"It was fascinating ... communicating with someone who doesn’t speak in your language ....I found it extremely rewarding and I drove home with a smile on my face. There was no hiding place ...The horses behaved exactly how you treated them ....you couldn’t fake your relationship.

I would recommend it and it took coaching to a new place for me ...”

Client:        Skills Channel TV

“The day exceeded my expectations.  Lisa and Paul were highly effective in working with the group.  If you want to really understand communication, diversity and getting the best out of people AND want to enjoy yourself finding out – this is the event.”

Client:      University Northampton  

“I enjoyed the opportunity to identify my own learning objective, process the learning and of course the work with the horses.  It was a different, and valuable way of learning; well structured and paced, with a good balance of theory and practice. A completely different memorable way of learning; I had great sense of achievement and there were clear parallels to the “real world”.

“Lisa, thank you so very much for a wonderful day last week. You and Jo delivered such a professional and worthwhile event. Your facilitation was skilful and generous and really got the best from us.

Client:      People Tree Training  

“I am finding it hard to find the words. It was an experience that I will remember forever, I felt liked I danced with Zodiac. He trusted me and I was able to lead. We also had fun.….the experience can really get you in touch with your senses at the deepest level provided you trust your instincts and can go with them.”

Client:      Winkworth

“The facilitators both equine and human were fantastic.  I loved “the out of the box thinking” , which challenged my beliefs.  The debrief session with live business scenarios has given me new strategies to handle some of my business issues.”

“This is a unique course which offers a different perspective on improving teamwork and communication with others.  The facilitation was absolutely fantastic; you are clearly passionate about what you do and it shows and is inspirational…thank you so very, very much, today has meant more to me than I can put into words and has helped both professionally and personally.”

Client:      Uniq Prepared Foods

“I most valued the way in which we were able to interact – completely honestly; together with the level of detail and the ability to put the theory into practice. A great way of understanding negotiation… The questionnaire feedback sheet gave an insight into my personality preferences and the tasks throughout the day enabled me to envisage using them back in the workplace. Working with the horses as an educational tool makes the learning scenario more realistic. I would give it 100 points out of 10 – it was that good!”

Client:      RE/MAX

“Excellent!!  It was hard to understand how one tied in with the other (when we started) but by the close of the day I believe it was a great way of relating how to improve sales techniques.”

Client:      Personal Development Experiences

"I just wanted to say thanks for the experience on Saturday, it made a big impact on me…. When I got back home I kept reflecting on the experience and my style of leadership, both at work, with my family and myself, actually all aspects of my life really”. DN

“Thank you for inviting me to an amazing day, I enjoyed it on so many levels.  The environment, the horses, the people, my personal learning, the fun, I could go on and on…  You have a fabulous place.” MZ

“A great way to learn about communication without prejudices and beliefs getting in the way.” EM

“The opportunity to interact with creatures with no “baggage” in their willingness or otherwise to co-operate allowed me to draw so many parallels with my personal relationships.  Thank you for a life changing experience.” JD

“Some light bulb moments for me!  This course has enabled me to become a more effective communicator at all levels.” AB

“I felt I must write and congratulate you on organising an amazing and most fulfilling day that has provided great added value not only for me but it was clear that others were also pulling the things they learnt from their horse whispering experience and transferring them into business and improved leadership solutions….The course emphasised the importance of non verbal communication and there was so much to be learnt about having a plan, clear goals, situational leadership, assertiveness, emotional intelligence etc. etc…It was a privilege to attend your course and I would like to acknowledge my appreciation. Once again many thanks.” KW

“Thank you, once again, for the lovely experience with the horses.  You're a great teacher and facilitator….I wanted to give you some feedback (I dislike that word intensely) - let's call it what I recognised as the gifts I have received from the experience and would like to reflect back to you.
Horses reflect people who need each other.  We are also pack animals.  Working with horses meant we didn't have to concentrate on the verbal aspect of communication - which is a very small percentage anyway.  So concentration on giving out energy that draws the horse towards our own intention is profound.  I learned that although the horse is far larger and stronger than I am (it could probably kill me) I have the power to influence its direction.  The horse needs to be led and its positive response is therefore the interaction between my positive intention and the horse's.  While the horse is serving me by following, I am serving it by providing its guidance.  Therefore, my purposeful leadership is a gift to the horse and I am its servant-leader.” JC
