Equine-assisted coaching is …
... fast.
The horse and the environment appeal to many senses and address the emotional sphere. Especially the initial analysis of the current situation is thus accelerated to the maximum compared to coaching without a horse. Horses are flight animals and perceive the smallest changes in behaviour more quickly than humans and respond to them immediately.
... effective.
When we are with horses, we are in a natural and perfect learning environment. In the proximity of the animals, our body releases the hormone oxytocin, which helps us to access feelings and bodily sensations more easily. This makes us more receptive to our environment and ourselves.
... neutral.
Horses, unlike us humans, evaluate every situation one hundred percent neutrally, without bias and, above all, always anew. They have no projections towards us humans. For this reason, they do not react to our disguises, learned behavioural patterns, self-dramatizing or manipulations.
… long-lasting.
The particularly lasting effect comes from the striking and often imposing way in which horses mirror their counterparts and thus trigger the reflection process. Learning on all levels, that is by observing, feeling, interacting and above all by experience, leads to a deep impact on consciousness.

CV
Our Horses
Your Co-Coaches
ELMO
Lusitano gelding, born 2009
Elmo is extremely sensitive and a rather reserved horse. As a dressage horse he is trained up to Grand Prix. He learns very fast and remembers everything! In coaching he shows a lot of sensitivity and “understanding”.
EGIPCIO
Lusitano stallion, born 2009
Gipci is absolutely fearless in all areas. He is already experienced in competitions up to the high class of dressage. He coaches very convincingly together with the trainer, but also likes to receive clear instructions.
Lilly
Trakehner mare, born 2008
Lilly is a beautiful and lovable mare. She loves interacting with people and coaches very clearly and directly. Although she is high in the blood, almost nothing can upset her during coaching.
Happy Harald
Mini Shetland pony, born 2005
Happy Harald is our Mini Shetland pony. With his small size, he is well suited for coaching with children and people who are afraid of horses. However, he should not be underestimated. Happy Harald is a full member of the coaching family and has a very strong character.
PIRILAMPO
Lusitano mare, born 2020
Piri is our trainee in coaching. She is a highly motivated and very calm young mare which makes her an excellent choice for co-coaching. Pirilampo is very direct and clear in her behaviour. Soon she will start her job and will be available for personal and team trainings
Note!
All our horses are used to working with people on a daily basis. The safety of our clients is a top priority in our coaching sessions. However, horses are flight animals, and we kindly ask our guests and clients to ALWAYS follow the instructions of the human coaches and staff, in any situation. Please let us know BEFORE the start of the coaching session if you are afraid of horses or if anything causes you concern.
