Equus Insight, in collaboration with Hest Creative, now offers equine-assisted coaching in picturesque Washoe Valley, 20 minutes from Reno.

Equine-assisted coaching (EAC) is a unique, experiential approach to personal and professional development involving horse interaction. Unlike traditional coaching methods, this form of coaching leverages horses' natural instincts and behaviors to provide immediate feedback on a person's communication, leadership, and emotional presence. Through ground-based activities, participants gain insights into their behavior, mindset, and emotional state and develop trust-building, resilience, and communication skills in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

Who can benefit?

Equine-assisted coaching is a transformative experience designed to support a wide variety of individuals and groups. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, professional development, or deeper self-awareness, this approach offers a unique pathway to unlock your potential.

It’s ideal for:

• Individuals: Looking to boost confidence, improve communication skills, or explore personal identity and values.

• Couples: Seeking to enhance connection, mutual understanding, and collaborative problem-solving.

• Small Teams and Groups: Focusing on team-building, leadership development, or fostering stronger interpersonal dynamics.

• Additional Support: This method can complement other personal development, therapy, or treatment plans. It provides a hands-on, experiential layer to support emotional healing and resilience.

• Curricula and Workshops: Enhancing learning with a focus on self-expression, authenticity, and personal values.

We work with youth and adults, tailoring experiences to meet diverse goals and challenges. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, overcoming obstacles, or simply seeking clarity, equine-assisted coaching can offer profound insights and lasting growth.
