When we think about great leadership, the first things that often come to mind are strategy, vision, and results. And while those matter, they don’t tell the whole story.
The real measure of leadership—and of a fulfilling life—is the quality of our relationships.
That’s where Emotional Intelligence (EI) comes in.
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions—while also recognizing and responding effectively to the emotions of others.
Experts break EI down into four main skills:
- Self-awareness – recognizing your emotions and how they influence your behavior
- Self-management – staying calm, flexible, and positive under stress
- Social awareness – perceiving and empathizing with the emotions of others
- Relationship management – building trust, resolving conflict, and fostering meaningful connections
When these skills are strong, leaders don’t just achieve results—they create environments where people thrive. And outside of work, EI helps us enjoy more authentic, fulfilling relationships with the people we love most.
Why Horses Are Master Teachers of EI
Developing Emotional Intelligence isn’t something that happens only in a classroom or from reading a book—it requires real-time feedback and practice. That’s where horses come in.
Horses are prey animals, which means they are incredibly sensitive to non-verbal communication and the energy of those around them. They respond not to the words we say but to the truth of what we feel and project.
- If your body language and energy are incongruent with your words, the horse will know—and respond accordingly.
- If you’re anxious, distracted, or disconnected, the horse won’t engage.
- When you shift into authenticity, calm, and clarity, the horse mirrors that change instantly.
This immediate, honest feedback makes horses masterful teachers of Emotional Intelligence. They help us recognize blind spots, regulate emotions, and practice new ways of showing up with presence and congruence.
