What We Do
Why Horses?
Horses are prey animals and give honest feedback: They have extremely astute senses and react to the smallest stimuli in a very recognisable way. Facilitators help participants to interpret these reactions, providing a window into their own behaviour. In doing this, they develop a deeper level of self-awareness and understanding. There is no judgment in a horse’s reaction. They simply react in an authentic way to whatever stimulus is present around them. This lack of judgment can help participants digest feedback in a more meaningful way.
What Can We Learn From Horses?
Horses consistently model assertiveness and teach us the same.
Horses can’t lie or overthink our motives, their feedback is honest.
Horses help instill empathy, patience and kindness in the participants.
Horses have distinct personalities and different methods of teaching.
Horses lead through assuredness – not force.
Horses react to feelings that put the herd at risk. In doing so, they show us when WE are feeling fear, frustration and confusion.
Horses’ natural herd behaviors require trust, respect and teamwork from all members of the team, including the humans!

Women's Workshops
Be True, Be Authentic, Be You! As women, we are constantly putting the needs of others before our own and end up feeling burned out and dissatisfied with our lives. We have a number of workshops and programs to support you in becoming the unique, beautiful, empowered woman that you are. Join a group of like-minded women on an empowering journey of self discovery and self awareness, or arrange a private program to support you to move forward in life with confidence, joy, courage and authenticity.
Corporate Programs
Our objectively driven programs offer more than a fun day out of the office. They are a powerful journey of teaching, learning and understanding. We can tailor a program for your employees to build skills in Leadership and Management, Communication, Negotiation, Choices, Team Building plus much more. Working with horses creates a unique memory that causes participants to remember the training far longer than sitting in a classroom.
Skills For Life Programs
Horses are prey animals and herd animals that seek leadership. They can differentiate between unsure or threatening behavior and calm assertiveness. Participants of our Skills for Life Programs, if open to the honest feedback provided by the horses, can learn to develop relationships, accept responsibility and accountability, overcome barriers to find change, and improve their listening and articulation skills.
