I spent fifteen years performing at the top of corporate fashion, leading creative teams at multi-billion dollar brands; Senior Art Director at Abercrombie & Fitch for nearly a decade, Global Creative Director at Tommy Hilfiger in Amsterdam, and Senior Creative Director at Old Navy, twice.
I knew how to lead teams, make decisions, and deliver campaigns at a high level.
From the outside, it looked like success.
But internally, something was off. I was constantly on, but never fully present.
I was disconnected, exhausted, and constantly seeking something outside of myself to make me feel alive.
Then I met the wild horses, and everything changed.
Jaye Riedinger
Horses are prey animals wired for survival. Their nervous systems are constantly reading the room, registering every shift in energy, breath, and body. They respond to shutdown the same way they respond to a predator: they move away. They respond to presence by moving closer. You can't outthink them. You can't fake who you are with them. That's part of what makes working with them so powerful.
Honest
Breath, posture, tension, shutdown. Horses register all of it before you are conscious of it yourself.
Immediate
The feedback is immediate and honest. No interpretation, no delay, no agenda. Just a direct response to what is actually there.
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
