Reconnect, Repair, and heal: Why "Hold Me Tight with Horses" Might Be Exactly What Your Relationship Needs

Let’s be honest - relationships can be hard. Even the strongest partnerships can get tangled in patterns of disconnection, misunderstanding, or old hurts. You love each other, but sometimes it feels like you’re stuck in the same argument, unsure how to get back to feeling close again.

That’s where Hold Me Tight with Horses comes in.

This is not your average couples workshop.

Based on Dr. Sue Johnson’s world-renowned Hold Me Tight program and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), this experience combines powerful relationship tools with the deep, intuitive presence of horses - creating a truly transformational space for connection.

Why Horses?

Horses don’t fake it. They respond in the moment, offering honest, non-judgmental feedback. They tune into body language, tone, and emotional energy - just like we do in relationships, often without realizing it. In that way, horses help us slow down and become more aware of our own emotional patterns, how we show up with our partner, and what gets in the way of connection.

Through guided exercises, heartfelt conversations, and gentle interactions with horses, couples begin to:

• Understand their negative cycles and where they get stuck

• Recognize and express softer emotions beneath frustration or withdrawal

• Feel truly seen, heard, and emotionally safe with each other

• Build stronger emotional bonds, grounded in empathy and trust

No Horse Experience Needed

You won’t be riding - this is about presence, not performance. All activities are on the ground and supported by a trained facilitator who will help you make sense of the emotions that come up and guide you toward deeper relational healing.

Is This for Us?

This group is ideal for couples who:

• Your relationship is good, but you're invested in keeping it that way

• You feel like roommates more than partners

• You’re stuck in repeated conflict or total disconnection

• You’ve been hurt, and healing feels out of reach

• You love each other but don’t know how to fix it

• You’re scared of losing the relationship, but still have hope

You don’t have to keep doing this alone - and you don’t have to give up. This experience offers a different way forward: one grounded in truth, trust, and the quiet wisdom of horses.
