Horse Assisted education programmes are more than trainings or teambuilding activities. Focused on developing innovative and successful leadership styles, as well as competencies and skills related to emotional intelligence (EQ) for themselves and for the entire team, transformative and long-term outcomes are achieved. In this coaching programme, the horse acts as a mirror of the personality and the personal leadership skills.

     Management and leadership are two different concepts. Management is the ability of a person to deal with complex structures. Companies are dealing, first of all, with complexity. Management monitors, identifies problems and provides solutions, identifies deviations from original plans, reorganises, rewards and gives penalties according to the programme. Management develops the company’s capacity to observe the strategy, building an organisational structure adapted to its specific needs, delegating tasks and monitoring their progress. On the contrary, a leader sets the direction, the vision of the future and designs strategies to change the approach according to the goals pursued. A leader motivates people and rallies them behind company beliefs. When we speak about leadership, we speak about motivation and inspiration, based on values, needs and emotions.

          Leadership does not mean control but liberty, taking responsibility, being able to listen to people and being a role model. We are all emotional human beings, and the horse helps us discover ourselves as individuals and as part of a team.
