Testimonials
“Working with the horses and with the entire management was real fun and we took much use out of it for our business relation. You can learn so much from the horses which will help you in your regular life! Corina and Ralf are a very inspiring couple and I would do the training anytime again!”
“The experience with the horses was fabulous! Initially I was very nervous because I had never worked with horses before and I felt the horse was so strong and powerful. However, Corina was very reassuring, and I trusted her instruction and gradually started to feel more comfortable with every minute of working with the horse. I realized that the horse absolutely mirrored my leadership style! That if I wanted to be a good leader there were certain approaches to behavior I would need to change.”
