No riding or previous experience with horses is required.
Group Workshops
Small group experiences with horses
Step away from the noise and experience the quiet presence of the horses.
Our gentle group workshops help you reset your nervous system. Through deepening your connection with nature, the presence of horses, guided meditation, and energy work, you can become more grounded, centred and present.
Come alone or with a friend. No experience with meditation or horses is needed.
Private Sessions
Created entirely around you
Private one-to-one sessions offer a safe, confidential space to explore whatever is present for you.

There is no fixed formula. Your session will unfold at your pace.

from our clients
Something changes when you enter the presence of a horse.
Horses live entirely in the present. They are deeply sensitive to body language, emotion and intention, responding to what they experience with honesty and without judgement.
Simply being near them can change the pace of a moment. The mind begins to quiet. The breath deepens. We become more aware of ourselves, our surroundings and the ways we connect with others.
At Be Horself, all interaction with the horses takes place from the ground. There is no riding, and you are always free to engage at the level that feels comfortable to you.
The horses are respected as sentient partners and are given a choice in every interaction. Their wellbeing is inseparable from the integrity of the experience.
How Equine Assisted Therapy Can Help You
Equine Assisted Therapy is a gentle, therapeutic approach that brings people and horses together to support emotional wellbeing, self-awareness, and personal growth. Through guided, ground-based interactions, horses can help us recognise feelings and patterns that words alone may not reach.
Horses have an extraordinary ability to connect with us on a deeper level. Highly attuned to their surroundings, they live entirely in the present moment, noticing our body language and sensing when our thoughts, emotions, intentions, and actions are not fully aligned. They respond with honesty, sensitivity, and no judgement, creating a connection that can feel both healing and magical.
Their immediate responses can help us become more aware of how we communicate, relate to others, and move through the world. Through this gentle connection, you can develop a deeper understanding of who you are and what you need, communicate more clearly, trust yourself more fully, establish healthier boundaries, and build greater emotional resilience.
There is no riding involved, and no previous experience with horses is needed. You are invited to connect at your own pace in a safe, supportive environment.
Meet Loredana
Loredana Caminiti, founder of Be Horself, has spent ten years helping people feel safe enough to slow down, soften, and be honest with themselves, creating space to care for their mental health and emotional wellbeing and to know that they are not alone.
She is a qualified Equine Facilitated Learning practitioner through LEAP, one of the UK’s leading equine therapy providers, in 2017. She is a Level 4 Senior Person-Centred Counsellor trainee and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, offering sessions in both English and Italian.
At the heart of her work is a profound respect for horses as sentient beings. Be Horself does not use horses to deliver Horse Assisted Wellbeing. Loredana works in partnership with them, recognising each horse as a facilitator in their own right and always allowing them to choose whether and how they take part. Through every session she advocates for a kinder way of being, grounded in respect and compassion for the horses and for nature, creating a legacy one session at a time.
Be Horself is a verified member of Progressive Equine Partnerships and is committed to compassionate, pain-free, and fear-free practices that place each horse’s physical and emotional wellbeing first. It also subscribes to the principles set out in The Compassionate Equestrian by Schoen and Gordon (2015), committing to the highest standards of ethical practice.
