These experiences give teams practical tools to succeed together and build lasting connections.

What to Expect: Equine-Facilitated Learning (EFL)

EFL is a fast-growing, sought-after approach to team development, offering hands-on learning with horses in a natural setting. Through equine-assisted activities, your team will practice skills that are essential for effective leadership and teamwork—building rapport, communicating with intention, and developing resilience. Each exercise reveals valuable insights into personal leadership styles, fosters self-awareness, and cultivates collaboration toward shared goals.

Leadership Development

Effective leadership today requires authenticity, clarity, and the ability to inspire. Working with horses teaches these qualities in a powerful way. Horses respond only to genuine leadership and will follow a leader they trust. This experience is memorable, impactful, and immediately applicable to your team’s professional and personal relationships.

The Art of Non-Predatory Leadership

In a world where leadership is evolving, our workshops emphasize a non-predatory approach—leading through integrity, clear communication, and respect rather than dominance. Participants learn to set boundaries, motivate others, and communicate intentions with a 1,200-pound horse, enhancing their ability to build respect and cooperation in all relationships.

Core Skills Developed in EFL Workshops:

  • Setting Healthy Boundaries – Learn how to communicate with firmness and clarity.
  • Clear, Non-Verbal Communication – Discover the power of non-verbal cues, a key skill since over 90% of communication is non-verbal.
  • Empowered Decision-Making – Cultivate confidence in making timely, thoughtful decisions.
  • Non-Predatory Leadership – Lead with respect and collaboration, focusing on cooperation over compliance.
  • Relationship Over Task – Build a team culture that prioritizes connection and shared purpose.

Equine-Facilitated Learning provides an unparalleled opportunity for leaders to step into an authentic style of guidance that engages and inspires. When leaders access the right balance of integrity and authority, horses reflect that back, reinforcing a leader’s confidence and strengthening their ability to lead others in both business and life.
