🌿🐴 Ponies Bringing Connection to Counselling Students

Manukau Institute of Technology’s Bachelor of Counselling students recently enjoyed a taste of equine therapy — and our ponies loved it just as much as the people! These gentle, curious animals thrive on meeting new faces, soaking up the attention, and sharing their calm presence.
Twice a year, the ponies head out for these special sessions, and this latest visit marked their fourth time partnering with MIT. Each outing is a chance for them to connect, play, and show how horses can help us explore trust, boundaries, and emotional awareness in ways that words alone cannot.
It’s always heartwarming to see the joy on both sides — students discovering the power of equine therapy, and ponies enjoying the company, the pats, and the shared energy of the day.

This is the second time miniature horses have been brought onto the Ōtara campus for our students to get an understanding of Equine Therapy. Equine Therapy is a specialist form of therapy popular in the United States, using the Eagala system - a global standard in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and...

🌿 Meeting Minds at Blue Moon Healing Centre 🌿

Sometimes the most powerful thing is simply just being with horses. 🐴✨

Our rural property in Ararimu offers a rustic outdoor retreat space where support groups and creative circles can gather, reflect, and reconnect. Whether painting the horses and landscape, sharing time together under the trees, or simply sitting quietly in their presence, the experience is about connection, respite, and inspiration.

If your group would like to spend time “just being with horses,” message us to arrange a visit. 💜

🌿 At Meeting Minds, we offer a gentle and holistic approach to mental health support.

Here, I work alongside my horses — and the natural world — as partners in the healing process.

Together, we create space for curiosity, reflection, and connection.

Clients of all ages are invited to slow down, notice, and explore the world around them — and in doing so, discover the wisdom and answers that already live within.

This is a place to reconnect with yourself — your intuition, your inner knowing, and the calm that nature so effortlessly offers.

Meeting Minds is based at The Blue Moon Healing Centre, a peaceful farm surrounded by nurturing trees, vibrant gardens, and the gentle presence of sheep, birds, and other wildlife.

Here, in our sensory garden, you’re invited to relax, review, and rewire — finding balance and clarity in the rhythm of the natural world. 🌸🐴
