Wellness connections with horses

Equitherapy builds connection at Selman Marrakech, Morocco

Selman Marrakech, renowned for its stable of Arabian stallions, has introduced Equitherapy sessions for guests. This personal development workshop adds to the resort’s extensive spa and wellness offerings at the exclusive Chenot Spa.

Equitherapy is believed to help overcome anxieties and lack of confidence, and can help with stress management and emotional control.

The session takes place in a paddock accompanied by a guide. The nature of the horse is explained and some guidance given about how to behave around it. The workshop involves gaining the horse’s attention, building a relationship of trust and learning how to control yourself, your inner feelings and stress in front of the horse, among a range of other activities. The horse is essentially a companion to the guest’s psychological and spiritual development.

A guided meditation completes the Equitherapy session, further enhancing relaxation, wellbeing and building confidence.
