"I would have never expected the most awesome connection I have had thus far in my life (on a conscious level) would have been with a horse! When I was present the horse was with me step for step, when my mind wandered from the present, the horse was gone. This experience helped me understand that if I make a conscious effort to be present in my body I am then in control of the direction I take and the way I interact with the environment around me."

Many thanks. Steve, Executive, Calgary, Canada

 

"Kathy Pike has the ability to know exactly what to say, when to listen and when to question. She knows just how to get me to look a little deeper and has the right exercises to keep me focused. She has a wonderful balance of gentleness and directness that has allowed me to feel fully supported and challenged at the same time.

Kathy has been extremely attentive and focused on my needs. There is now doubt about it, some of the calls are tough. Tough in a way that feels successful, as you have stretched further than you thought possible. I realize that to develop, it is in those moments of discovery that will help lead me to where I ultimately want to be.

If you are ready to do the work, work with Kathy. She will be there to push you, listen to you, support you and praise you as you continue to grow."
 Maureen McNamara, Dynamic Learning, Inc., Boulder, CO

 

"Thank you very much for a powerful and healing experience. It was magnificent. I strive to never live small again. I did not realize to what extent I was living in a shelled-over manner. I have come out of is as a leader among horses with their respect. This will translate into my everyday life. Thank you." JP, Colorado

 

"I came to your program mainly to be with the horses, creativity was secondary. I can tell you that after spending the weekend with you and the horses I tapped into a level or creative expression I had not experienced since was a child. This experience has freed me from my inner critic. I will continue with many of the tools and exercises you have taught me." Donna, Boulder

 

 

"Kathy's coaching guided me to fertile and untapped places deep inside of myself that enabled me to write from a more authentic place. Marilyn's coaching took me through a process where I found the heart of my story. Both Kathy and Marilyn created a sacred space for me to excel with my writing and listen more closely to my voice." ~ S. Williams, Arizona

 

 

"Kathy has been my coach for the past two years and it's hard to imagine how I would have survived a career change to coaching without her wisdom, support and encouragement. Kathy's coaching was just what I needed for supporting me where I was and I am grateful for walking the path with her." Claire, Business & Personal Coach, Littleton, Colorado

 

 

"Thank you for facilitating this great space last weekend. It had a profound effect on me, leading me to a place of experiencing my life more  -  experiencing my surroundings as mirror  - rather then just seeing it.  Thank you again."  ~Rita Grobe

 

 

Horse Wisdom Programs

Tell a Friend about
Coaching with Horses

 

 

Who Attends
Many of the individuals that we work with are in transition. They are searching for a greater sense of purpose and passion, wish to become more powerful and self-directed, want to evolve spiritually, and desire a deeper connect to self, others and nature. They want to live an authentic life.

Horse enthusiasts attend our program to develop skills to create a deeper sense of connection and potential with horses.

What can a horse do for me?
Horses offer humans an opportunity to understand and learn a deeper way of "being" in the world. Horses embody power, grace and a highly tuned instinct. A horse's survival depends on its ability to sense any incongruity in its environment and respond appropriately. In the herd, horses naturally trust their instincts and are attuned to the moods and body language of others. Their social structure is highly valued; without it their survival is threatened.

During Horse Wisdom Programs you interact with horses, develop relationships, become part of the herd, and learn about yourself along the way. Horses are a non-judgmental mirror of the gifts, challenges and areas where you are ready to grow as a person. They teach us to become more emotionally, physically and mentally aware.

All programs include a special blend of life coaching processes and work with the horses to help you reach greater levels of mind/body awareness, presence, and ignite your authentic self.

During the time at the ranch you may experience deep realizations, an increase of confidence and self-empowerment, and connection with a community of like-minded people.
