Question 1

What is systemic coaching assisted by horses?

Accepted Answer

Systemic coaching assisted by horses is a methodology for supporting leaders, teams and organizations, in which interaction with a herd of horses is used to facilitate deep learning experiences. Horses, as highly sensitive beings, instantly reflect our intentions, emotions and behaviors, making visible what usually remains hidden within human systems and organizations. Their behavior within the herd offers a living metaphor about leadership, communication and collaboration in teams. At EQUITUM the work combines observation of systemic patterns and dynamics within the organization, experiential work with the herd, and exploration and integration processes that allow transferring learnings to the workplace reality.

Question 2

For what types of challenges or situations is this methodology recommended?

Accepted Answer

It is aimed at leaders, teams and organizations going through change and organizational transformation. EQUITUM proposes it for situations that call for revealing tensions, blockages and opportunities for improvement within the system; clarifying the definition of roles and responsibilities; strengthening a team's cohesion and effectiveness; improving communication and strengthening leadership; or resolving conflicts. The _SYST diagnostic tool is used precisely to analyze the position of team members within the organizational system and to visualize roles, tensions and improvement opportunities. The work can be set up individually, with a full team, or as an ongoing programme, according to each organization's needs.

Question 3

How does a systemic coaching session with horses unfold?

Accepted Answer

The work unfolds in three stages: observation of systemic patterns and dynamics within the organization; experiential work with the herd, which serves to reveal tensions, blockages and opportunities for improvement; and exploration and integration processes that allow transferring learnings to the workplace reality. Sessions take place in the natural setting where the herd lives in semi-freedom. EQUITUM offers three modalities: individual sessions of one hour, group sessions of four to eight hours for teams of up to fifteen people, and development programmes with ongoing interventions for follow-up and support. Depending on the case, diagnostic tools such as _SYST or the PDA are incorporated.

Question 4

Is prior experience with horses necessary?

Accepted Answer

No. No prior experience with horses is required to take part in an EQUITUM session. The work is always carried out on foot: participants do not ride the horses. The methodology is based on interaction with and observation of the herd, so previous equestrian experience is not a requirement.

Question 5

What tangible benefits can an organization expect?

Accepted Answer

EQUITUM publishes three expected results of its interventions: higher quality in defining roles and responsibilities; more cohesive and effective teams, with the creation of a harmonious and productive work environment; and natural and effective conflict resolution. To these it adds what the methodology explicitly pursues: improving communication, strengthening leadership within the team, and helping the group connect better, resolve conflicts and progress together. It is worth noting that EQUITUM presents these as expected benefits and results of a support process, not as guaranteed or quantified outcomes: their extent depends on each organization and on the type of intervention.

Question 6

Where do the sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

Sessions take place in the natural setting where the herd lives in semi-freedom. EQUITUM collaborates with herds in Madrid, Barcelona, the Camargue, and Paris, and those herds belong to its collaborators. In Madrid, the estate is managed by its partner Tierra en Calma, 39 km from Madrid, where horses live in semi-freedom and in herds. Sessions are requested from the contact and session requests page.
