The Level Two– Inspired Leadership with Horses training program provides coaches and instructors key activities to create unique opportunities for their clients to evolve leadership skills while interacting with horses.
Horses and Leadership
Authentic leadership requires a person to develop trust, timing, communication skills, and vision. One must learn to respect their instincts, listen to their higher wisdom, and lead from their heart while at the same time nurturing the wellbeing of others. Successful leaders require these skills to excel and accomplish their life purpose, mission, vision, or goal while guiding others to do the same. Integrating horses into this process provides an amazing new level of growth for business owners, managers, executives, parents, and anyone in a leadership role who wishes to experience accelerated learning in leadership and relationship development.
Facilitating Coaching with Horses sessions specifically designed to enhance leadership skills combine both the achievement of higher awareness levels and the deep integration of the mind, body, and spirit to manifest generative co-creative success. There is no better teacher than a horse to accomplish these goals.
Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching (EFLC) Level Two– Inspired Leadership with Horses
This training program involves a dynamic process of building leadership and self-awareness skills through horse-human interactions. You will learn to utilize specialized activities that enable your clients to identify and shift limiting thought and behavior patterns that have, until that point, prohibited them from developing genuine, trusting relationships and, ultimately, achieving the success they desire.
Why Horses? Horses are wise mentors in this unique type of work. As prey animals, their “flight” instincts become instant mirrors and non-judgmental feedback mechanisms for humans. A horse will subconsciously sense and respond to a person’s intentions, emotions, and thoughts through body language. Your clients, with your guidance, will learn how to communicate more effectively, face their fears and manage their feelings, and become more consistent and congruent with their actions.
Imagine the tremendous confidence boost from learning to connect with and direct a one-thousand-pound animal while standing on the ground. Sessions with horses are highly interactive and provide an in-the-moment learning experience and teaching skills, which can be challenging to acquire in more traditional settings.
Philosophy The Level Two– Inspired Leadership with Horses training program teaches facilitators and coaches to bring their clients in direct contact with a horse to discover and up-level their leadership style. Through processes that help them understand the nature of a horse, clients learn to pay attention to subtle body language, listen to emotional messages, focus on clear thoughts, and build confidence in achieving a goal. This integrative and spiritual relationship-building approach gives more immediate and lasting results in life and business than any traditional type of coaching.
Horses are intelligent sentient beings that know how to play without creating harm. Scientists consider playing a complex exchange between beings only seen in relatively intelligent animals and humans. To play successfully, one must fully understand how to communicate and gracefully insert themselves at appropriate times to continue the exchange and dance of energy. There is great value in experiencing play that focuses on the quality of interaction and the results produced. This training program intends to teach you the coaching skills to bring your clients to more significant self-awareness and engagement in new behaviors.

“The Online Level One and Level Two training programs have been a great experience. I have gained many tools to coach others with horses. I had to work hard on my vulnerability and feeling exposed speaking, as English is my second language. Just thinking about it made me nervous. Little by little, I gained more security and confidence on the live calls. I grew a tremendous amount in this process. The fact that it was online made me practice with my horses. My relationship with my horses drastically changed as they are now stepping into being teachers. I love this course because I can go back to the online modules and watch all of the tutorials and keep learning. My thanks to Kathy and the whole group of fantastic women with whom I shared the program.” Carme Comellas, Spain, carmecomellas.com
“Kathy’s extraordinary course has opened my entire being to a whole new understanding of the nature of this reality and her offerings have expanded my awareness way beyond what I was once conditioned to believe were possible. Kathy’s profound teachings allowed me to connect much deeper to my intuition and become aligned and in tune with the radiant heart energy of my glorious herd and the harmonious wisdom they share. The Coaching with Horses journey empowered me to hone the craft of recognizing and liberating old patterns of energy that inhibit our capacity to evolve and blossomed my ability to be enlightened to all that surrounds me. This course is a powerful life tool for everyone and anyone who intends to dive deeper into presence and the bountiful space that living from pure, authentic awareness creates. I am forever in awe of, grateful for, and truly humbled by my journey with Kathy and feel endlessly honored to be in service to the whole, that is the Divine Collective Herd.” With Metta, Nicola Robinson Evans, Evolve Sanctuary, Australia
“While applying Kathy’s methods with my horses, I shifted from numbing out difficult emotions to instead move through them and gain an entirely new level of emotional intelligence. Now that I have gone deeper into my own spiritual exploration with horses, I feel congruent and confident in leading others. I thought I was a very present person, the horses taught me how to go even further into presence and create a genuinely emotionally safe container for others. This program solidified my power as a healer, animal communicator, and EFL instructor.” Anna Marie Ellison, USA
“This online course was a lifesaver for me. We have a bustling lesson barn that I rarely have a chance to escape from for any length of time longer than a quick trip to a grocery store! The Level One training program gave me the tools, process, support, outline, and philosophy to feel confident and well prepared as I enter each new client session. I am now able to tailor each session to meet the needs of the client and their specific requests for change, enlightenment, or growth. My non-profit, called The Equine Academy Inc. is the home for this incredible work. I feel good and pleased that I took the course.” Jane Salko, Southport, CT

“This program is exactly what I needed on my transformative journey with horses. Kathy has helped me accept my vulnerability and become more authentic. This also allowed me to develop and trust my intuition with horses thus creating a deeper partnership with them when facilitating coaching sessions with people. When doing so, I am in a spiritual zone that feels like home.” Natasha Vanoye, Belgium
Kathy has provided me with tools of staying present in the moment or consciousness that has changed my life and will continue to change my life. It hasn’t only changed the way I ride and am around horses but in every other way in my life, whether it is with people or other animals. It is surprising how much less energy I use when I am present. I feel as though a piece to the puzzle of my wholeness has been filled. I will forever be grateful for the gift you have given me. Thank you.” – Michelle Q., Cohuna, Australia

It has not always been easy, but it has been so worthwhile! Thank you! I promise that I will continue to learn and grow as a facilitator and help more people understand the true nature of HORSE.” – Pauline, Canada
“My Level One training went beyond my expectations. During my Round Pen experience, Izzy allowed me to close a chapter in my life that needed to be closed. Through Kathy’s facilitation and Izzy’s Master Coaching, I now feel complete. The training also allowed me to grow as a coach, and I now have the Mind Body Method to add to my Coaching Toolbox. Thanks for an absolutely amazing experience.” – Anouschka, Canada
“After attending the EFLC Level One, I returned to The Netherlands, where I had various equi sessions planned with individuals and a big group. The Mind Body Method coaching model worked superb; it enriched my toolkit. It fits very well with my experience of being a systemic equi coach, and it makes my work, and very important the work of my horses, much easier and lighter.” – Tirza, The Netherlands
