Experience yourself through the eyes of a horse
Horses are profound beings who have as much to teach us as we can teach them. They live from their heart and can show us how to do the same. Something magical happens when horses and humans come together. Through specially designed interactive experiences the dynamic and powerful horse serves as our guide in human growth, learning and development. These intelligent and sensitive creatures respond in both positive and negative changes in human behavior, offering constant feedback providing participants the opportunity to learn valuable life lessons. Workshops involve exercises that are specifically developed to enhance self confidence through validating, hands-on experiences.
As our guides, horses can't judge or over think a person's motives or manipulate their interpretations. Their sensitivity to nonverbal communication authentically reflects emotion through observable and physical feedback. The interactive experiences with the horse help promote healing and growth by - promoting a greater understanding of self and others, learning to communicate more effectively, enhancing self-esteem, reconnection with your innate guidance system, changing perceptions, releasing blocks and limitations, moving past the coping strategies of merely surviving to thriving, developing trust, establishing limits and boundaries, building healthier relationships and enhancing self-authority allowing you to gain a sense of empowerment and reclaim your authenticity.

Why horses
Horses are social creatures who readily and honestly respond to the challenges inherent in forming and sustaining relationships. As animals preyed upon in nature, they have retained a highly developed ability to sense changes in the stance and arousal of other herd members; an ability they easily transfer to interactions with humans. Horses see through the slight incongruities of emotion and intention, yet are exceedingly patient and forgiving.
As herd animals, horses look for strong leadership and are only willing to follow after they find respect and trust. Horses respect the stringent outline of their hierarchy and team work is expected. They provide us with a striking view of how our leadership skills and team work measure up.
The shear size and power of the horse is naturally intimidating to many people, which creates a natural opportunity for participants to overcome fears and develop confidence and provides wonderful metaphors for facing intimidating and challenging situations in life.
