What is Equine Assisted Coaching?
Equine Assisted Coaching is an experiential learning method that uses horses to develop key leadership and communication skills. Through guided, non-riding interactions, participants receive real-time, honest feedback from horses-helping to uncover patterns, strengths, and blind spots in how they lead and relate to others.
Do I need horse experience to take part?
Not at all. No riding or prior horse knowledge is required. All exercises take place on the ground and are safely guided by certified EAHAE (International Association for Horse Assisted Education) instructors.
How can horses help me lead better?
Horses are natural experts in non-verbal communication. They react instantly to body language, presence, and intention-making them ideal partners for practicing clear, authentic leadership. Their feedback is unbiased, direct, and deeply intuitive, helping you reflect on how you show up and how others may perceive you.
Is this a coaching or a leadership seminar?
Both. It’s a coaching-based experience with clear leadership development outcomes. Whether you’re leading teams, projects, or strategic initiatives, the sessions are tailored to help you grow in confidence, clarity, and communication.
What topics can be addressed in a session?
We customise each session based on your needs. Common themes include:
Leadership presence and style
Team communication and dynamics
Boundaries and trust
Decision-making under pressure
Self-awareness and emotional intelligence
What does a typical session look like?
A session may include a short theory input, a guided interaction with a horse, individual or team reflection, and coaching dialogue. The structure can vary-sessions are shaped around your goals, and horses are active participants in the learning process.
How safe is it to work with horses?
Very safe. Our horses are carefully selected for their temperament and are used to working with people. All sessions are led by certified instructors (EAHAE) with decades of experience in horse handling and people development. Safety is always a top priority.
Can I bring my team or is it only for individuals?
Both are possible. We offer individual coaching, team events, and leadership programs. Whether you’re a senior leader looking for personal growth or a company aiming to strengthen team performance, we’ll design a format that fits your needs.
What outcomes can I expect?
Participants often leave with clearer self-awareness, improved communication skills, and a stronger sense of leadership presence. The experiential nature of the work means the learning is not just understood – it’s felt, remembered, and applied.
Where do the sessions take place?
Our training takes place on our horse ranch, a spacious, natural setting in beautiful Andalusia/Spain. The facility includes open areas for horse work, quiet corners for reflection, and comfortable space for teams and individuals alike.
