GENERAL INFORMATION AND PROGRAM MODEL:
This very unique program goes beyond the limits of very standart leadership and coaching programs and focuses on horses, an animal very close to humans.
Within the program, communication, listening, understanding, empathy, directing, creating a common language, being a team, trust, self esteem, selling, team cohesion, stress and motivation management, coordination and management skills and other subjects can be practised.
We go on an very pleasing adventure where we discover how our inner world and prejudgment effects our experiences in every program we organise with horses.
We design every program fitting to the needs of the company. They’re ‘Tailor Made’. Horse backed gain programs are done absolutly on ground, not on horses. Horse programs can be defined as didactic experiences rather than a standart training.
Why Horses?
" Horses are wise mentors in this unique type of work. As prey animals, their “flight” instincts become instant mirrors and non-judgmental feedback mechanisms for humans. Horses sense and respond to a person’s intentions, emotions and thoughts that are conveyed subconsciously through body language. Through the experience of observing a horse’s response to their requests and directions, each person learns how to communicate more effectively, face their fears and manage their emotions, and become more consistent and congruent with their actions.
Through observation of herd dynamics and one-on-one interaction with individual horses, attendees also learn new relationship building skills. A tremendous confidence boost comes from learning how to connect with and direct a one-thousand-pound animal while standing on the ground. Sessions with horses are highly interactive and provide an ‘in the moment’ learning experience, teaching skills which can be difficult to acquire in more traditional settings."
