“When we embody who we are without apology, we can authentically navigate the ebb and flow of change that is our birth right.”

Leadership & Horses™ 5 day programs

Leadership begins with the self you are. Are you leading your life or is it leading you? Leadership is about connecting yourself to a vision of a better future and having the confidence and courage to 'go for it'.

Horses teach that leadership is not about 'being better than' or 'smarter than'. It is not a top down system that demands dominance or subordination. Rather, to embody natural leadership is to embody a 'way of being' that appreciates diversity, individuality and inter-connected relationships.

Time  with horses combined with new perspectives on living a purposeful life, develops mind/body spirit unity like no other self development program out there.

Intuitive Horsemanship™

The same principles embedded in our Skyhorse programs, apply to our unique method of horsemanship  built on respect, dignity and unity with horses that is inspiring, profound and fulfilling.

Creating a bond that is deeply rewarding for both horse and rider, requires passion, commitment and a heartfelt curiosity to learn new ways of being in relationship with horses that does not require dominance or breaking a horses's spirit.

Ariana, our founder, has been a professional equestrian in both english and western riding styles. Her foundational methods, and somatic practices, stem from a lifetime with horses and wild animals; a system of communication based on energy and body language, nuance and intuition.
