  • Horses are very effective teachers, providing personal insight and awareness, and encouraging self-improvement through transformational learning.
  • This is an incredibly powerful process of self-discovery that creates an internal shift in our belief system and catalyzes an “inside-out” shift in worldviews.

An action never before considered becomes a reality. Once you tap into this internal well of possibility, you will be amazed at the results you achieve!

Why Horses?
Horses have proven to be incredible teachers of leadership and team work. Respect as a leader is earned by the presence that we bring to our relationships, and the clarity from which we act. Horses insist on knowing who is leading each step of the way, and that we are purposeful and centered within ourselves. This program will have a profound and lasting impact on your understanding of what makes a true leader, and will dramatically improve your leadership skills. You will also be reminded of the importance of bringing humour, fun, and play into the workplace.

We have worked with leaders, teams, individuals, and entrepreneurs from Intrawest Properties, eBay, University of Fraser Valley, Fraser Health Authority, BC Hydro, City of Vancouver, Canfor, RCMP, and the Justice Institute. Leaders and teams who have experienced this program continue to provide feedback many weeks and months after about the powerful learning they experienced with the horses. 

These types of programs are being offered all over the world including Canada, US, Europe, Asia, and South America. Leading universities use this work in their leadership programs and it is also used by medical students and other healthcare students at institutions such as Stanford Medical School to teach interns bedside manner in a professional, sensitive, perceptive, confident, and authentic manner.  Horse facilitated learning programs are quickly gaining credibility as one of the most incredible experiential learning programs available.
