Why Horses?
As prey animals, horses are hyper-vigilant by nature, always assessing their surroundings for danger, ready to take flight. The safer they feel in the hands of a confident leader, the more relaxed they become.
Horses are non-verbal, and assess the confidence of their leaders by reading energy and body language, a nuanced skill that can be developed by working with horses and practiced in the office.
Working with horses in an unfamiliar environment can be intimidating. Establishing a leadership role with a horse increases confidence that can be carried into any new challenge in life. Participants who share this experience often feel a sense of comradery and bonding.
