Notes from Clients

"Working with the In Balance horses, alongside gentle guidance from Val, Amy and Laurie, was one of the most impactful experiences I've had in a long time.  I had no idea why I was so drawn to this work, especially since I had been afraid of horses my entire life.  After a 10 weeks women's group, I can officially say that the label of being afraid of these powerful and wise animals no longer fits.  My confidence around risk grew immeasurably - inside and outside the ring.  I learned the critical importance of trusting myself and my intuition and how leveraging these gifts can shift everything.  Using my voice, playfulness and being in the flow of the moment, rather than always "brain-banging" solutions, created a profound sense of ease that is so relaxing and fun, it's hard to articulate. Throw in the spectacularly beautiful setting and the nurturing from the horses and I can't think of a better way to work on uncovering your best self." B.G., life & career coach

 

Staff Development and Leadership Workshops

Enrich your organization, improve moral, and increase productivity.

 

In today's world, leaders and organizations face multiple challenges and can no longer rely upon the same old formulas to be successful.  At Stand InBalance, we offer customized workshops and that are based on using the natural leadership requirements of horses to help teams and individuals enhance leadership skills, improve communication, and increase social and emotional intelligence.  

Getting out of the boardroom and into nature provides an opportunity for relaxation and renewal.  As individual’s awaken their innate wisdom and connection with the natural world, they create health within themselves, their organizations and communities and, ultimately, the planet.  Moreover, authentic connection to oneself and nature invites increased creativity, improved collaboration, and greater productivity.  

Why Horses?

Unlike humans, horses are prey animals and have a unique ability to sense underlying emotional currents in their environment.  When used in Equine Interactive Learning, horses become powerful messengers that mirror back their direct experience of humans.  They are completely congruent and authentic with what they experience.  

Like humans, horses are herd animals and rely on each other for safety and survival. Horses look for leadership and give direct feedback about what effective leadership and teamwork is and what it is not.
