Just to let people know, I’ve retired from formal work now so, sadly, no more official Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) sessions from Four Legged Sages.
Thank you to everyone who supported the business- as clients, as my team of human Faciliators & support crew.
Most of all, to the true core of our huge success - the biggest heartfelt thanks to the horses who were our four legged sages/teachers. Who taught with patience, honestly & unbiased feedback.
I continue to work with horses, be taught by them every day and - when special needs come along - I occasionally still let select people experience their love & wisdom.

Humbled to be worthy to be invited to be the subject of an "Unleashing Brilliance" podcast, being interviewed by the powerhouse, Janine Garner.
Today I was humbled to be thought worthy to be interviewed by powerhouse, Janine Garner, for one of her podcasts and for inclusion in her upcoming book. For those from Australia/NZ likely know Janine best as networking guru and founder of female network, LBD.

Some beautiful photos of the latest Leadership LIVE session at our Dural facilities. Will we see you up here soon?
Like horses, as humans we look to have a strong but fair leader in both our lives and our workplace. Being that great leader is an art and involves many traits, skills – and effort.

A quick sum up of why it's worth investing some time with horse Sages to get better at leadership
I’ve heard the sigh & comment from many a CEO, MD or team leader I’ve consulted to, after a tough pitch, tough financial year or loss to the competition. And as an expert in human insights for nearly 2 decades, I finally believe I have and am sharing the answer; talk to horses, learn to listen a...

The birth of a game-changing approach to teaching humans interpersonal and life skills.
About 15 years ago, I came across a number of articles about this technique gaining credibility and being used successfully in the States, Canada and parts of Europe including the UK, both with individuals, young & old, and with corporates. At its core was the ability of horses to act as a mirror to allow people to see their own behaviours and how it impacts those around them– both humans and horses. At the time I was also training in natural horsemanship (learning how to horse whisper better!) and being exposed to the incredible EQ and sensitivity that horses have to interpersonal dynamics and people’s energy.
But it was an afternoon watching a failing riding lesson being conducted that I really saw the need to show people how their verbal and non-verbal behaviours send different and conflicting messages, resulting in confusing relationships and outcomes. My behavioural science background, coupled with years of providing insights to the marketing industry about what makes people tick, were inspired and the idea for FOUR LEGGED SAGES was born.
Then 5 years ago, I completed the business plan and test-drove it with a bunch of senior HR experts. They loved the concept but had some questions around safety, insurance and the engagement factor for non-horse people. So I did some more thinking and reworking, as well as training and certification from overseas experts who had been running successful programs internationally. That really helped me tap into a brains trust of knowledge and access proven, researched methodology. That was the springboard I needed to launch, building and fine-tuning from that solid base with my own horsemanship and behavioural insights expertise.
Today, we’re growing fast as people start to become aware of what we do and the results we get. Just to be clear, this is not about loving horses, it’s about helping people see themselves and their actions in the clearest way possible to help them self learn and change where necessary. Whether it’s with corporates in the workplace, adults in life or with kids getting the hang of key life skills such as interpersonal communication, self confidence or empathy, it’s about the human impact - it just happens that horses are the best teachers of human skills!
Let us show you the difference we can make to your team, life or family - and become part of the Four Legged Sages success story. Call Linda on 0403 573 379 about our Corporates and Adult individuals work or Lisa on 0410 505 477 about our Kids or Family work.
