Horse Guided Coaching

Working with the Horses

Leadership and team development work using horse guides is provocative, generative, developmental, and powerful.   It enriches self-awareness, helps remove blind spots, fosters creativity, innovation,  and productivity while improving human relationships for individuals and groups. Two resources that provide more in-depth are here:

  • Horse-guided work uses the sensitivity and  sensibility of horses, one of the most successful prey animals on the earth.  In horse-guided coaching experiences, you do not ride the horses.  Safety is foremost in all horse-guided coaching work.

Deb is now scheduling horse-guided coaching demonstrations for individual leadership development  It’s a great way to experience leader & learner development and coaching support.
