Welcome!

Celebrating Our 20th Anniversary!

As we celebrate two decades of sharing the wisdom of horses with thousands of people, It’s a good time to reflect. 
 

First and foremost, thank you.  I feel enormous gratitude toward my family and friends who have helped me through a serious illness last year, and to our clients.  You were so patient, I am very happy to hear from you again after a hiatus.  It’s good to be back in the saddle, literally and figuratively.

​

​What has changed in 20 years?  The fundamental value of horses as teachers remains constant.

What is different is the maturity we have gained as facilitators.  And we have added collaborators who are the best of the best in executive education. 

​

What’s new in 2025? 

  • Our home base remains the New York area, and we now take the programs to top facilities in the country and around the world.

  • We have added innovation tools to help you thrive during constant disruptions.

  • We keep working with clients on measurement tools for our programs. 

 

We look forward to supporting you and your team this year and beyond!
