Frequently Asked Questions

Who are these programs designed for?

Executives, managers, business owners, teams, educators, healthcare professionals, first responders, and individuals seeking personal growth.

How do horses develop leadership skills?

Unlike people, horses provide immediate feedback about communication, emotional regulation, presence, and trust.  A horse does not know how to hide their feelings of trust and safety.  Horses also have the innate ability to know what is going on both consciously and subconsciously with a human and mirror that back in their behavior.  

Is horse experience required?

No previous horse experience is required.  All activities are completed from the ground with the horses - there is no riding involved.  The exercises chosen are designed based on the outcomes you are looking for. 

What is HeartMath training?

HeartMath is a science-based system that helps people regulate stress, improve resilience, and increase heart rate variability.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes and Yes.  Safety is a primary concern working with horses.  

How do you design a program?

My process is slightly different than most.  I work backwards!  I want to have a deep conversation to fully understand what problem you are wanting to solve.  Is it a leadership issue, a communication issue, or is it a growth issue or question. I want to make sure as we co-create a program we have enough stakeholders involved in the process to generate a meaningful solution.  This goes way beyond a fun day at the ranch!
