Getting out of the office and into the round pen

In this day and age, businesses, organizations and individuals are seeking new ways of empowering their people. Professionals often attend amazing Leadership or Team Building workshops only to go back to work and discover that nothing has changed. The important difference with using horses is their unique ability to facilitate real and long lasting change and transformative learning.

Equine facilitated learning can provide a non-judgemental and empowering space for self-development, team building and leadership training. An experiential learning environment is created through a variety of activities between the participants and the horse. This environment allows every participant to become fully engaged in their own unique learning process, as well as giving them the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others in the group.

Each participant is supported to develop important insights and awareness around their own practice as People, Leaders, Managers and Team Members. Participants are then supported in actively exploring these insights through their own engagement with the horses. The result, is the participants directly embody these new insights and experiences, allowing them to gain trust in this new way of being. It is the experiential and the non-judgemental space that make this form of learning so effective.

Why is it so effective for Professional Development?

It is a well-known fact, that 93% of all communication between people is conveyed non-verbally. This fact outlines the power and importance of understanding non-verbal communication in the workplace. Horses communicate 99.9% with body language, which is why they are masterful at reading human emotions and intentions. This incredible ability allows horses to give participants and teams instantaneous, real-time feedback on the effectiveness and power of their non-verbal communication for further details click here.

Experience or knowledge of horses is not required. The only requirement is an open mind and a willingness to engage. Even people with a fear of horses can benefit. The horse is simply there to help facilitate the learning process. Our horses have had extensive groundwork training and have a very calm, gentle and quiet nature.
