The Selman Marrakech is introducing something new for 2023; Equitherapy with Arabian horses. The wellness-focused sessions have been designed to help you reconnect with your true nature with one of the world’s most beautiful horse breeds, acting as a mirror to your soul.

The timeless palace setting of Selman Marrakech is dedicated to arguably the most beautiful breed of horses in the world, the Arabian. New for 2023, Selman invites guests to live a unique experience through a personal development workshop where the horse acts as a companion to psychological and spiritual development, thanks to its ability to connect with humans.

The concept of ‘Equitherapy’ offers you the power to find your true nature through the teachings of the horse. Learn to live in harmony with nature and animals, but above all, with yourself. Reconnect to your true nature, with the horse acting as a mirror to your soul.

Be guided by this powerful yet at the same time fragile animal who will accompany you and lead you to understand your inner workings. This experience occurs not only at a cognitive level but also at a sensory, emotional, motor and social level.

Equitherapy is known to help overcome anxieties and lack of confidence and can help with stress management and emotional control. The horse acts as a catalyst for development opportunities which can be transferred to everyday life.

The session will take place in a paddock with the horse, accompanied by a guide, who will explain the horse’s nature and give guidance on how to behave with a horse. The session will involve gaining the horse’s attention, building a relationship of trust with the horse, and learning how to control yourself, your feelings and your stress in front of the horse, amongst other activities.

A guided meditation will complete the equitherapy session, further enhancing relaxation, well-being and confidence.

The Equitherapy takes place on foot; no previous knowledge of horses or riding is needed.

  • £104pp (1300 MAD) for a 45 Equitherapy minute session
  • £177 (2200 MAD) for a 1h30 Equitherapy & Meditation session
