Welcome!

For centuries, horses have been incredible partners to humans, shaping the way our civilization evolved. Today, we have discovered that horses are incredibly powerful teachers and healers, for anyone willing to listen to their wisdom. The innate sensitivity of the equine spirit helps us learn about ourselves, and use that knowledge to develop our own skills in leadership, communication, and non-verbal intelligence.

Horses never lie, pretend, or show false face. They do not know how to be anything but honest about how they feel. And, they do not understand, or accept false-fronts from the people they interact with. It makes them feel unsafe when people are not being authentic, and when people forget to live from the heart and instead listen to the self-doubts swirling around their mind. That means horses are great at teaching us how to be honest and confident. They respond instinctively and instantaneously to shifts in our attitude and behaviour, encouraging honest, authentic, and heart-lead interactions, and often ignoring everything else.

Learning with horses is learning-by-doing, and through this experience we can come to trust our own intuition and abilities. Horses exist free from limiting assumptions about potential and possibility, and Gratitude Works' "Horse Wisdom" workshops are designed to show you how you can learn to be the same.

By partnering with magnificent horse-teachers, Gratitude Works offers youth and families opportunities for personal development, empowerment, and leadership training. We have several transformational workshops available for groups, and we also offer customized sessions for schools and others youth-serving organizations targeted towards empowerment, leadership development, maintenance, and teambuilding.
