Every coach is passionate about providing the best care to their clients, which is why it’s important to adapt in order to support them. Partnering with horses through equine assisted learning helps you upgrade your coaching method so you can stand out from the crowd.

Not only are equine assisted modalities beneficial for you – by improving your communications skills and emotional intelligence. Equine assisted coaching and learning helps your clients heal in a more natural and fulfilling way.

How do coaches, consultants and mental health professionals benefit from equine assisted learning?

As coaching is the second fastest growing industry in the U.S., it’s important to be able to stand out in this noisy field of competitors.

With equine assisted learning, you upskill your emotional and social intelligence, compassion, and ability to connect to others in a way that you can’t find anywhere else.

Why is this?

Horses are highly empathetic and calming creatures that are 100% honest about how they feel in the moment. As herd animals, they form deep-rooted connections and are able to read their environment to escape danger, communicate, comfort one another, and maintain harmony within their herd.

These are amazing skills to have as an individual and as someone who aims to support and help others. Honing in on these areas will enable you to provide a better level of understanding and empathy. Horses can also teach us about connection and community!

If you are looking to co-create powerful transformation for clients, then adding this powerful and innovative modality to your toolkit will give you a higher footing in the field of personal and professional development.

Another way horses can enhance your business is through generating an additional income stream. You will be providing a niche service that is unlike what other businesses offer and has a unique appeal to potential clients.

How will equine assisted coaching benefit your clients?

Nature and horses are a powerful duo that allows for self-reflection, greater awareness, and a level of calm that cannot compare to traditional coaching or mental health methods.

There are many things that horses can help clients with – including interpersonal communication and teamwork.

For example, the heightened self- awareness and self-reflection realized through working with horses helps your clients understand what makes them tick, what challenges them, and what motivates them in life. By partnering with horses, you help your clients grow into their best selves, consciously creating an environment in which they can thrive.

Self-awareness will allow your clients to realize the areas where they can improve, looking inward to find out who they really are or who they want to become.

If you are interested in growing your revenue stream, enhancing your coaching practice, or providing a modality as a mental health professional, then equine assisted learning may be for you.

Have you ever sat down after a long day of leadership training and wondered what exactly you did or spent all your money and time on? You aren’t the only one — especially if the training isn’t out-of-the-box enough. Contrary to popular belief, more than 90% of human communication is non-verbal, which explains why many of us find it challenging to retain the information we learn when traditional teaching methods are employed.
