Resources for Families

Whether you're navigating big feelings, looking for ways to connect with your kids, or simply searching for something a little different, this space was created with your family in mind.

 

Help yourself to a growing collection of free resources from fun horse-themed activity sheets for little ones, to conversation starter guides designed to gently open dialogue between parents and children.

 

You'll also find the 'Ask the Herd' series, a collection of simple emotional tools drawn from years of working alongside horses and the quiet wisdom they offer far beyond the paddock.

 

These resources are for families everywhere, whether you've ever met a horse or not. And if something here resonates with you, you might also enjoy 'Hoofbeats and Heartbeats - Wisdom from The Herd' a natural extension of these ideas, written from the heart, with families just like yours in mind.

Kids Fun Activity Sheets

We believe that healing and growth can happen beyond the counselling room and sometimes, all it takes is a quiet moment at the kitchen table. Our free, horse-themed activity sheets are designed for children and families to explore emotions, build connection, and have fun together. Each sheet is thoughtfully created to feel gentle and inviting, not like homework. Simply download, print, and let the horses guide the way as you gallop through the fun sheets.

Conversation Starters for Parents & Kids

Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing where to begin. Our conversation starters are here to help you open the door to meaningful moments with your child - no special training required. Whether it's a chat on the drive home or a quiet moment before bed, these gentle prompts make it easier to connect, listen, and understand each other a little better. The best conversations often start with just one simple question.

'Ask the Herd' - Simple Emotional Tools Inspired by the Horses

Horses have a remarkable way of sensing emotion and responding with quiet wisdom, and the 'Ask the Herd' tools bring that same gentle guidance into your home. Each tool is inspired by the way our herd naturally supports connection, calm, and emotional honesty. Designed to be simple enough for young children yet meaningful for the whole family, these resources help everyone find words and actions for feelings that are sometimes hard to express. Think of it as having a little piece of the paddock, wherever you are.

We warmly welcome you to reach out with anything that is sitting on your heart, whether it's a question, something you're working through, or simply something you'd love a little guidance on. You won't be the first to ask, and you certainly won't be the last, and who knows, the herd may just have a little wisdom to offer too!
