A Dynamic New Teaching Method

The Horse Institute is the vision of Marie-Claude Stockl and Larry Stockl, two seasoned corporate executives who grew frustrated with spending valuable training budgets on the same old courses year after year. (Think drab conference rooms, endless slide show presentations, and the relief of logging on to e-mail for distraction.)

​

Understanding that the only thing more challenging than providing best-in-class coaching is getting attendees’ attention, Marie-Claude and Larry made it their mission to create a dynamic new teaching method -- one that engages participants in a more impactful, insightful and memorable way.

​

Introducing The Horse Institute, where real-world corporate leadership expertise meets experiential coaching in the form of Equine Assisted Learning. The Horse Institute’s human and equine faculty guide participants to “Aha!” moments in the areas of leadership, effective communication and teamwork, then translate them into actionable next steps that transform workplace performance.

 

Learning with horses provides a whole new perspective. We call it Leadership Development Through Fresh Eyes.

We Love What We Do 

Working with horses is experiential, first and foremost.  It gives us great joy to create an environment where people can gain awareness of their stengths, and practice a different way to come up with solutions without fear of judgment. 
 

Using feedback from the horses, we facilitate robust discussions on what worked and did not work, and how it applies to the work environment.  The results are immediate, as the participants apply their observations to the next challenge.
 

The speed of change and constant disruptions make it difficult to keep employees and teams engaged.  We are here to help.
