“Horses are prey animals and live as a herd, survival depends on being present and live in the moment”

Meet and listen to Kirsteen Jefferies who is a co-founder of Pebble Associates, based in Derbyshire Dales, near the Peak District.

Kirsteen is a professionally trained Equine Facilitated Coach, has a BSC in equine science and is a complimentary therapist in numerous techniques. Kirsteen has combined her lifelong passion for horses with her other love of supporting others’ wellbeing into this beautiful deep work of Equine Facilitated coaching.

Her passion and curiosity for horses has evolved since childhood, with dreams of owning and competing her own horse. Having achieved this, qualifying as an instructor, and continuing her learning in Equine massage, she embarked on a journey of development and embracing her own self-awareness through Equine Facilitated Coaching. The power and presence of the horse is so pure and this experiential approach to learning is reflective, honest, and transformational. The coaching insight the horses provide is intuitive & natural, enabling a compassionate and enlightening experience.

Kirsteen shares the knowledge of why horses are so adapted to co-partnering with a coach in this powerful, phenomenal work, maintaining and working closely with boundaries to gain insight and learning.

If you love horses this is one to watch, Kirsteen says “Horses don’t care how you look; how much you earn or what job you do! They simply react to the whole person entering their space in the moment.”

“Horses are beautifully, gentle majestic creatures.”
