THE AMAROO MISSION
We believe that when people experience a beautiful and supportive space, they feel safe enough to breathe – and supported enough to have the courage to explore and grow.
Amaroo is a space for people to have authentic connections with horses, nature, themselves, and others. We invite people an opportunity to be present and curious. We draw on evidence-based research to connect with the wisdom of horses, and the power of experience and exploration, to create meaningful change.
everything we do, is about relationship….
EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING
Individual or group sessions provide a safe space for clients to grow and expand their potential. EAL is a unique approach to experiential learning, where clients are offered safe experiences with horses for the purposes of learning social-emotional skills, personal development and professional development skills.

Individual Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) sessions can be an empowering process supporting a variety of mental ill-health-related challenges or for anyone looking to deep dive into their personal journey.
