“The horses added a dimension which I perhaps didn’t expect – as a tool it quickly became apparent that their use lies in the fact that they react in the truest way to how you bring yourself to situations – they have no baggage or agenda and you get a true, neutral reflection of how you’re perceived.”Adam Henderson, Commercial Bid Manager Saïd Business School University of Oxford
“This was so powerful for me and I’m still reaping the rewards of it. I wanted to work on my overthinking and since the session have felt such a release from it and feel so much lighter in my head” Laney Graham, Senior Development Manager TGX Europe
“Thank you so much for a completely different approach and insight” Eleanor Papadimos, Head of New Business Web Division, IDHL Group
“It was such a unique experience and a privilege to spend the day with the horses.

It was memorable, informative and reflective experience of huge relevance to our work with patients and as a team. Thank you” Roman Czornyj, Senior Clinical Psychologist Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust
“Such a powerful session! I could come back and do it again and I absolutely recommend it to others in my organisation” Kelly Gifford, Account Director NetConstruct
“An incredible experience, I learnt so much about myself – amazing and emotional, I’ll definitely sleep well tonight” Helle Hammonds, Founder GymClass Fitness
“I recommend Helen wholeheartedly. My session with her was unforgettable, moving and changed my perspective on a few key things. The feedback I received from being around the horses was much more direct and fundamental than from my colleagues..you may be blown away by the power of it” Ray Martin, Performance Coach Ivy House London
“Working with the horses was an interesting way of having a living, communicative yet non-judgmental canvas from which to reflect on our own thoughts, emotions and reactions” Dr Jagdev Thukral, Consultant Psychiatrist Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust
“We worked with Helen running a 4 day leadership development programme for Sales Directors and Area Sales Managers – Whilst some of the delegates were initially a little sceptical as to how horses can help them lead better, I can honestly say that every one of them came out having learned so much about themselves, how they show up as leaders and the impact they can have on their teams. As observers, it also gave us a great deal of material to pull upon through the remainder of the other development programmes” Heidi Skirrow, Managing Director Skora HR
“Excellent day, uplifting and invigorating. A fascinating experience, felt very unique to me. The best team away day I’ve ever taken part in” Nicola Wakefield, Bromley East ADAPT Team Manager

I felt like I could conquer the world driving home after each session, and thank you for also giving me a way to keep that feeling with me.” Kathryn Owen

I am so grateful for these amazing enlightening sessions.” Helen Cook
