Horses in Coaching for Self Awareness, Leadership, communication and more

Why Horses

Through the eyes of a horse... there is no judgment, no "should", no "have to", no question of your worthiness. They see who you really are, and accept you. This fosters immediate trust, allowing you to hear feedback from them that you may not accept from another human. In this way, they are uniquely able to accelerate and deepen your growth.

When you build a relationship with a horse, you will:

increase self awareness

create a window into yourself as others see you

improve communication with others

identify leadership characteristics and how to apply them

recognize and manage team dynamics and structures

Because their survival depends on being part of a highly organized and complex herds, the horses are acutely aware and able to intuit the emotional states of those around them.

Modern humans value linear and logical thought patterns, training themselves to ignore their innate wisdom. Disconnected from the abundance of information available through all of our senses, we make limiting decisions. It can also lead to feeling overwhelmed with life and powerless to change.

Horses make decisions using their innate wisdom, offering a model in stark contrast to our own. This creates a unique setting for deep and profound learning. They will tell you what you need to know.

Horses offer the opportunity to practice new skills with the advantage of their practical, real-time feedback. This exploration allows you to effectively integrate new skills into your life.

Humans have long honored the horse as a powerful, spirited creature. Some have seen horses as mystical archetypes and magical souls; all have been inspired by their grace and beauty, captivated by their freedom and spirit, and intoxicated by their speed and power.

We now have the privilege to partner with these remarkable creatures; to honor them for helping us to see the world through different eyes and to deepen our understanding of ourselves. We have the profound opportunity to expand our comprehension beyond our linear lens and to learn to walk in the world with greater balance.

Horses can help us find harmony with them, and therefore, with ourselves.
