Why work with horses for leadership and self development?

Horses are an ancient universal archetypal symbol in the human psyche representing dignity, honor, a rise in status, strength, power and spiritual or magical, mystical transportation to other worlds.

Horses as guides in the personal discovery and growth process offer simple yet deeply engaging exercises for cultivating abilities to concentrate, clarify goals, gain confidence and relate ('to bring back') effectively with self-other-world. The horse's presence perturbs our somatic (whole mind-body-spirit) system, and energizes us to bring back our own sense of freedom, choice and power.

By partnering with people and allowing us to become part of their herd, horses can help us understand partnership, positive leadership, effective communication and teamwork in a whole new way. Over a decade of pamedwardresearch and practice has proven that participants from all walks of life grow and learn through experiential exercises with horses.

Horses & Pathfinders provides a safe, supportive and comfortable environment for you to learn about yourself, make new choices and hone skills relevant to you, your relationships, business, career and lifestyle.

Why are the listening and reflections of the horse effective?

  • Non judgmental
  • Non sentimental
  • Patiently resilient
  • Listens to energy, quality of our inner state, and other sources of information
  • Hears what is inside - more important than what person is expressing outside
  • Senses internal conflict, lack of confidence, doubt and self judgment
  • Pays attention to human when he/she is authentic brenda
  • Shares social dynamic and strategies - like humans, predisposed to engage in relationship
  • Responds naturally with curiousity and trust - like humans, a natural state of being
  • Asks, "Are you with me?" calling us to be present and mindful


What does the coach do?

  • Observes and reflects the horses’ responses to you
  • Offers powerful, grounded assessments
  • Creates and holds safe, exploratory space for human and horse
  • Offers possibilities for deliberate, gradual change
  • Teaches manifesting the life you want to lead


What should I prepare for?

  • All learning happens on the ground.
  • No riding experience necessary - in fact we do not ride horses in most exercises.
  • All that is required is a willingness and openness to learn, grow and take lead of your life

The combination of coach and horse offers unique, potent, experiential exercises geared towards unveiling a person's self awareness, magnetism and direction.

When you discover the limitless person that you are - your character, unique expression and value - you will be better able to understand, appreciate and empathize with others; make sound and clear choices in your relationships, business, career and life; truly live out the heart and meaning in your life; and reclaim your natural joy, harmony and alignment in this world.
