Horse Powered Insight®
Equine-Facilitated Learning uses the natural intuition of horses to help you dig deep and reflect on your personal and professional goals and aspirations. It is an experiential coaching process that involves an individual working alongside a horse to do the self-reflection and deliberation to move individuals and teams forward.
We are pleased to offer the services of our Proprietress, Lara Holliday, whose signature practise, Horse Powered Insight®, is a unique and powerful offering only available at Shore Hall.
Horses as Reflections of Ourselves
Horse Powered Insight® uses the natural intuition of horses to help you reflect on your options, unearth new possibilities, and make strategic decisions about your future.

How it Works
We work alongside horses — we do not ride them — and you do not need any experience with horses to gain from this unique and powerful experience.
During an Equine-Facilitated Learning session, you may find yourself stroking a horse, grooming a horse, navigating an obstacle course with a horse, or simply observing horses in a meadow.
Horses have an innate ability to reflect human energy and emotion, giving Lara immediate insight into your motivations and perspective. Working with a horse to monitor your reactions, Lara is able to effectively and efficiently help you problem-solve, create plans of action, and navigate long-standing barriers to success.
