Horse-assisted coaching

By Kerstin Hochrainer

Burnout illnesses are becoming increasingly common. Pressure to perform and stress are factors that characterize our society more than we would like, and this problem starts with our children. If we see life as a car race, a pit stop will not be enough to reduce the stress in our lives. Society needs to change its way of thinking. Horses are the ones who bring us into the here and now, who accept us exactly as we are, no matter who we love, what color our skin is or how much money we have. We can learn a lot from horses if we are open to them and are prepared to embark on a journey that brings us back to ourselves. The question I want to answer in this paper is to what extent the horse has an influence on the coaching process and whether the horse is effective in preventing burnout. I was able to feel the calming effect of horses for myself, to let them arrive and to experience the power of using my own energy in the right non-verbal way. This is an experience that many more people should experience.
