Strengthen bonds and restore balance—horse-assisted family therapy for shared healing and co-regulation in the serene Somerset countryside.
Whether you want to improve communication, rebuild trust or shift long-standing patterns, our herd’s collaborative wisdom enables growth, resilience and deeper connection together.
How it works
Connect & Prepare
Sometimes family dynamics can get a little off-track. You may be navigating tension, change, or simply wanting deeper connection. In our call, we’ll explore your family’s intentions and offer guidance to help you prepare for your first session. You'll receive intake forms to complete.
Step into the process with clarity, shared purpose, and gentle support.
Arrive & Meet the Herd
Together as a family, you’ll be welcomed into a natural, co-regulating space held by our facilitation team and attuned herd. Sessions support each person in being seen and heard, while gently uncovering dynamics, unspoken needs, or emotional tensions ready to shift.
Experience the power of shared presence as insight and connection emerge.
Reflect & Integrate
After your session, or a series of sessions, you’ll be invited to pause, reflect and notice what feels different between you. You'll receive feedback and guidance on continued integration at home. You can choose to continue sessions as a family or as a parent-child pair when appropriate.
Leave with deeper understanding, renewed connection, and space for what’s growing between you.

“Such a powerful experience and a very intuitive way of getting to know yourself better” Vanessa I attended Track Clinic as part of a team building exercise, and I’m so surprised with how much I got from it, personally and professionally. Above all, an overwhelming feeling of connection and being completely understood by the horses and my colleagues. It is really hard to explain or put it into words how incredible and restorative this day was for me, and I truly believe everyone would benifit from spending a day with such incredible creatures. I really benefited from the team building exercises and the one-to-one moments with the horses. When I finally let myself go, and felt completely in touch with nature and with the horses I got a perception of their healing power and restoring abilities and couldn’t be more grateful to them and to Nina and her team. Everything from the location to the horses to how the entire day was planned and curated felt very purposeful. Would love to come back. To whom doesn't know it I would say they should try it, even if just once, as it’s such a powerful experience and a very intuitive way of getting to know yourself better.
‘Recovery from full autistic burnout’ Parent of 13-year-old My son has been able to bring historic emotions that had been deeply suppressed to the surface and begin to process them. This has helped his recovery from full autistic burnout in a gentle, supportive and manageable way for him. It has also meant that he appears more able to address new emotional challenges sooner and not feel he has to internalise everything. He is absolutely committed to his time with the herd! Even though he knows sometimes it will be emotional for him, he looks forward to this space every week. The gentle and supportive approach, which doesn't come with a set of requirements to follow rules, has been really beneficial for my son. He was so lost when the therapy started that he wouldn't have been able to engage with solution focussed/behaviour led approaches. Your welcoming, adaptive and understanding approach to supporting my son has been invaluable. We are deeply appreciative of your input and the impact it has had on him. Parent of 13-year-old
‘I found it extremely soothing…an effective tool in combating anxiety’ 18-year-old boy ‘I wasn’t sure what to expect when I had my first session, but I found it to be extremely soothing and immediately recognised that it was going to be an effective tool in combatting anxiety. Upon reflection I can say that having the sessions has made me much more self-aware and allowed me to develop more confidence in dealing with worries and anxieties. The most valuable thing I have gotten from the sessions has been developing a mind-body harmony that has allowed me to live more in the present, which has put me in a significantly better position to handle anxiety or any difficult situation.“ Father: Dear Nina, I want to thank you and your team at Track Clinic for working with B at a time when he was in real need of help. His anxiety and OCD, manifesting itself in intrusive thoughts, was dominating his life in a very negative way. It was an extremely worrying time for him and for my wife and me. The impact that Track Clinic had over the months when my son attended coaching sessions was remarkable. In the short-term you helped him to recover his mental health and happiness allowing him to make the most of his final year at school. Beyond that, the sessions have had a lasting impact and seem to have provided him with a resilience and a toolkit to help him manage his anxieties. I am just grateful that Track Clinic was recommended to us. I do hope that B will be able to drop in to say thank you to you and your team (and the horses!) sometime soon.
“These incredible animals were able to tune into the unmet need of my 4 year old self” If I can explain my trauma as unhealed suffering stemming from being a very young child. My trauma had no narrative as it went on unseen. The adults who were my care givers were tricked, and my suffering could not be addressed. At the same age, 4, I had an accident at a swimming pool when I cracked my head open on the tiled side. All the adults involved acted as care givers; my parents, pool staff and the doctor who stitched the wound. Being groomed and abused from the same age; 4 and lasting for many years, my suffering caused by adults who tricked my family, my suffering went unnoticed. There was no narrative. And my brain acted in the only way it could to survive; it took out of my body into a Dissociative state. My interaction with the herd has done so much towards healing the unhealed suffering. During both my visits I experienced safety and comfort, which I didn't get as a young child. For decades the pain of my abuse has lived inside me as a terrifying pain. In holding and being held by the herd gave me something that has been missing for most of my life. These incredible animals were able to tune into this unmet and unseen need of my 4 year old self. The healing has now begun. My inner child has had their pain and suffering acknowledged by therapists who eat hay and don't read referral forms. Honestly Nina, I don't know how to put all this into words...it goes much deeper than words. Eva
