Animal science provides us with evidence about how a horse responds to the world around them. For example, researchers found that a horse's electromagnetic field is 5x larger than that of a human being. Their large heart center directly interacts with the coherent heart pattern in humans, which is why many experience joy and a sense of well-being when interacting with them. Other findings from animal science teach us about a horse's communication patterns, fight or flight responses, and personality types.

The chakra system, an ancient energy map within the body, can help equestrians connect more deeply with their horses by balancing their energy centers. When a rider's chakras are aligned, they can cultivate better emotional clarity, mental focus, and physical balance. For example, the root chakra promotes stability and grounding, essential for staying calm and secure in the saddle. The heart chakra enhances compassion and empathy, allowing riders to communicate more intuitively with their horse. A balanced chakra system fosters a harmonious energy flow between rider and horse, improving trust, communication, and connection.

Bioenergetic practices like yoga, reiki, meditation, and breathwork enhance horseback riding by helping riders become more centered, mindful, and attuned to their body and energy. Yoga increases flexibility, balance, and core strength, which are vital for maintaining proper posture and stability in the saddle. Reiki promotes relaxation and emotional harmony, reducing tension and fostering a stronger energetic bond between rider and horse. Meditation sharpens mental focus and reduces anxiety, allowing for clearer communication. Breathwork helps regulate energy and calmness, enabling riders to stay grounded and connected, enhancing overall performance and the rider-horse relationship.

Each client at Horse Girl Reiki receives an individualized plan according to their unique needs based on their Chakra Flow Assessment. Each breathwork / meditation exercise is designed to occur either before riding, during the riding session, or post-riding lesson. These exercises are incorporated into the riding lesson. Riders can also download the free guided ride to practice breathwork exercises for free, without the need of a chakra assessment under the Free Video Resources tab.
