About Us
“If you can effectively lead a horse, you can effectively lead people.”
Leadership through Horsemanship™ is designed to help businesses unleash the potential in their staff and others to cultivate high-performing team members. Whether leading people or horses; both require strong leadership, clear, consistent communication; and a keen awareness of the needs and goals of the individual or group

Communication is the key but more importantly it is comprehension. Horses React to What You "Say," not What You Think You "Say."
Become a more versatile communicator who can mobilize others by undertaking leadership challenges and self-assessment.
Understanding your equine partner's reactions provide opportunities to explore our own issues quickly and effectively.
“If a horse trusts you, they’ll do anything we ask of them as long as they understand what we’re asking.”
When partnering with a horse, you will learn to lead with focus, direction and movement toward your clearly defined goal. Facing challenges with horses prepares you for leadership roles in your workplace. You will learn to recognize subtle opportunities for success that might otherwise go unseen.
