The Transformational Impact of Horses
By engaging with these remarkable animals, you’ll experience personal breakthroughs that can deeply impact your relationships, your leadership effectiveness, and your ability to achieve your goals. The intuitive nature of horses helps create a dynamic environment where you can push beyond self-imposed limits, see new possibilities, and foster deeper connections with yourself and others.
Whether you’re an individual seeking personal growth or a team striving for collective success, the horses in our program offer a transformative experience that goes beyond conventional coaching methods. They challenge you, inspire you, and ultimately empower you to lead with purpose and integrity.
Our Proprietary Relationship Intelligence™ Model
Over the years, Marlene Armstrong & Maureen Donoghue developed their own proprietary Relationship Intelligence™ Model based on their experiences with clients, what the horses bring to the table and science-based research, which allows them to custom-design the experiential sessions for Unbridled Coaching clients.
Enhance your connections through Relationship Intelligence™ (RI), a powerful approach that fosters both self-awareness and stronger relationships with others. Blending emotional and conversational intelligence to elevate both personal and professional relationships.
Our RI model helps individuals — whether leaders or team members — gain a deeper understanding of their beliefs and behaviours. It focuses on self-awareness, self-management and conversational intelligence empowering individuals to better navigate their emotions and actions. The result is healthier, more resilient relationships, both with oneself and with others, leading to greater harmony and collaboration in every aspect of life.
The Silent Teachers: How Horses Elevate Leardership by Harnessing the Power of Relationship Intelligence
At Unbridled Coaching, we use the wisdom of horses to transform leadership through experiential learning. Horses, with their intuitive and social nature, reflect leadership dynamics with clarity and honesty — offering immediate, non-judgmental feedback that accelerates self-awareness and growth.
This immersive approach helps leaders move beyond traditional, top-down models, developing key competencies like clear communication, emotional intelligence, and trust-based influence. Guided by our Relationship Intelligence™ model, participants uncover deeper insights into how they lead and connect — building stronger teams and healthier workplace cultures.
Building Teams with High Relationship Intelligence™
Workplace culture isn’t built by policies — it’s built by people. Every conversation, whether spoken or silent, shapes the quality of relationships within your organization. Over time, these interactions define your culture.
At Unbridled Coaching, we help organizations cultivate Relationship Intelligence™ — the ability to lead and connect through trust-based, emotionally intelligent communication. High Relationship Intelligence™ creates a culture where conversations are open, respectful, and grounded in trust. In contrast, low-trust environments often lead to breakdowns in collaboration, innovation, and morale.
Through our experiential programs — in partnership with horses — we guide leaders and teams to develop:
- Self-awareness and social awareness
- Trust-building behaviors and emotionally intelligent leadership
- The ability to navigate difficult conversations with empathy and clarity
- We also draw on cutting-edge neuroscience to help teams understand the biology of trust and how it impacts connection, communication, and performance.
See how our Relationship Intelligence™ Model aligns with key team competencies — and how it transforms the way teams connect, collaborate, and lead.

When Cathy Hay, President and Founder, was looking to deepen trust and connection within her team, she turned to Unbridled Coaching for a customized Equus experience.
“To succeed in our industry, we need the courage to explore unconventional approaches to design — so trust is essential. Unbridled Coaching created a unique experience for our team that allowed me to see the depth of trust within our group. Through our interactions with the horses, we saw how they mirrored our confidence, clarity, and communication — all in a nonjudgmental way. It gave us real, lasting insights. I highly recommend this experience to any leader who wants to tap into and amplify the talents of their team.”— Cathy Hay, President & Founder, Hay Design
