The Horse Institute is the vision of Marie-Claude Stockl and Larry Stockl, two
seasoned corporate executives who grew frustrated with spending valuable
training budgets on the same old courses year after year. (Think drab conference
rooms, endless slide show presentations, and the relief of logging on to e-mail
for distraction.) Understanding that the only thing more challenging than
providing best-in-class coaching is getting attendees’ attention, Marie-Claude
and Larry made it their mission to create a dynamic new teaching method -- one
that engages participants in a more impactful, insightful and memorable way.
Introducing The Horse Institute, where real-world corporate leadership expertise
meets experiential coaching in the form of Equine Assisted Learning. The Horse
Institute’s human and equine faculty guide participants to “Aha!” moments in the
areas of leadership, effective communication and teamwork, then translate them
into actionable next steps that transform workplace performance. Learning with
horses provides a whole new perspective. We call it Leadership Development
Through Fresh Eyes. Located in the Heart of the Historic Hudson Valley The Horse
Institute is situated on 30 scenic acres about 100 miles north of New York City
and a few minutes drive from the town of Pine Plains. Surrounded by rolling
hills, local farms and stunning views, The Horse Institute offers a breath of
fresh air and a "fresh eyes" experience away from business as usual.
