I will be forever changed by this programme.

A favourite where true learning and transformation occurs.
Leadership development programme sponsor
I believe in the concept of connectedness as fundamental to leadership and the work with the horses demonstrated and taught this better than anything I have come across.
Leadership development programme participant
Mind blowing!
Leadership development participant
Took me to a place where I didn’t have the answer. Was able to learn how to be present and find a solution within myself.
Leadership development participant
The most memorable learning experience I have had.
Leadership development participant
A deeply felt emotional experience on many levels.
Leadership development participant
Not only did the experience make my challenge crystal clear, it also gave me the solution at the same time. A solution that was simple and inspiring.
Chris Howe, ChangeMaker International
Through the horses I discovered confidence in my innate ability to be a good leader, separate to all the theories and models.
Governor, HM Prison Service
Working with horses in this way is gentle, inspirational, deeply profound and a life-changing approach to personal and professional development. The horse is perhaps one of the wisest teachers I have ever known.
Independent Consultant
I learned the true meaning of trust and respect and how to gain them just by being myself authentically. I shall approach every person, every day, all day as if I am approaching a horse.
Operations Manager - MAN Truck and Bus UK Ltd
On the 5-hour drive home I didn't stop smiling the whole way. This sense of liveliness and energy has lasted a long time and reminded me that work should be fun.
Regional Director Sales, Automotive industry
With the horses there is nowhere to hide as they suss you out straight away and respond to you accordingly. And strangely, as well as feeling really challenged by all this I also felt peaceful.

AUTHENTIC SELF AS LEADER programme
This is one of the best training courses I have participated in – the team of trainers were fantastic, created calmness throughout. The horses were so gracious.
Firstly, I would like to say thank you for the last two days training. There comes a point when you can become cynical about training courses and have a ‘heard it all before ‘ attitude. The last two days certainly knocked that out of me.
The most unique yet powerful training course I have ever attended. I have learned so many things by using my feelings and emotions. The experience has opened my eyes to the different between just managing and leading.

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you - I flew home much calmer than normal. I am an NLP practitioner so I understand physiology and state but trying to use that on oneself can be tough in my experience! Working with the horses makes everything so clear and obvious.
This was such an unforgettable experience – I’m so much more confident taking on new aspects of my role. And setting boundaries with the business more clearly and assertively is really helping me to coach them into doing what they should be doing.

DEVELOPING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS programme
Marvellous. The strength of connections to be able to feel and help/influence others. Also brilliant feedback interactions, and wonderful exercise on how connecting enables trust and confidence in light of challenges (the blindfold).
An eye-opener for me – first time I experienced presence physically.
Great session and incredible experience!! Loved it!! Would want to do even more and train up a horse all day.
The facilitators were wise and helpful at letting us take the lead to create our experience.

Courageous Leadership programme
I thought I’d share with you some of the feedback I have witnessed following the last module. I have been ambushed repeatedly by delegates -their energy and passion is UNBELIEVABLE and a number of them have called the event life-changing!
Thanks both for a fab couple of days! It was an incredible event which we all felt privileged to experience. However, I’m now suffering separation anxiety from my equine friends.
That was nothing short of amazing.
The two days genuinely surprised me. I have shared my experience with a wide number of colleagues and the experience will stay with me forever.
Genuinely life changing, it’s been the best course and use of time ever.
