Personal and professional development

Equine-Assisted Learning is an innovative and effective approach to personal and professional development.  Because it uses horses as partners in the learning process. It is a unique and powerful tool that can help people and groups of all ages and backgrounds learn new skills, develop self-awareness, and build stronger relationships.

Here are some of the key benefits of Equine Assisted Learning:

  1. Improved communication skills: Horses are incredibly attuned to your non-verbal communication.  This means when you are working with horses they can help anyone become more aware of their own body language.  Being aware of your own body language and tone will improve your ability to communicate effectively with others.
  2. Increased self-awareness: Horses are honest mirrors of our emotions and intentions.  So when you are working with them can help you become more aware of your own emotional state and develop greater emotional intelligence.  A better understanding of yourself therefore will help you understand others.  
  3. Enhanced leadership and teamwork skills: Horses are social animals that rely on strong leadership and teamwork to survive.  So when you are working with a horse you need to be their leader.  When you are working with them they will show you how.  It then becomes easier to understand how you develop your own leadership and teamwork skills.
  4. Reduced stress and anxiety: There is a lot of evidence about how spending time with horses has a calming effect on the human nervous system, which in turn can help you reduce stress and anxiety.  
  5. Fun and engaging: Equine Assisted Learning is a fun and engaging way to learn new skills.  It is a great way to develop personal and professional insights. It’s a unique and memorable experience that can help you build confidence and self-esteem.
  6. Experiential Learning: Equine Assisted Learning is a practical way to engage in problem-solving skills that stick with you for life.   

In summary, Equine Assisted Learning is a powerful and effective approach to personal and professional development.  In other words, it is a program that can help individuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds learn new skills, develop self-awareness, and build stronger relationships. If you’re interested in improving your communication skills, possibly developing your leadership abilities, or even reducing stress and anxiety, Equine Assisted Learning may be the perfect solution for you.

I See You A Beautiful Life Lesson

I See You A Beautiful Life Lesson

“I See You” a beautiful life lesson. It’s from the Avatar movie.

In the movie Avatar to greet someone with “I see you” was an expression of greeting with an open heart and an open mind to be in the present moment. I see you physically and spiritually.

When you really see someone, you see all of them. You see their love, you see their soul, you acknowledge them in their entirety. I wonder if in our crazy world if we started trying to greet people with “I see you” how different it would be.

When you find someone special in your life and they stop and look at you when they really see you. You know, you are being seen, you can feel it.

I am going to make an effort to stop, especially now, and really see people I know and love.  Being really open in the moment to see who is in front of you.

  • How is their presence making you feel?
  • What do they look like? Are they well presented or look like they have just gotten out of bed?
  • How is their energy presenting at that moment? Are they calm or are they fidgeting?
  • Do they look or sound tired or excited?
  • Are they smiling but making you feel sad?
  • How is the tone in the voice?
  • How is their stance or their body language and what is that saying to you?

When you ask yourself questions about the person and the presence in front of you, your curiosity helps you.

Paying attention to all the details will help you be present and really be able to say “I see you”, a beautiful life lesson.

I wonder if you can spend a minute or two and say “I see you” to someone special and see what it feels like.

I dare you to try.
