“The difference observed in every one of the children, and mums, prior to arriving compared to whilst working with the horses and again afterwards was astonishing. Everyone was so immersed in the experience, enjoyed learning from you both and the horses, and everyone was able to take home special memories that can only be made through valuable collaborations between likeminded organisations like ours. To engage all the participants and deliver such high-quality educational therapy was such a terrific feat!”

“Thank you to the team at Pilbara Heart Horses for helping our Charlotte’s dreams come true last year. We especially appreciated the emphasis on safety and care taught to her as she embarks on her horsemanship journey. It is without a doubt the highlight of her week, and we look forward to another term ahead of learning and fun!”

“The Pilbara Heart Horses were a huge success, clearly, they were our star attractions on the day (closely followed by our awesome young guest speaker). The presence of the majestic horse who’s gently soul had a calming presence for all who approached for a pat and the pony with its abundance of cuteness was a huge success.

The children became fully engaged with the pony and being allowed to finger paint its coat was a fantastic way of getting some hands-on connection for the little ones. We are very grateful to have them be part of our International Day of People with Disability event.”

“Our students had the opportunity to spend time with Breeze, Blondy and the cheekiest pony, Max. Faime created a safe and inclusive environment that allowed our students to engage with the horses and learn to respond to their non-verbal cues and behaviour which is vital for their social and emotional skills and regulation.

Our students responded positively to this experience and are excited to share in this experience again. We are incredibly grateful and fortunate to have Faime and Pilbara Heart Horses in the Karratha community and look forward to our next Equine Assisted Learning excursion with Faime and her beautiful tribe of horses.”

Through their innovative programs and compassionate approach, Pilbara Heart Horses along with Autism Horses Australia has made a significant impact in our community and to our family. It is something our family has been finally waiting for locally. They are helping individuals with and without disabilities overcome challenges, cope with mental health issues, and lead happier, healthier lives.

I have personally witnessed the positive results of their sessions with our son Mason who is non-verbal autistic. The Autism Horses NeuroThrive System PEERS Program specifically addresses the three pillars of Mason’s diagnosis: Communication, Social Interaction and Restrictive and Repetitive thoughts and behaviours. The development in Mason since starting these sessions has made a huge impact to his life and our family.”

“Faime has brought so much happiness to several of my clients weeks by providing a community activity that brings not only joy and happiness but also a sense of calm.

Pilbara Heart Horses is providing our region with an activity that enables people of all ages and abilities to meet out in nature, to practice caring for horses, to learn basic horsemanship and has left my own clients feeling a sense of self worth.

On several occasions they have shared feeling a decrease in symptoms of social anxiety and depression.”
