Leadership & Team Development
Our equine assisted leadership development programs create powerful insight and lasting outcomes, supporting leaders and teams to build trust, strengthen communication and enhance collaboration.
Leadership Development
Self Awareness | Connection | Emotional Agility | Adaptability | Wellbeing
Bespoke equine assisted leadership development workshops designed to create powerful impact and lasting outcomes. Learning to connect and lead with horses provides deep insight into being fully present, building trust, understanding the impact of formal and informal power, and developing authentic communication and adaptive leadership.
Through guided activities with horses and structured debriefs, participants connect these experiences to transferable leadership skills in the workplace and in life.
In a world of increasing complexity, leadership is not about competing with technology, but about becoming more of what makes us human. Transformation comes through experience, not explanation.
• Half day, full day or multi day workshops
• Group sizes typically ranging from 6 to 24+ participants
• Delivered in natural, distraction free environments across Australia
• Can be designed in partnership with business schools, universities and executive education providers .
• We can work alongside executive education providers, L&D professionals, and consulting partners to design meaningful leadership experiences or provide programs directly to organisations.
We’re always open to new collaborations. If you feel aligned, we’d love to connect.
Leadership is not what you say.
It’s how you show up.
Real time feedback. Honest insight.
Lasting impact.
Team Building &
Executive Offsites
Awareness | Connection | Trust | Wellbeing
Our equine assisted team programs create space for people to unwind, reconnect and de-stress. Teams become more present, more connected to themselves and each other, and learn practical ways to notice and release stress.
Horses respond to energy, body language and authentic intention, providing immediate feedback. With the support of our facilitators, participants gain insight into how they show up, what others experience, and how their behaviour influences team dynamics.
Observing how horses release stress through their bodies offers a powerful reflection for participants, highlighting the importance of regulation, connection and wellbeing in building strong, effective teams.
Conferences &
Retreats
We deliver equine assisted learning experiences as part of conferences, retreats and multi day programs, creating meaningful and engaging moments that connect participants to themselves and each other.
Our programs can be integrated into broader agendas, offering a unique and memorable way to deepen learning, strengthen connection and enhance overall impact.
Individual Coaching
Jackie is an ICF accredited executive coach and experienced career transition coach. She offers online coaching nationally, as well as in person equine assisted coaching sessions from the Scenic Rim in Queensland.
Equine assisted coaching is a non riding, experiential approach to personal and professional development, supporting deeper self awareness, clarity and meaningful change.
“I would highly recommend Jackie as a professional coach. Her personal and forthcoming nature helps to create environment where individuals feel comfortable and understood. In addition, her ability to ask thought-provoking questions encourages people to rethink their patterns of behaviour and connect with the cause and effect of their actions. Lastly, her insightful, caring and compassionate coaching is able to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, but even more, she is able to teach others how to see and achieve it as well”
– Jeanette Fenske, Director of Stores Woolworth Supermarkets
Wellbeing & Private Retreats
Equine Assisted Wellbeing
While many of our programs are designed for organisations, THRIVE offers a dedicated wellbeing experience for individuals and teams seeking to slow down, reset and reconnect.
THRIVE is a full or half day equine assisted wellbeing program designed to help participants slow down, reconnect with self and others, and reset.
Through guided interactions with horses, participants:
• build self awareness and practical self regulation skills
• strengthen stress management and resilience
• foster positive communication and deeper connection with others
• experience mindfulness and presence in a restorative natural setting
THRIVE can be booked for organisations or accessed through public programs held throughout the year at our Scenic Rim property in Queensland.
Optional DISC Profiling Integration
DISC is a behavioural profiling tool that explores how individuals naturally operate across four dimensions: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness.
When integrated into equine assisted learning programs, DISC moves beyond theory. Participants observe their behavioural patterns in real time, gaining practical insight into how they communicate, respond under pressure and influence others.
This combined approach supports leaders and teams to:
• deepen self awareness
• strengthen communication across different styles
• build trust and collaboration
• navigate challenges with greater emotional intelligence
Working with horses reveals what often goes unseen in leadership, how we show up, connect, and impact others.
Designed for organisations seeking meaningful, high impact learning experiences.
