"Horses teach us a lot.
Very little of it actually has t
o do with horses".
- A.  Lothian
 

 What clients have to say 

"The horses offered some gentle & very clear messages through their body language & actions. The metaphorical layers of developing meaning through the work with the horses & how parallel our journeys was amazing!! The process of building confidence to lead the horses & develop clarity in my direction is something that I'm still processing & benefiting from. I am feeling teh sense of connection & groundedness. It's an empowering & beautiful process to work with Jess & her horses, the "teachers". Jess's honesty, wisdom, guidance and intuition was inspirational. The grounded experience supported the participants to embrace our authentic leadership & move forward with inner alignment & trusting ourselves."
