Connection Seekers
Experiencing a sense of belonging and community is essential to our feeling happy, safe and secure. Connecting to nature and other sentient beings - including horses - allows us to connect to our inner selves, our hopes, dreams and aspirations.
If you are seeking to rekindle this connection - whether for yourself, within your partnership, or amongst your family, friends and peers - we are here for you.
You will experience one equine-assisted connection session that is focused on mindfulness and being present in the moment. After the session we will take time to debrief your experience. You will be able to identify key insights, powerful moments, and how you can transfer these into your day-to-day lives.
This program is being offered for individuals, couples and groups of 3-8 people.

At Spiegelbild we see the horses in our programs as true “co-coaches”. We pay utmost attention to matching the personalities of our equine partners with our individual, couple and team clients to create an in-depth and holistic learning experience. As such we utilize the inherent benefits of being around horses to enhance your personal, professional and leadership development. Horses provide a caring, safe environment for humans to reflect, explore and work on moving forward in their lives. Working with horses offers people a unique experience that mirrors real life, is non-judgemental and intuitive. What shows up in the human-horse interaction is directly transferable to human-human interactions, whether in one’s private or professional life.

The influx of younger generations into the workplace has added many challenges, including high costs due to decreasing retention rates of these young employees. Studies have found that Millennials in particular are dissatisfied with traditional on-the-job training and development programs. Equine-assisted coaching offers an experiential, individualized and more personalized growth and development opportunity. Spiegelbild’s programs can be tailored to your specific needs and thus address your individual circumstances and challenges.

To survive in the wild, horses depend on a fine-tuned awareness of their environment. Horses possess a unique sensitivity to the energy, emotions and intentions of other beings around them (including humans). This makes them talented teachers. Horses are entirely unbiased toward a person’s level of education, age, gender, rank or cultural background.

Horses do not lie. They provide honest, in-the-moment feedback on an individual’s ability to communicate with, relate to, and provide direction to others. Horses instinctively respond to a person’s non-verbal signals and intentions. They surface subconscious behaviours and reveal to participants subtle aspects of themselves that they may not be aware of, but that influence how they are perceived by others.
