Horses don't just reflect us, they guide us toward truth. The field of Equine Assisted Learning is an experiential approach where participants engage in activities with horses to develop life skills, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence. Equine Guided Insight℠ is Leiko’s unique approach within Equine Assisted Learning that begins by giving horses choice and freedom. When they are free to move and engage at will, they show up in ways that can't be planned or taught. By stepping into their world, on their terms, we open ourselves to experience the flow and magic of becoming a part of the herd. We meet them as they are and in turn, they meet us as we are, free from agenda, judgment or effort, free to simply be and authentically connect. In EGI, we believe this is where true healing and transformation begins.

With hearts 5-10 times larger than humans and 35 million years of evolutionary wisdom, horses can intuit emotions and sense subtle cues that we often miss. This sensitivity allows them to help us see our blind spots and recongnize where we need support.
Their non-judgmental presence offers a safe space where we can honestly express our feelings. They don’t see emotions as good or bad. They see them as information and energy that needs to flow. They only ask us to be authentic with who we are in that moment.
I believe true healing happens through relationship—with others and the natural world. Horses help us reconnect with the web of life, helping us feel supported and seen.
In this work, we slow down to listen to the wisdom of our bodies and hearts. Guided by horses, we return to our innate state of embodied and authentic presence.
Nestled in the serene Berkshire mountains of New England, Mountain Song Farm provides a peaceful setting to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and the energy of horses.
We are a 20-minute drive from Lenox and Great Barrington, Massachusetts and a 2.5-hour drive from both Boston and New York City.
