At Spiegelbild the horses in our programs are “co-coaches”. We pay utmost attention to matching the personalities of our equine partners with our individual, group 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.

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.
