“Being able to let your feelings be there, daring to feel all your emotions, is the door to freedom and achieving your full potential in this life. Fortunately, this is a skill that anyone can learn. From an evolutionary perspective, horses are one step ahead of us in their mastery of this. We learn from them that being congruent is the most important basis for getting the maximum potential out of your life here and now.”
“I have learned from the natural leadership of horses that you are most effective as a leader if you listen to your intuition - the wisdom of your heart - in every choice and decision. Letting your heart and feelings guide you is certainly not the same as being the plaything of your emotions. You learn to understand this when working with horses as a source of the most important information for every next step.
Horses live in the here and now, and communicate without words often many times more effectively than we do with them! To survive in nature, they have specialized in non-aggressive, natural leadership. They are an important source of inspiration for effective social behavior for the 'human herds' that want to make a difference.
Working with horses has helped me heal from trauma, function better as a leader, and maintain productive relationships at work and in my personal life. My mission is to help as many people as possible to use their 'horsepower'.”
