Learning with horses can occur in many contexts. One does not need to be a “horse person” or have experiences with horses to benefit from what they have to offer. Full Circle Farm wishes to share the benefits of learning from horses by offering individual and interactive group programs for adults and children.

Unharness your leadership potential - reach higher, dream bigger, achieve greater, and inspire others. Let horses lead you to greater leadership.

Full Circle Farm is proud to offer trailblazing leadership programs for organizations and groups. Qualities of leadership is a personal development program using horses. Horses are a unique medium for enhancing qualities that make up “leadership”. Horses are natural teachers because of their innate nature/characteristics. Horses live in the moment and are exceptionally perceptive. They require their human leaders to suspend emotion, accurately interpret potentially changing situations, and then apply appropriate leaderships skills to fit the situation. This involves learning to be more emotionally fit and effectively communicating to become a more confident and effective leader. Full Circle Farm horses along with experienced trained staff offer specially crafted dynamic horse-human interactions which will provide you the opportunity for honing your communication skills and adapt your leadership style and become a better problem solver for challenging situations.
