Leadership with Horses
We offer unique opportunities to develop self-leadership and team building skills by working with horses — on the ground, not riding. With the help of horses, you can develop the clarity and focus that engages others in a shared vision. Horses can also guide you to a true state of presence that leads to calm and well-being. These skills are transferable to all business and personal relationships.
The Opportunity for Businesses
Leadership & Team Building Retreats
Leadership and team building retreats with horses help business owners, executives, managers and their teams improve relationships and performance in the workplace. Working with horses offers powerful insights about effective relationships, collaboration, creative problem solving and empowerment that results from enhanced awareness, presence and intention. These lessons translate to your workplace for improved performance and relationships based on trust.
Private Sessions for Executives
Private sessions for executives also focus on leadership development and offer the opportunity for the participant to understand how they engage with their team as a leader as they discover their leadership style. Working with horses allows the participant to understand the nature of their relationship with self and others and build skills that open the door to enhanced collaboration, creative problem solving and self-empowerment.
Strengthen Team Building Skills
Retreats provide a fun, engaging platform for self-discovery and self-alignment, resulting in increased trust, interconnectedness and empowered teams.
Identify Potential Leaders in your Company
Observing employees as they interact with horses at a retreat provides a risk-free environment for business owners and executives to identify individuals with leadership potential.
The Opportunity for Individuals
Private Sessions for Emotional Balance
Finding emotional balance is the opportunity facing everyone right now. Horses can help. Private sessions, with horses as your guides, help you find your center, allowing you to shift from stress to calm and impact those around you in a positive way.
The Value of Emotional Balance
• Well-being
• Calm
• Centering
• Clarity
• Focus
Horses guide you to a place of “coherence,” which is a peak performance state. Coherence takes you out of "fight or flight" (the reaction that happens if your survival is threatened) and connects you to a true state of presence. Horses live in this state of presence because they are prey animals and need acute presence to survive. Presence is a doorway to a calm state of being, no matter what is happening around you. In presence, you are connected to your instinctual responses, which helps you navigate life and business safely.
The Opportunity for Everyone
