Natural Lifemanship

Natural Lifemanship (NL) is a Trauma-focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy(TF-EAP ™) method developed by Tim Jobe and Bettina Shultz-Jobe. The NL model is based on principles for building connected partnerships with horses in ways that carry over to human relationships. A key principal of NL is the belief that "an attuned, connected relationship with self and others is key to healthy development, mental health and well-being and that this is the vehicle for change when it comes to healing the psychological and relational wounds of trauma. Horse psychology and physiology are used to help human psychology and physiology."

This method offers both groundwork and rhythmic riding, however, we will not be using the riding modality at this farm. Many of our rescued mustangs have not been ridden before or have physical limitations that do not allow them to be ridden. We strongly believe in the principles and science behind this method and may choose to use the round pen work with some clients.
