About Me

A woman with a horse at a peaceful outdoor equine therapy session.

Hello, my name is Anette Haug, I founded Equinox Therapy 15 years ago when I rescued my first horse Ed who was the catalyst in starting me on my journey.

Discovering natural horsemanship made me start to listen and wait, instead of telling my horses what to do, and I found this worked well for myself and my horses.

For example, when I was in a hurry and the horse wouldn’t enter a horse trailer, as soon as I let go of my immediate time worry about time things changed and the horse happily walked into the trailer.

This made me think that if something changes inside me then the horse stops resisting my intentions.

Training & Studies

Wanting to explore how I could teach people from my experiences, I started with a 3 year training course in Equine Guided Leadership held in Germany. After that I ran my own courses here on my farm in Sussex. Running these courses confirmed to me that horses can teach people, and after doing this work for 8 years, in 2016 I decided to expand my skills into the world of Equine Guided Therapy and Traumatology.

My studies and learnings in equine therapy are also an evolving process for myself in that I strive to overcome my own traumas and challenges. I can provide you with a safe space to explore your issues, without judgement and at your own pace.
