Experiential Learning With Horses
Engaging with horses and nature in focused and reflective activity relevant to real time life issues and authentic work situations challenges us to learn how to think rather than what to think.
The benefit of learning with horses is that horses respond to honest and enthusiastic relationship, credible forward-thinking leadership, and to committed and engaging team work. Horses have an amazing ability to resonate with and reflect back to us our authentic self. It is not about horsemanship, nor do you ride the horse. Partnering with horses in our "Experiential Learning with Horses" programs you will have the opportunity to clarify your vision, embody your commitment, expand your natural ability, team effectiveness and organizational capacity.
Horses are natural leaders - The herd is relationally responsible. Horses are born natural leaders trusting their senses, knowing their purpose and taking clear action. A horse herd is inclusive - everyone belongs, everyone is essential, everyone matters. Relationship is primary in the herd - it is based on trust, clear communication, and the importance of each horse’s place in th herd.
