Equine Assisted Coaching
Take charge of your life!
What if a simple question could help you create the life you really want!
Equine Assisted Coaching… What is that?. Actually, it is for personal development, any kind! No need to have experience with horses. Equine Assisted Coaching is about accompanying you on your growth path, personal or professional.
In Equine Assisted Coaching the work is done on the ground and it’s not necessary to have knowledge of horsemanship. The horse is an additional coach, interacting with you throughout the process more passively or actively, depending on the aims and activities involved and they will give you direct and immediate feedback.
It is an experiential learning between you and the horse, where the animal becomes a mirror, a metaphor for what is happening to you. Equine Assisted Coaching is an accompaniment to develop strategies that allow you to achieve the objectives that you have set for yourself.
Why with horses?
Horses are highly emotional and social animals, capable of immediately perceiving our emotions. They are true masters in the practice of “here” and “now” and fabulous testers of authenticity and coherence. They don’t lie, they don’t have ego, they don’t judge, but they do react on what they perceive.
They are capable of accentuating our sensitivity and promoting qualities such as empathy, non-verbal communication and relationships with others. With them you can‘t cheat or lie allowing the process to be much more effective than much traditional coaching where a participant can take several sessions to open up to their coach or be honest with themselves.
Where are we?

Anais Beranger, Coach and Founder
My dreams came true. I am living by the sea and with horses, and my work is my passion. As a certified Coach and Equine Assisted Coach, I accompany people during their process of change and development, both personal and professional. I accompany them on their path to overcome their challenges, unblock their potential, improve their skills and achieve their goals.
I firmly believe in the capacity of each of us to truly connect with ourselves and those we interact with and in the power of our environment.
I undertook my own coaching process, having lived and worked in several countries, after I decided to take the leap and dedicate myself to Equine Assisted Coaching and at the same time relocate to the idyllic Costa de la luz, in Andalusia, Spain.
For more than 13 years I dedicated myself to the world of human resources in the Retail industry for Multinationals. There I forged an expertise in Training, Development, Recruitment, Communication, Engagement and Change Management working hand in hand with managers and employees towards business objectives.
In this environment I developed my listening, communication and empathy skills to help managers and employees to identify the best solutions for their teams and their own professional development.
My personal experience and professional experience allows me to provide personalized and unique support in French, Spanish and English.
The herd
We have a herd of almost 40 equines, most of them horses, a couple of donkeys and a pony. The horses live in freedom in paddocks under the shade of wild olive trees. In the herd there are all kinds of horses: English thoroughbreds, Spanish purebreds, foals, young horses in training, polo, jumping, dressage, cuddly, mischievous…each with their own distinct character; what counts is that each one has kept its personality and lives in the most natural way possible.
Testimonies
I have done the coaching with horses with Anais and it has been a wonderful experience. A way to connect with myself, with nature and horses.
A process of brutal self-knowledge that I had not experienced before. Thank you Anais for your listening, ability to accompany and for discovering parts of me that were hidden.
Totalmente recomendable
A wonderful experience, highly recommended! I did the Mindfulness workshop with horses very nice experience. A spectacular place in the middle of nature. I loved it and an incredible experience to be in fullness with the horses next to you and in the middle of nature. She explains everything very well. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
I came with no expectations but an open mind to see what is possible. The Caballo Coaching experience is such a great way to connect with yourself and also get amazing guidance. The horses are fantastic and so is Anaïs! She is such a soft and professional coach.
Highly recommend not to plan anything after the session, so that you have enough time to reflect and make the most of the guidance you’ve received.
Whatever is happening in your life, this place will give you a clearer direction. 🩷
Thank you
Anais accompanied me with professionalism, very attentive and with heart, through a very personal process. I am very grateful for having had the possibility to stabilize myself again with her support so that I have new ideas on how to better handle the difficult times I am currently going through.
It’s a gift for you! Anais is there with the horses so it’s a very personal experience… it’s all up to you…. Anais is very kind and relaxed and she asks the right questions…. the horses give you a reflection of you at that moment! I was very impressed and moved by what happened, I would never have wanted to miss this experience!
I could NEVER imagine how they could help me in such a profound way through this activity. No riding knowledge is needed, and it is AMAZING, I would say MAGICAL, how the horses perceive your emotions and feelings, reacting immediately, which makes you see and understand how to apply improvements in the areas you want to work on.
Anaïs’ guidance has been essential in this process. Through a series of carefully planned exercises and her help in explaining what is happening or asking what might be going on in that part that you don’t see, she helps a lot to move forward. It is not a matter of her giving direct advice or recommendations; rather, she makes it easier for you to come to your own conclusions.
In the five sessions I have done, I have laughed, cried and LEARNED MORE THAN I HAVE IN MANY YEARS. I have discovered essential aspects about emotions, people’s needs, the importance of listening, acceptance and how to establish limits from calmness. But most important of all, thanks to these sessions, I NOW KNOW I CAN REACH THE GOALS I have set for myself. It is not easy nor does it happen overnight, but I have already started to see results and a clear path towards improvement.
I believe that everyone, regardless of age or situation, should try this experience, personal, enriching sessions that fill your heart.
