About
Who we are..... Denise Graham
I am an intuitive horsewoman, blending my experience as a qualified teacher and an Equine Assisted Learning Practitioner to create transformative experiences for children and adults alike.
For over a decade, I have empowered children to grow in confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence. My 20+ years of working with horses have deepened my understanding of their wisdom—the way they teach us to trust ourselves, break free from limiting beliefs, and reconnect with our true nature.
I believe in the power of play, curiosity, and unstructured learning. This philosophy is at the heart of both my equine-assisted programs and my nature school, where children and adults alike can develop a deeper connection to themselves, the natural world, and the life skills that will serve them for years to come.
Mentorship is also a core part of my work. I have had the privilege of guiding teens through year-long journeys of self-discovery, helping them build confidence, develop leadership, and gain the tools to navigate life with greater ease.
It is a dream come true to share what Horses and the Herd have taught me and to witness the profound transformations that unfold when humans, horses, and nature come together.
Offerings
Here at Embody the Herd we bridge the magic of horse and herd with humans through our offerings we cater across the age ranges from Nature School, Horse Wisdom for Teens and Adults.
Nature School - Term and Holiday Programmes
Wednesday and Thursdays 9am - 3pm
Nature School at the Horse Sanctuary offers a learning through play program for children aged 5-10. With small class sizes and a focus on building secure relationships, children explore the farm through interest-led activities, including risky play like climbing, water play, and tool use. A typical day includes a morning circle, farm adventures (blackberry picking, exploring the lake or gorse maze, playing on the clay hill), nature-based art and science activities, construction play in the hay shed, and time spent with the horses as part of a Horse Wisdom program designed to foster confidence, communication, and resilience.
Horse Human Heart Healing

Leave feeling grounded, nurtured, and deeply supported.
Horse Wisdom Tween/Teen Holiday Programme
Mondays and Fridays - School Holidays 9am - 3pm
A truly unique horse holiday experience designed to empower tweens/teens with confidence and self-awareness.
