Interaction with horses gives us the benefit of instant feedback without filters, that allows us to see our own attitudes reflected more clearly and quickly. The horses act as mirrors of our emotions and attitudes. The instruction, given in our special environment, helps us disconnect from daily routines and connect more intensely with ourselves. Thus we become aware in less time, and in a deeper and more natural way.

  • Consistent communication and leadership

Assisted coaching with horses is based on the structures of classical coaching, but it has its own methodology. Incorporating horses into coaching makes the process a fully dynamic experience, a lasting memory.

Companies can always benefit from improved leadership and teamwork.

In one class you can teach people skills. Most already know them but do not know to what extent they can applied. The theory does not impact, nor lose time. We see our behavior with a horse within 20 minutes.
An executive who was talking with his wife about the day and the horses told her, that for the first time, he became aware within 30 minutes that he was not very assertive, and this wasn’t helping his job. And his wife told him that she had told him that for 20 years.

“What we hear, we forget
what we see, we remember
and what we experience, we learn“

How do the coaching sessions with horses work?

Horse coaching dynamics are always groundwork and liberty, not ridden — no previous experience is required!

Connection and communication with the horse must be established at the start a session. We will work with you to achieve it. Then the horse will normally be attentive to us. But if it isn’t, it will give us feedback to let us know which abilities we must exercise to establish the connection.

During this interaction, with the coach’s help, the student learns to recognize the horse’s feedback about its emotional state and its intentions. This information inspires students to reflect upon new possibilities to apply to their daily routine.

The why is not important, but the how, in the work of assisted horse coaching. One does not ask whether an action was good or bad. The question is, how do we act to resolve an issue; how do we think, and what resources have we used.

Thematic dynamics for the session will be chosen depending on the selected subject, on the way the participants interact with the horses, among themselves, and with the group.

The participant is completely protected from the surroundings, the coach, and above all from the horse, who does not pass any judgment, it just reacts.

I can achieve here in one session what I would take one week in the classroom…. intense work happens because the horse is extremely sensitive and gives us immediate feedback, without filters. They are great mirrors of ourselves, showing us exactly the effect of our behavior. You can do this with a video but it would take much more time.

Why work with the Farriols Horses?

3 years old Lotus and LimonThe horses, because of their nature as prey animals, have developed the capacity to interpret their environment efficiently.
This natural sensitivity, added to the qualities of the Farriols horses, who trust of people and are predisposed to communicate, gives participants a unique learning experience.

What do the horses bring to the training?

  • They act as a mirror of our emotions and states of mind. They tell us how we are and what we transmit moment by moment.
  • They give us a true and immediate feedback
  • They do not judge us
  • They make us be present
  • They transmit calm and serenity to us
  • They increase our sensitivity and perception of the environment
  • They help us reflect upon and connect with ourselves
  • They teach us the importance of constancy, coherency, and adequacy
  • Living the experience makes us feel and observe our emotions, making and the process of change easier.
  • They constantly require good leadership, and show us the qualities necessary to achieve it

Maybe leadership is born through body language and in the heart, and not so much in the brain.
