Founded in the Great Sage Plains of SW Colorado, the couple named their human and leadership strategic development center after a mountain in the distance that is shaped like a regal horse’s head. The name also reflected the work Lisa and Jess would now do: using “the perspective of a horse” to help people unlock, to become centered and mindful, so they could reimagine the world and transform their vision of what’s possible.

Today, hundreds of people, including CEOs, financiers, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, inventors, doctors, consultants, psychologists and athletes have gone through the transformative work.

We are on a mission to provide impact-driven companies, leaders and their teams with access to their untapped human potential. We equip and empower leaders with our unique science-based system to develop themselves while they solve our world’s greatest social and environmental challenges.

 Each member of our herd is an expert in presence. They roam freely across our property. Working with Vista Caballo, allows you to step out of your world and experience theirs. Our transformative leadership development programs stem from the insights we’ve gained from working with horses to help people access their real potential.

Many people ask whether they need to have any previous experience with horses. The answer is no. We have had clients with extensive experience and others who have never touched a horse. The one thing they have in common is that after working with Vista Caballo their perspective about horses, among other things, is different.

Vista Caballo is a 160 acre ranch on the back of the Baby Grand Canyon in the ancient Anasazi lands of the Great Sage Plains. At night you watch the Milky Way as it fills the expansive sky. This area is one of the last places on earth with no light pollution. There is no noise pollution.The horses are waiting. You’re in a landscape that is predominantly sky. If a raven flies overhead, you hear air whistling through its wings. If a horse snorts, you sense it. You’re in their world. While you’re experiencing these things, you’re making discoveries about yourself: “This is the thing I’ve always known.” When you finally have said what’s important, you return home. Transformed.
