Equine-assisted coaching at Experiencing Equine isn’t about therapy or learning to ride—it’s about transformation. Horses read and respond to us in the present moment, offering powerful insights into how we show up in leadership, in relationships, and in moments of challenge.

When the world feels noisy and uncertain, it’s easy to lose your sense of direction. Through this work, purpose-driven leaders reconnect with their inner compass. They gain the confidence to lead with presence, the clarity to navigate change, and the ability to build trust-filled, authentic relationships—in business and life.

The Heart of Our Work.

We support people who lead with heart and live with intention—through experiences that bring clarity, courage, and authentic next steps.

With horses as co-facilitators, we work with real-time biofeedback and somatic insight to uncover what’s beneath the surface so you can move forward with clarity and purpose.

Whether you're navigating a personal crossroads, building a values-driven business, or simply longing to feel more at home in yourself, you're not meant to do it alone.

At Experiencing Equine, we offer a range of ways to work together, each designed to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, re-pattern old dynamics, and step into the next chapter of your life or leadership with clarity and confidence.

1:1 Coaching (with or without horses):

Deeply personalized sessions that blend reflection, embodied presence, and strategic guidance. You might bring a question about leadership, a business challenge, or a personal crossroad—and leave with new insight, inner steadiness, and a clear sense of next steps.

Not sure where to begin? Let’s start with a complimentary needs assessment to explore what’s coming up for you and where coaching could offer the most support.

Business & Brand Alignment:

For entrepreneurs and creatives who want their work to reflect their values and generate real results. Together, we uncover what’s true at the core of your business, your unique genius, your ideal client, your deeper why, and bring it into clear, compelling expression.

From refining your message to shifting how you show up in sales conversations, this work supports you in attracting aligned clients and increasing revenue without compromising authenticity.

Across all formats, the invitation is the same: come as you are, meet what’s real, and move forward with clarity and heart.

The horses help you feel it. The coaching helps you live it.

A few years ago I was at a crossroads, unsure of which direction would be the best choice.  I have to say that I was AMAZED at what was revealed by Kerry and her horse during my session.  Through Kerry’s questioning, my responses, and the movement of the horse while I was speaking or moving, revealed what my innate wisdom was trying to tell me, yet my “monkey-mind” could not see.  Everything I needed to learn about where I was at that moment and what direction would serve me best, made complete sense.  I would recommend Kerry and her horses to anyone, for any reason!!

Why Partner With Horses?

Communication with horses happens beyond words. They read and respond to human emotions, body language, and your presence, offering honest and immediate feedback. In a coaching setting, this creates a profound learning experience. Participants become more attuned to their own emotional states, recognizing how their presence and intentions influences those around them. This heightened awareness enhances emotional intelligence, a key factor in effective leadership, meaningful relationships, and personal growth.

Partnering with horses offers a profound path to self-discovery, authentic leadership, and personal transformation. Their intuitive nature, honest feedback, and unwavering presence help individuals develop confidence, emotional intelligence, and resilience. In the company of horses, we learn to lead with clarity, connect with authenticity, and move through life with greater purpose and presence.
