EMPOWERED BY EQUINES
​
Welcome to Empowered by Equines! Our main goal is to assist people to achieve their full personal potential via working with horses. Equines a/k/a horses, have an innate ability to read our emotions, sense danger, and react to what they sense because their survival depends on it. They also seek out leadership in the herd, and continuously test these boundaries. Because of this ability, they can tell us a tremendous amount about our own emotions and capabilities.
