Coaching with Horses
A well-developed awareness for the interactions and dynamics between oneself and others is key to effective leadership. Our coaching with horses strengthens this awareness and provides learning opportunities with immediate, unbiased feedback.
Why Horses?
Horses don’t wear masks. They recognise and react to whatever is under the masks we are wearing.
- Horses are social beings, living naturally within hierarchies.
- They are powerful non-predatory animals.
- They mirror human emotions.
- They make visible the effects of unconscious behaviour.
- They react strongly to non-verbal communication.
- They communicate non-verbally and therefore respond to our non-verbal communication.
Within a coaching process, it can be helpful to physically leave your “normal” environment and your headspace for a few sessions and experience yourself with these powerful animals. The work with horses quickly shows up strengths and challenges. It helps us focus on what is relevant right now. The coach supports you in your reflection during and after the experience, as you implement new patterns in your work / life context.

A good place to start may be to join Layo for a “Reflective Explorations in the Paddock” session. These 2h sessions are intended to support you on your journey to self-knowledge and growth by looking at how the systems in which you live (family, organisation, relationships) appear in the present moment. Come and explore…
… take time to breathe…
… practice awareness…
… listen to your own thoughts and feelings…
… experience yourself in connection with what is…
… see what the horses represent or reflect for you…
… and integrate it all in your own time, in the way that works for you.
