Equus Coaching is a unique experience with horses that offers individuals the opportunity to gain a visceral understanding of how their inner dialogue affects their relationships and everyday life. Equus Coaching is a transformational experience that enables a person to shift from internal confusion and conflict to personal alignment and flow.

Equus Coaches work in dynamic partnership with horses to create a playful, open, and authentic environment where clients can dramatically enhance their self-awareness. Horses are keenly intuitive and attuned to people’s slightest expressions as well as any changes in their energy or emotions. Therefore, they can help people identify and clear internal roadblocks so that they can move toward a more fulfilling life experience.

During an Equus Coaching session, clients receive clear and grounded biofeedback that connects them to their own inner truth. This environment encourages clients to synchronize with the natural rhythms and wisdom of nature while witnessing the ease with which they can step into their essential power.

The coach will help the client to identify a specific area of life or pattern that they would like support with. As the client interacts with the horse, the coach helps the client to notice the feedback from the horse and assists the client in interpreting what that means and how to apply the feedback to the specific situation the client started the session with. This helps the client to notice how they are showing up, create a shift if they would like to, and practice that new way of being with the horse, all while being supported by their coach.

In short, Equus Coaching is a story of transformation.

No, this is all ground work. There’s no riding involved and no prior experience with horses is needed.

The horses are not trained to perform specific routines or tasks in the pen. They are trained to be safe around people. Our horses are still sensitive to herd instinct and nature, and we encourage horses and humans to work together with natural instincts. 

Please ask to see our one-page handout for a detailed overview. There’s no set formula for sessions, it depends on the direction the client wants to take, as well as horse feedback. Clients will receive a take-home packet to document their reflections and redefined personal and professional goals.

Equus Coaching sessions can quickly and effectively create a great deal of movement or shift in a client’s progress.

If a client has been working in therapy and would benefit from an experiential component to assist the client’s progress, licensed mental health professionals may consider equine-assisted activities as an adjunct or complementary modality.

There are several ways to collaborate: a) the therapist may refer their client to an Equus Coach for one or more sessions, b) the therapist may wish to observe the Equus Coaching session and be present to support the client, c) the therapist may wish to co-facilitate the session with an Equus Coach, or d) the therapist may wish to become a Certified Equus Coach in order to offer their own Equus Coaching sessions to complement the psychotherapy or talk therapy.

Yes, absolutely! Combining advanced life coaching techniques with the powerful effects of working with a horse in this way will move you. Clients have reported that one session of Equus Coaching is just as effective, or more effective, than several sessions of traditional talk therapy. Of course, the client’s willingness to be vulnerable and actively participate in their own healing process also determines how impactful the session will be.
