The Urban Connection property is set amongst 87 acres of natural bushland. Connect, laugh and learn about yourself with our beautiful horses. Take in the natural bushland, creeks and grassy paddocks that this beautiful natural environment has to offer. We do not ride the horses, rather in teams of 2-4 you will work with your equine teammate through several obstacles. Each course is different and poses new challenges. You will learn some horsemanship and how to work with your horse, understand his communication and adjust according to his needs. As the facilitator, I am there to help participants understand these moments and relate them back to their everyday lives. Programs are fun and light hearted, with a personal touch, they are great for creating a strong connection with your self and others. Groups are kept small for a truly unique and personal experience (max 8 people per session). This is a private event.
