“I had no idea how much information horses give. I became clearer about how I give and receive signals. I was profoundly touched by the power and delicacy of being with Manuelita. I will always remember our dance.”

  what  

Horse Spirit Connections offers you experiential programs that are a revolutionary way to develop leadership.  Horses are prey animals that move in herds.  Horses instinctively seek out and want to follow a trustworthy leader.  The leaders of the herd are typically calm, wise mares that guide the herd to survive daily threats from predators. Just as horses ‘earn’ their role as a leader, leadership in people is a learned skill.  This is developed through a commitment and practice of authenticity, integrity, trust, vision, and presence.

At Horse Spirit Connections, you become the leader of the horse.  Horses’ generosity of spirit and patience allows you to refine your leadership style and develop new skills that enhance the leadership you take home to your life and career. This dynamic leadership/team-building program is ideal for corporate and professional clients. 

Horses are consummate facilitators in the work of human development, acting as thousand pound biofeedback agents offering constant and instant feedback. Horses demand knowing who is leading at all times.  They don’t care about a person’s title; they are inspired by a person’s clarity of intent, presence and actions.  And because horses see through the slightest incongruities of emotion and intention, they help you re-examine habits and patterns that keep you from connecting in an authentic way.




Your ability to grow as a leader is based on your ability to grow as a person through self-awareness. To become self-aware you need to begin with self-discovery. 

  • How do you respond to pressure?
  • Are you leading your life or is it leading you?
  • How do you react to conflict?
  • How do you react when someone tries to dominate you?
  • What do you do when you make a mistake?
  • What is holding you back?  

Working with the horses explores the answers to these questions and provides tools to take back to the business world.  You will learn more than you could ever imagine – about yourself and others. You will rediscover your powerful authentic self. 

With the horses you will:

  • Reveal and enhance your current leadership style
  • Improve verbal and non-verbal communications skills
  • Develop emotional intelligence
  • Learn to set appropriate boundaries
  • Enhance teamwork skills
  • Improve decision-making skills
  • Learn the dance of consensual leadership
  • Promote and facilitate successful change

In business today, we need that something more – something to guide, to inspire and to motivate.  We need Great Leaders who lead with an open heart and a profound connection to others.
