“ My motivation at work was completely gone. I have a tendency to make myself small. The workshop made me better understand the importance of good communication. I now feel stronger and I dare to speak my mind. Yes, this also improves the bond with colleagues. It was a nice day. Thanks Rommersum, Ingrid. ”

 "The Horse Power Scan was a truly eye-opening experience. Without needing many words, the horses showed me how I really show up — in life and in my work. What energy I radiate, how I use (or block) my inner strength, and where I still hold myself back. The session took place in the peaceful surroundings of the Horse Act retreat, in a natural, safe environment where you immediately feel: I can just be myself here. Ilse and her team guide the process with care and without judgment — but it’s the horses who do the real work: pure, intuitive, and honest. You immediately sense what’s aligned — and what’s not. I discovered that I often try too hard, while it’s actually my softness that allows for true connection. That insight hit me deeply, not because someone told me, but because I felt it — through the horse’s response to my presence. The combination of the typetest results, the live interaction with the horse, and the debriefing afterwards makes this a very transformative journey. No fluff, just clear and meaningful feedback you can actually use — both in your professional and personal life... the Horse Power Scan is an absolute must."

 “The digital questionnaire was actually my preparation for an encounter with one of the horses at Horse Act. I answered it as truthfully and deeply as possible — the more information I provided, the more accurate the analysis could be, I thought. Triggered by the questions, I then scheduled a live session with one of the horses at Hof van ’t Rommersum. It turned out to be a beautiful complement to the initial questionnaire — and also a confronting one. Ilse Melotte had carefully selected the horse for me based on my preparation, choosing the one that would mirror exactly where my growth potential lay and where I wasn’t yet fully using my strengths. It’s a wonderful form of guidance, connection, development, discovery, confrontation, and renewal. Experiencing a session with Lander, the anchor stallion, under Ilse’s professional guidance was a privilege. Highly recommended for anyone who embraces connection and personal growth.” – Nancy

“With our team of seven, we took part in the full-day workshop The Silent Language at Horse Act. No role-playing, but a genuine experience centered around non-verbal communication — together with the horses. We began with a short theoretical introduction about body language, intention, and the power of energy in communication. Then we went to the paddock to work with the Horse Act horses. Each team member had the opportunity to connect with a horse, individually or in pairs — without words. Only through presence, posture, breathing, and inner calm. Over the course of the day, the atmosphere in our team shifted. There was more calm, more real listening.

The feedback afterwards was unanimously positive. We learned that communication is so much more than what you say. Highly recommended for any team that wants to grow in mutual understanding and respectful alignment.”

As a construction company, we’re used to working with hard materials, tight deadlines, and clear structures. But during our team event at Horse Act, we discovered something completely different: the gentle power of connection. Under the guidance of Ilse and her horses, we experienced how our communication, energy, and collaboration were quite literally reflected in the behavior of a horse. No masks, no hierarchy — just real interaction. It was both confronting and enlightening.

What struck us most? That true connection isn’t about control, but about trust and alignment. That realization was an eye-opener — not only for us as a team but also as leaders. The session with Lander, the wise leader of the herd, showed us how subtle leadership can be when it comes from a place of calm and respect. It’s an experience that will stay with us for a long time — on our worksites and in our meetings alike.

A unique and powerful day that brought us closer together as a team — and to ourselves. Highly recommended.

“Wow, wow, wow! That report… I have no words. This isn’t just a snapshot — this is truly who I am! A real reality check, reading so clearly how I’m actually wired, things I’m not always consciously aware of. The session itself was already so beautiful, but this just completes it all. I can’t even explain how this makes me feel — but it’s all positive! I honestly found this a magical experience! 🫶🏼
As I said before, it’s a pity there aren’t more people like you in this world, because someone like you makes everything so much more beautiful. 🫶🏼 Because of you, I’ve already dared to take steps I never would have before. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Dear Ilse,
Coaching means going into depth. But it's so nice to give each other feedback in the middle of the horses. Forget everything for a moment and pay attention to yourself. And pay attention to pain points, to allow them to surface and release without too much pain. Indeed in a place in the here and now. Realizing that we are all perfectly fine. We can be there. Thank you. I return home with a warm feeling and a broad smile. Grateful and full of love. Love Marijke”

"I compliment you on your friendly approach. It was very easy to communicate with you and discuss everything regarding the workshop. You were always willing to answer questions and meet our wishes. The flexibility and openness you showed , made the whole organization smooth and pleasant.

Thank you again for creating such an unforgettable experience. You gave my sister a birthday gift that she will cherish forever. I will definitely recommend you to friends and family who are interested in similar workshops."
