Equine Programs

Why Horses?

 

Horses are powerful partners in experiential learning, especially in equine-based leadership programs. As prey animals, they are highly attuned to their surroundings and the emotional energy of others, responding instinctively and living fully in the present. Within their herds, they communicate non-verbally, establish clear boundaries, and maintain purposeful social roles—offering a model of authentic, judgment-free interaction.


In leadership & team development, horses mirror human energy, revealing tension and encouraging presence, focus, and emotional regulation. Guided by their equine 'teachers,' participants learn to manage stress, stay grounded, and lead with clarity. Whether calming or awakening, each encounter is deeply personal—yet consistently transformative. Horses help people learn not just with their minds, but with their whole selves.

Equine Programs

Equine Facilitated Learning

 

The RPC program strengthens teamwork and leadership through hands-on learning with horses as intuitive partners. In a non-riding, ground-based setting, participants step outside their comfort zones to build skills in communication, active listening, problem solving, collaboration, empathy, and trust.


Key outcomes of equine-facilitated learning include:

  • Practicing mindfulness and presence
  • Releasing and grounding excess energy
  • Reading and responding to nonverbal cues
  • Prioritizing connection over perfection
  • Interpreting behavior as communication
  • Approaching challenges with curiosity
  • Establishing and honoring boundaries
  • Adopting others’ perspectives
  • Recognizing the impact of personal energy
  • Balancing compassion, vision, and assertiveness in leadership


Above all, participants gain a profound sense of peace and self-awareness through the horse-human connection.

Testimonials

What a transformational morning. I never imagined that participating in Equine Programs focused on Experiential Learning would transform me as a leader in my journey of Leadership Development.

The Equine Programs offered great experiential learning that truly pushed us out of our comfort zones, significantly contributing to our leadership development.

I encourage anyone who seeks true transformational leadership development to participate in these Equine Programs, as they offer genuine experiential learning opportunities that are the real deal!

Through the Equine Programs, I was able to be present in the moment, connect with others, and engage in experiential learning that fostered my leadership development, allowing me to operate in a state of peace versus stress.

After participating in the Equine Programs focused on Experiential Learning, I found myself with a greater emphasis on transferring positive energy rather than negative energy to my team, which is essential for effective Leadership Development.

What an amazing experience! I thought I was great at communicating and collaborating as a leader until I participated in Equine Programs that focused on experiential learning. This unique approach to leadership development truly challenged my skills.
