How Horses Heal Humans: They Regulate Coherence in the Human Nervous System

Heart coherence happens when the two parts of the autonomic nervous system come into balance: the sympathetic (fight/flight) and the parasympathetic (rest/repair). Most humans live stuck in survival mode, which makes the heart rhythm incoherent. Horses change that. Their huge hearts create a powerful electromagnetic field that helps regulate our nervous systems. Simply standing near a calm, happy horse can shift a human from stress into coherence, lowering cortisol and increasing DHEA, the body’s natural healing chemistry.

Not every horse is coherent, but when horses feel safe and connected, they become a living model of regulation.

And a coherent human can help a stressed horse in return.

This is where true healing begins.

This is why happy horses are key to healing human hearts.
