Unleash Your Team’s Strengths Through Equine-Assisted Professional Development

Why Horses?
Horses are intuitive, honest, and responsive only to the energy you present—regardless of your role or title. Their presence helps break down barriers, shift perspectives, and surface unconscious patterns that often hinder growth and collaboration.
In the company of horses, teams connect on a deeper level, unlocking new ways of thinking and working.
“We learnt a lot about each other in a short time and got some fresh air just outside the city. A great way to shift perspective—I would recommend it to anyone.”
– Donncha Foley, Development Manager, Galway Volunteer Centre
“It brought us out of our comfort zones and gave us space to support each other in new ways. We highly recommend this experience.”
– Ann Dunne, White Gables, Moycullen
What to Expect
Each session starts with gentle, non-threatening introductions and creative tasks, followed by interactive exercises with the horses—such as navigating an obstacle course. The facilitators observe group dynamics and horse responses, guiding reflection and discussion during classroom segments.
Our flexible approach ensures that every session meets the unique needs of your team, with horses often guiding the process to the heart of the issue.
Let your team reach their Full Potential—with horses.
