redhorse Testimonials

Radisson Resort regularly takes our management team away and on this occasion we were looking for something different.  We were attracted to redhorse assisted training because of how unique the programme is.  It is important to us to ensure any time spent away from the office has a real tangible benefit.  All our expectations were met during our two days at redhorse. 

Before the training the team were very focused on their individual departments and communication was not as good as it could be.  After the training we all had a better appreciation of each others strengths and relationships within the group were much stronger.  The team also came away with a heightened sense of self awareness and the willingness to continue their personal development.  The horses were of course a highlight. 

The team all had different levels of exposure to horses, some had never been close to a horse before.  We even had someone that had an allergy however equipped with the necessary preventative medicine and face mask, they were able to fully participate.  I don't know how or why, but somehow the presence of the horses allowed each individual to surrender many of those  behaviours and beliefs that have been detrimental to their personal development.  They are truly beautiful animals and it was a pleasure and privilege to work with them and of course Eula, Peter and Peter and the rest of the wonderful team at redhorse.

AMAZING absolutely AMAZING, what an experience the ‘Red Horse’ session is !! To confront my own demons, see them for what they are; fearful, embarrassing, seemingly immoveable objects, beautifully mirrored through your horse AND then to have such a breakthrough over the 3 hours in conquering those demons, has left me energized, focused and purposeful to make a real difference in my life….Thank you Eula.

I have worked in many national and international companies, managing large numbers of people and without question the redhorse Professional Leadership Development program 'redhorse one-on-one' is the most unique, reflective and rewarding program any manager could experience. It is a must do if you and your company want real lasting results through your people.”

“redhorse  assisted training has an incredible leadership program. One-on-one with a coach and a horse and a whole paddock to ourselves, in only a few hours I made breakthroughs on communication and leadership that I had not made in days and months on other courses.  I made breakthroughs about what I did not know was limiting my potential in intercommunication and leadership. 70% of communication is non-verbal.  Horses are powerful prey animals, they are so acutely tuned to your non-language communication and with the correct process you get immediate feedback that you can use to rapidly adjust and improve interatively to massively improve your communication, including how you portray your intention, your vibes, body language, to building rapport, building the sensitivity and right placed strength to work with others as a leader. 

Also mechanisms of how to work with challenges to your leadership and with rebellion. A connection that is just as applicable with people as it is with horses. By stepping outside your normal focus with people you start to see, understand and work dynamically with non-verbal communication. I went from not being able to get a horse to budge with a rope, to having a horse running freely beside me following my lead and feeling a strong sense of camaraderie and friendship. This was a beautiful experience and as a result of the training it has changed forever how I see a guiding and supporting leader should work with everyone.   What I have learnt is a platform from which I will not forget and can apply and build on daily, to have better connections and make stronger contributions.  I have noticed a change and am seeing the results in my relationships”. 

“I found the redhorse one-on-one session to be a very unusual and surprisingly effective way to access my personal power through a different way of communicating. Working with the horse challenged my communication skills. When I asked the horse to walk a circle around me and she ignored me I was completely at a loss. I then began to employ other strategies to get her to walk the circle to no avail. It then occurred to me that my normal way of communicating wasn't going to cut it for this horse that was clearly seeing straight through my insecurities. Following the coaching from Eula, I took a moment to let go of some of these insecurities that were limiting me. She coached me to tap into a deeper, truer part of myself. When I stopped worrying about how I looked and got clear on my intention, I was able to communicate to the horse what I wanted she listened and followed my instruction. This was a very powerful and insightful experience which demonstrated to me that if I stand in my truth I can achieve anything”.

“I am an Acupuncturist and Remedial Therapist by profession and after spending several years caring for my elderly mother I wanted to get back to my work that I love. I needed a catalyst to get me on track – that is to give me the confidence and motivation to begin a business again.

Eula's compassion and respect for people, her natural ability with horses and her horse's sweet and gentle nature is truly a wonderful combination of talents.  I was totally unprepared for the experience on that day.

Quite aside from learning what was blocking me going forward and how to work through it – and all in about 3 hours – amazing! – I was completely ‘blown away’ by how the horse could read my emotional state and mirror it back to me.

Thank you again Eula, and Penny, for this incredible experience.  It has enabled me not only to reopen my clinic but to see my work ‘from outside the square’ which has been very helpful to me - and of course this benefit flows on to my patients and to my family”. 

“I arrived at the redhorse one-on-one session with a work related issue in mind to focus on; however the session had a much broader application and gave me powerful insights into the nature of how I interact with myself, my loved ones and the world in general.

Eula’s calm approach with both the horse and myself, the client, combined with her ability to objectively observe the interaction without judgement allowed me to openly participate in the process.

Using my relationship with the horse as a mirror allowed me to see clearly my behaviours that were successful in achieving a goal and also those patterns of behaviour which blocked my success. I have used this analogy in countless situations since the session some months ago to remind myself of what success looks like in all sorts of situations. This gives me a clear choice in how I live my life”. 

“I was fortunate to meet Eula and participate in a redhorse one-on-one session. I am not at all familiar with horses and was intrigued by the idea of this approach to coaching. I was really surprised when a certain issue arose. It was an issue that I have been working on for some time but did not predict that it would come up again in this session. Within a short space of time Penny, the horse mirrored to me that this issue still had to be dealt with, in order for me to move on. This unique angle gave me clarity I had not yet experienced. With new tools to address the issue and a clear intention on what I want, I now feel confident to get into action and get going. Thank you Eula for the fun session and for assisting me to step out of my comfort zone and get into action. I can totally recommend redhorse”.

"Eula is a lovely Coach. I didn't feel hurried at any stage and felt completely supported and in safe hands, even while Ollie, the horse was using his "talk to the hoof" approach! When working on an emotional level it always helps to put things almost into the 3rd person and this was pretty much what I felt was happening. It enabled me to observe what was going on in my life and how I was dealing with situations without the raw emotions to wade through first. Because Eula had a gentle and non-judgmental stance it was easy to be brutally honest and openly admit my frailties. I found it fascinating!"

“Over the years I’ve taken part in many forms of coaching but nothing compares to my experience with Eula Rohan & Penny (the horse) from Red Horse Equestrian.  During my session with Eula I chose to look at my relationship with money and in particular debt.  I have never really come face to face with my debt before.  Figures on a credit card statement were just that, figures on a credit card statement, however with Penny as a metaphor for my debt I was looking at it head on for the first time in years.  No longer a number on a credit card statement my debt was staring me in the face. I simply couldn’t miss it!  With Eula’s guidance I was able to physically see how my current actions were holding me back and how by implementing a new strategy I could move forward.  My experience with Eula and Penny was one of the most profound coaching experiences I have ever had.  If you are feeling stuck or want to move forward in life I highly recommend Red Horse Assisted Training”

I participated in two redhorse one-on-one coaching sessions.  My focus was working through some  current issues in my workplace. I was impressed by her diligence, listening ability and solution focused approach with which she helped me identify the impact of my actions in the initial consultation. While working with the horse I felt supported and guided by Eula. This allowed me to relax and trust in this new process to gain some valid insights about myself and my relationships.
I have found Eula to be sincere and genuine and she has visible talent coaching people and animals.
