Equine guided development
Equine Guided Development (EGD) is a series of experiments allowing us to access our authenticity and power. It can make a real difference to how people learn and be powerful in shaping the brave leaders and teams we need in today's world.
Unencumbered by common human psychological frailties, horses respond to their ‘clients’ without judgment and provide instant, honest feedback on their behaviour and impact.
Real play, not role play.
Why horses?
By interacting with our intuitive horse herd, participants gain unique insights that directly enhance leadership skills. Horses naturally help you recognise and refine your non-verbal communication and leadership presence. This real-time learning accelerates personal and professional growth by deepening your understanding of how others perceive and react to your actions. Such experiences not only boost your adaptability but also improve your ability to effectively respond to changing situations, ensuring you thrive in any role.
Key outcomes / benefits
Accelerated learning
Our Equine Guided Development programmes provides accelerated learning with the ability for participants to test, experiment and play with leadership model theory.
Improved efficiency
Horses act as mirrors, reflecting the true nature of how we present ourselves. This helps us address not just our perceptions but the actual issues that need our attention, enabling more effective personal growth and self-awareness.
Deeply impactful profound experience
Working with horses can evoke a deep emotional response. Many clients find that participating in our equine programmes has an impactful experience beyond their expectations – sometimes even life changing.

Testimonials
"Having been part of many leadership programmes and courses it has given me a new perspective on leadership through the feedback from our equine partners. Focusing on being grounded and centred throughout the programme facilitated more mindful and reflective actions. I particularly liked how calming the experience was, which made the lessons and learning extremely powerful."
Martha Foley
Head of Client Operations, Inspirational Development Group
"Your leadership programme is truly transformational and during our reflection the days after, everyone expressed how they were so touched and filled with gratitude. This will give us great tools to use for our coming follow up sessions on leadership and teamwork.
From a personal perspective I cannot thank you enough, I did not now what to expect but it was awe-inspiring and will help me grow as a leader."
