TeachingHorse, LLC
TeachingHorse was founded by June Gunter, Ed.D. and Beth Hyjek, MFA

We provide leadership development workshops and individual coaching with horses. We offer services at our home sites in both Rogue River, Oregon at Grace Mountain Ranch and in Apex, North Carolina at Centerline Farm.

Participants in our workshops experience a new model of leadership based on the skills and abilities that lead mares use to lead their herds. Our clients include business, community and family leaders. We also work with people who want to improve their relationship with their horses.

TeachingHorse clients build confidence in their leadership by being:

More attuned to what is happening in their community, marketplace, and organization
Able to give clear direction with focused energy
Authentic with a centered and grounded presence

Confidence in leadership is what makes a herd or a community agile and able to respond to change.

Our clients say the work with the horses helped them get clear on what matters most to them and because of that they were able to make better leadership decisions. Many of our clients have said it was the first time they felt truly grounded in years.

ADVENTURES IN AWARENESS

Barbara Rector The purpose of ADVENTURES IN AWARENESS (AIA™) is to develop awareness and expand consciousness while enhancing an individual’s ability to be responsible for self, and thus, contribute to the safety of the group, through work with horses.

The AIA process promotes working with horses as reflective (mirror principle – “what I see in you, is also in me”) of our personal and interpersonal relationships. Learning what horses can teach us about basic life skills is an interesting and often fun approach to awaken our capacity for authentic empowerment.

AIA provides a self-determined place to practice the participant/observer principle. It is a significant opportunity to expand cross species communication while enjoying the healing ambience of Nature.

Horse Sense for Teens™
Alyssa Aubrey, CEGE

Changing bodies. Peer pressure. Yearning for acceptance. The looming, unknown future. And hovering over all these issues, the deeper questions: Who am I? Where and how do I fit in? Even in the most supportive environment, adolescence is often a tumultuous time.

HORSE SENSE for TEENS ™ @ Medicine Horse Ranch is a personal development program for adolescents (ages 12-18) that promotes growth through equine-guided educational exercises.

Our experimental program engages participants by offering the opportunity to address personal issues and achieve success in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our spirited teaching methodology fundamentally assumes that we each have a unique potential to discover and express this potential.
