Co-Regulation- An embodied presence of togetherness; being with others in a meaningful way to help balance and recharge the sensory system and bodymind.
One of the most wonderful things about the human equine relationship is that it is largely non verbal. For our clients that communicate differently than the most other people, it can feel relieving and even regulating to drop any expectation; relating the best way they know how and being accepted.
For those wondering, the horse permits the action profoundly. In this instance, she is not tied down or held tightly, allowing her to enter a parasympathetic state and naturally respond to the client. They both closed their eyes, breathed together, and experienced the stillness for as long as he needed. He thanked her by brushing her back and scratching the places she loved itched most.
