Personal Development, Wellness and Leadership

Horse Empower is invested in you. We are known for creating powerful, meaningful, out of the box Personal Development, Wellness and Leadership Programs designed to support you, your family and your friends in reaching personal goals while having a fun and engaging time.

Our custom designed programs drive behavioral change. You can expect to gain lasting results in:

  • Self-Awareness
  • A sense of direction
  • Improved focus and effectiveness
  • Motivation
  • Greater Resilience
  • Fulfilling Relationships

How do we do this with horses? The answer is simple. Horses are aware, intuitive and non-judgmental, they are not at all concerned with your title. They are innately looking for a leader who is confident and communicates clearly; a leader who is consistent and compassionate. They are honest and, in the moment, with very high EQ, giving us immediate feedback where we can change our behavior for desired outcomes.

Social Styles training for your young leader will jumpstart a unique opportunity to develop skills in versatility, communication and conflict prevention. Each day will kick off with group activities that include a strong Service component, beneficial use of technology, enjoying team lunch together.  The 2nd half of every day will be spent developing & honing in on our leadership skills as we learn to ride and care for our horses.
