What can horses help you learn?

Awareness of our energy, our defenses, our limiting beliefs and how they show up in our mindset, body language, and our professional and personal roles. Horses are attuned to subtle changes and give immediate and unbiased feedback, helping bring to light and illustrate a human's personal and professional challenges in real time. They accelerate learning across team and individual settings. Learn to be present, practice communication skills,  set boundaries, and build confidence showing up as your most authentic self in work, life, family settings and beyond.

Professional Development & Leadership

We spend a significant amount of time at work and our professional life and success is inextricably linked to our personal feelings of satisfaction, motivation, self-worth, and leadership.  In order to achieve the tangible outcomes, we need to have congruence within ourselves to understand our how we show up in terms of our presence, feelings, habits and engrained behaviors. Horses provide the immediate feedback by mirroring your energy and its shifts, helping you recognize key changes and insights.

​

​

Furthermore, our horse guides are herd animals and perfect for helping you to experience your effect in a team environment. Come enjoy a day of learning outside of the office in nature; let your mind and body de-stress and create new, positive, and life-changing experiences.

​

We can work together with your existing HR or Executive Coach. These sessions are ideal for: Presidents & Vice Presidents​, Directors, Managers and Team Leaders, Entrepreneurs and Business Owners, Consultants​, Executive Coaches, Human Resource Professionals

​

Scheduled as a 1.5 hr session or 1/2 day format, with package series available. 

Personal Development & Constellations

Receive exactly what you seek from the equine guides. Unlock your personal wisdom by working with the horses. No prior experience is needed and I'll customize your sessions based on your personal intentions and comfort level..

 

This is a great experience for humans interested in the energetic realm which horses inhabit. We can tailor your experience to what is coming up for you and move through challenges concerning boundaries, stuck mindsets, old stories / patterns, relationships, family constellations and overwhelm / stress, and lack of self-care.

 

You'll be in your body and heart, observing the horses and noticing how you interpret their behaviors. They'll help shed light on your responses to particular feelings and situations in your life and how it can change once your energy around it does. Horses sense your energetic fields and mirror your emotional states, both lower ones and positive, uplighting ones. As a coach, I'm here to hold space, pose open questions, and crystalize insights.

Real Time Example: You may began wanting to control the horse's movements, with domineering energy, much like you try to control every aspect of the work schedule and your team meetings, instead of leaving space for self-expression and self-responsibility. Pause, breathe, create connection and invite the horse to move with quiet confidence, each respecting their own. Et voila!

Group Dynamics and CohesioN

Horses see below the surface and instantly sense the group dynamic. As herd animals, they are keenly aware of the energetic shifts of both individuals and the group as a whole. This provides powerful and immediate feedback that can transform employees' understanding of their effect in the working group.

​

For groups to work together effectively, they must have self-awareness, trust in each other, and believe in their leader. Starting with a level playing field at the farm, we'll explore intentions and goals and practice how to support each other for the best outcomes.

​

As within their own herd, horses show us how individuals can work cohesively for positive results. Through various activities, participants will observe and understand how their energetic state of participation affects both the group and the desired outcomes (business goals).

​

Horse teachers get right to the point and it's amazing what we can be accomplished together in a short time (1 or 2 days). They respond to the slightest of shifts in the group dynamic, providing plenty of teachable moments that will imprint for the future.  Because this is a whole being felt experience, the results are transformative and long-lasting.

​

Every year, companies struggle with costly employee turnover, disengagement, and disappointing leadership, that drains finances, time, and energy. Some of this is external, but much internal disunity can be addressed and improved. Accelerate learning in this life-changing team-building event, where horses do the teaching and facilitators provide a safe and supportive environment.

the Art of leadership

As with every group setting, leadership is a integral element. Leadership is about how we lead ourselves and how we lead others. The quality of a manager, director, president, etc. acts as the driving force between your people and your business success. Horses naturally seek an effective leader and they respond to various leadership styles differently. They'll help you witness when you are out of congruence (too firm or too soft-spoken, distracted or unfocused, out of touch with group members struggles), or aligned (moving smoothly along the course and obstacles).

​

Horses have no agenda and this program encourages change toward what best serves ourselves and others.

​

We can work together with your existing HR or Executive Coach and Curriculum can be tailored to incorporate both individual and group learning. ie. a manager(s) may do a private session before a team day.  Ideal for: C-Suite Professionals, Presidents, Directors, Managers/Team Leaders & their Teams,  Entrepreneurs and Business Owners, Executive Coaches, Human Resource Professionals 

themes & benefits

client feedback

From the leading exercises, I learned how to embody confidence and determination in order to align with the horse and be able to influence it. 

I can clearly see that these learnings are easily transferable into the workplace, as leadership must come from from a place of embodied conviction. 


Both Dolly and Chloe are such graceful teachers. Dolly is a wise, compassionate listener and Chloe is a joyful carefree soul. Thanks again for opening up my mind to this way of developing myself and my leadership qualities. I am looking forward to my next equi-coaching session!
