About HorseNatured
My name is Esta, and HorseNatured is the culmination of over two decades of experience in the demanding corporate world, a lifelong dedication to horses, and a deep-seated passion for human potential.
For more than 20 years, I've navigated the complexities of business, learning the intricacies of leadership, problem-solving, and strategic thinking. In recent years, I successfully built and ran a corporate training company, honing my expertise in practical skill development.
But while the corporate world offered immense learning, it was my horses that consistently provided the most profound lessons. As a horse owner for many years, I've seen firsthand how these incredible animals mirror our intentions, challenge our assumptions, and demand authentic presence. My own horses have been invaluable teachers in my journey as a leader and entrepreneur.
They taught me:
-
The Power of Clear Communication: How subtle cues and genuine intent yield far greater results than force.
-
True Resilience: How to adapt, stay calm under pressure, and navigate unexpected obstacles with grace.
-
Authentic Leadership: The difference between simply directing and truly inspiring cooperation.
-
Emotional Intelligence in Action: How our internal state directly impacts our external interactions and outcomes.
-
The Art of Presence: The profound strength found in being fully grounded and aware in the moment.
These aren't just abstract concepts. The lessons learned from the immediate, unfiltered feedback of a 600kg animal are visceral and deeply embedded, offering a profound advantage in any leadership role or personal challenge.
My journey led me to realise the immense value in combining these two worlds. HorseNatured was born from the conviction that the practical, experiential wisdom gleaned from horses, coupled with structured intellectual frameworks, offers an unparalleled pathway to mastering essential soft skills.
It's about bringing the raw, authentic feedback of the natural world into the realm of professional and personal development, enabling you to learn, adapt, and lead with greater agility and impact.
At HorseNatured, we bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing a unique platform where you can truly embed critical skills, guided by the best teachers I know.
