The HorsePower® archetype model forms the core of Horse Act’s research and development approach. Built on more than ten years of experience in leadership, coaching, and equine-assisted learning, this model was developed as a scientifically grounded and experiential method to make personal strength, authenticity and collaboration tangible.
The model is inspired by the natural dynamics of a horse herd — an intelligent system in which leadership, trust, and cooperation are continuously balanced. These same principles are translated into human contexts: organizations, teams and individuals.
Through the four fundamental archetypes, we gain insight into how people move, on a deeper level, between intuition, action, reflection, and structure. Together, these four energies form a complete compass for emotional intelligence (EQ) and authentic leadership.
Today, the HorsePower® model is applied in:
- EQ-based assessments and leadership programs (Horsepower® scans & assessments)
- Team and organizational development, helping to make collective dynamics visible
- Research and training, serving as a framework for behavioral observation, talent development, and sustainable growth
