UK charity (No. 1175736) based in Wrexham, North Wales, dedicated to enhancing mental health and personal development through equine-assisted education and coaching. Our mission is to facilitate personal growth, education, and positive mental health, enabling individuals to lead more fulfilled lives.
What We Do
Wisdom of Equus offers ground-based, non-riding sessions suitable for children from the age of ten and adults. These sessions involve activities such as grooming, leading, husbandry and problem-solving with horses, providing participants with opportunities to build confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness.
Horses, being highly sensitive and social animals, respond to human emotions and body language, offering immediate and honest feedback. This interaction helps individuals develop skills in emotional regulation, self-awareness and non-verbal communication.
