HOME MEMBERS AREA VISION & MISSION MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION CONFERENCE REGISTRATION IMPRINT
2010's conference theme was “New Learning from Ancient Wisdom”. For many hundreds of years man and horse have worked together. In recent times many more horse people have come to realise that horses are not just our working partners and pets but also great teachers. We are learning that horses can teach us about many highly valued core skills that can get lost in today’s hectic lifestyle.

Engaging With Spirit – Partnering with Horses for Positive Change In this presentation we partnered with horses to explore leading with spirit with bringing our spiritual and business worlds together. Business people are finding that engaging their whole selves in work and home life–body, mind, emotion and spirit, and living their values and purpose strengthens the financial bottom line and sustains the well being of the organization. Partnering with horses and leading with spiritual presence we can transform our families, business and communities, uplift our human spirit and create positive change.

The Shadow of a Leader: What Shadow Do You Cast? The shadow one casts as a leader/manager/horseperson has enormous impact on the kind of relationships one can experience with horses & others. This presentation will offer insight into the process of working with leaders and managers using the principles of Natural Horsemanship as a guide & metaphor for connecting and being in collaboration with others. Informed by current literature on change & motivation, we will consider (& demonstrate, if horses are available) how these concepts can be learned, practiced & internalized through mutually respectful and beneficial interaction with horses.
