How would it be to develop the following skills training with the acknowledged masters:

The good news is, now you can.
David Harris is founder of UK based Acorns-2-Oaks (A2O). He has designed an innovative training programme that allows people to learn from the consummate skills of the horse. By combining his NLP, Coaching and Natural Horsemanship knowledge he has created the “Equine Guided Leadership Development” suite of programmes. These exciting experiential personal development programmes enable participants to work with the horses to achieve amazing and lasting results.
The primary focus is on understanding/developing who we are and the elements that define this, namely our motivations, values and beliefs.

Why Horses?
Horses are amazing animals; they live in the moment, are intuitive and heavily reliant on their highly tuned instincts to survive. In order to survive they have to be masters of the skills you want to develop. The remarkable thing is they can teach us these skills in an easy, enjoyable yet profound way.

Equine Assisted Coaching  /  Equine Guided Education  /  Equine Assisted Learning – What are they?
Equine-Assisted Coaching (EAC) uses experiential learning working with horses to create metaphoric situations that mirror real life. The approach incorporates coaching principles and presupposition, giving the participant the opportunity to address issues/challenges, problem-solve and be creative. Most activities are done working on the ground which allows equine-assisted coaching to be available to everybody.
Equine-assisted education and learning embrace the principles of EAC in development settings such as corporate training in teamwork and leadership.
