While we didn’t do a ton of coaching, we had some real talk about getting started, building confidence, and finding the best ways to get those hours in to become a skilled equine-assisted coach. One big takeaway? Learning from a great teacher—not just a trainer—can make all the difference. I truly believe it's so important to work with someone who doesn’t just focus on riding, but who takes the time to teach you about horse behavior, herd dynamics, and the way horses think. Too often, traditional barns are all about the sport—get on, ride, compete. But coaching with horses requires something deeper. And honestly? Some of the best teachers I’ve had weren’t even professional trainers. They were people who took the time to listen to horses and help others understand them. But here’s the thing: just because someone communicates well with horses doesn't always mean they’re ready to hold WISE Conversations with clients. So now I’m curious...💬 What do you think it takes to prepare to be an amazing equine-assisted coach?And how would you guide someone who’s new to horses but feels called to this work? Drop your thoughts below — I’d love to hear from our Boss Mare herd! 🐴💛

I created this short course with the idea of it being an introduction to horses before being placed in the paddock together. This is just the text. I do plan to add some video and images before presenting it. I am hoping for some critiquing though... is there too much information? did I leave something important out? On one hand, much of it will be gone over again in the moment, but it seems that many people do better with repetition. Thoughts?

Let’s start our first asynchronous discussion thread with something powerful and personal — your herd. 🖼️ Step 1: Post a photo of your horse(s), pony, donkey, or barn herd — whoever’s in your “team.” 💭 Step 2: Comment on at least two other posts and share the first word, feeling, or thought that comes to mind when you see the photo. 💡This thread is about more than just cute pics (though we love those too!). It’s a coaching exercise in perspective — seeing how the same image stirs different thoughts in different people. ➡️ Notice what YOU see… and what OTHERS see. ➡️ Reflect on how this mirrors coaching — where no one response is “right,” just real. ➡️ Consider: How might this help you better hold space for clients? 🌟 Let’s show up for each other and for our horses — one honest thought at a time. Ready? Drop your pic below 👇

Hello Boss Mares! I am so sorry if you came to the Activity Creation event today but could not get in. I messed up the links in the calendar. I took the time to write this months free activity for you. What do you think? See attached:)
