Equine Assistant Coaching for Families


Sarah has the great pleasure to be working with David Harris to offer Equine Assisted Coaching (working with Horses) for Families.

What is Equine Assistant Coaching

Equine Guided Leadership Development (yes it does have a posh name) is a powerful experiential approach for developing personal skills in action, by working in partnership with horses.

Because horses are extremely canny herd animals that only respond well to good, congruent leadership, they instinctively challenge weak leaders. They don’t have a personal agenda. They just respond to who and how you are at any moment. Believe it or not, human-to-human communication is 93% non-verbal, yet most education and training concentrates on the remaining 7%, words. The remaining 93% is largely neglected. This means there is enormous scope to achieve a lot, even with just a little work on that 93%. This is what makes horses pertinent, as 100% of their communication is non-verbal and they don’t understand words, so you can’t smooth-talk them, play politics with them or hoodwink them. They are big and powerful and can’t be intimidated….a bit like teenagers and children then, really!

How can it help out Family?
