Why Partner with Horses?
Horses are beautiful, powerful, sentient beings. As animals of prey, horses have survived for millions of years through their highly tuned instincts and sensitive energetic intelligence. They appear in our folklore, and have partnered with us throughout history and in war. Equine Facilitated Leadership is a new way for horses to partner with us.
Attuned to non-verbal communication. You have to really pay attention to know what the horse is reflecting back to you.
They will tell you if they want to follow you and your vision. Through this feedback participants gain valuable insights into their internal processes and interpersonal interactions.
They will always tell you exactly what they think and feel. To gain their trust participants must be authentic, clear and honest. Awakening your ability to connect with the horses allows you to understand yourself and access your personal power and resources.
What Do We Offer?
Leadership coaching for personal or professional development is provided by trained facilitators in partnership with our horse coaches. Workshops are custom designed for groups and corporate teams. Through experiences with the horses teams work together towards a common goal, improve communication skills, move through conflict and empower team members. *Private coaching sessions are designed for the individual client.
Participants will Experience:
- Goal setting and motivation
- Confidence building
- Innovation and creative thinking
- Problem solving
- Empathy and Authenticity

How Do We Work with the Horses?
The facilitators guide the participants through structured equine assisted activities. The workshops are custom designed to address the particular goals of each group, with a leadership focus. The workshops can be half-day, single day, or multi-day programs. All activities are unmounted, no prior horse or riding experience is required.
Coaching with horses is experiential allowing for a mind/body connection that can be transformational. Horses help us:
- To be present
- To get to an issue quickly, feel our emotions
- Set boundaries
- Discover our leadership style
- Feel confident
- Understand the Four-Diamond model of leadership responsibilities
Where are we Located?
Equine Facilitated Coaching sessions and workshops are privately contracted and held nationally at farms with our strategic partners, normally within an hour or two of most major cities. We select environments that are suited to engage safely in experiential learning through interactions with a talented and experienced herd of horses.
Serving clients nationally
Who are your Facilitators?
Corporate teams and group workshops are facilitated by Melba Holliday, Certified Equine Facilitated Leadership Coach and supported by trained horse handlers and/or co-facilitators. Melba is the East Coast Hub Leader for Teaching Horse and The Four-Diamond Model of Leadership, created by nationally recognized expert June Gunter. Teaching Horse has dozens of certified equine experts located nationally who serve as facilitation partners. Our approach to this work stems from our beliefs that an active hands on experience in a safe and giving environment creates palpable potential for individuals to shift to positive change in their lives.
