4worldlovers: Horse Sense brings the lessons of Covey and Senge and Kotter and Argyris and Kountz and Posner and Blanchard and more to life in an unforgettable experience.

Horse Sense builds Leadership skills through a carefully designed experience that ties directly into Leadership practice. Leadership habits show up in all of our behaviour and the horses respond to behaviour. We leverage this feedback to explore the blindspots and habits that get in the way of becoming the best leaders possible.


Horse Sense programs have a solid foundation in Leadership theory including: Active Listening, Ladder of Inference, Feed-forward Coaching, Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Styles, Management vs Leadership, Appreciative Inquiry, Balancing Task and Process, Shift to transformational leadership, Situational Leadership, the Leadership Challenge. Building High Performance Teams and more.

Many of our clients include us within their multi module in -house leadership development programs.

This program really showed us leadership excellence. When the horse just follows you, with his nose on your shoulder, because you have earned his confidence, you feel so good! You have to earn the horse’s trust. We used that opportunity to talk about trust within the team, and it opened the door. You have to connect before you can lead. For us, the most important lesson was trust and respect, and that has improved our team relationships and effectiveness.

One thing that is different now is how team decisions, roles and authority are handled. We are clear about when input is needed and where we want the team to make decisions. It was really a team renewal. We met some pretty lofty goals. It was a lot of fun but also lots of learning.

It’s Sharon and her style as much as the horses. She doesn’t leave any stone unturned, she goes deeper and deeper to get at the real issues, yet she’s so non-confrontational. It’s the whole package, I can’t imagine anyone else who could do it better. She understands business, human dynamics and horses – it’s really fantastic
