Summary at a Glance

Recognising the impact that the horses have on their guests, the team at Nihi are increasingly using horses in their wellness programmes, and have recently started running Equine Intuitive Awareness Retreats that harness the calming and healing power of horses.

The horses are used for beach and trail rides, as well as swimming with guests, but the focus is on encouraging horses to follow their natural instincts rather than being forced through fear or violence.

Louie’s antics occur during the running of the horses on Nihi Sumba’s beach when the herd gallops together from their yard at ‘Sandalwood Stables’ along the shoreline to graze in the fields overlooking the beach.

The retreats include energy awareness sessions, meditation with horses, reiki healing, and equine yoga, as well as swimming with horses and beach rides.

Because that’s how horses act here at Nihi Sumba - they’re encouraged to follow their natural instincts and act wild and free.
