"This was so unexpected. I was skeptical to begin with, couldn’t think how this would be relevant to leadership. It is totally relevant."

What you learn is important, however, what you remember is priceless.

In our ever-changing economy, your employees are your most valuable asset. It’s time to engage in a hands-on program that gives your team a unique experience to acquire and fine tune valuable skill sets that can be applied in the workplace. Equus uses a proactive approach to empowering individuals through group activities with a focus on appreciating and building on individual qualities while having some extreme fun in doing so a 1,200 pound horse won’t move just because you tug on her halter…

Identify “natural” leaders immediately. Strong leaders have an inner confidence and possess many positive qualities such as determination, commitment and compassion. Horses are innately astute and immediately identify these positive traits as well as sensing anxious, aggressive and nervous energy. Horses seek to find trusting and respectful leadership and a team's success depends on creating that relationship, while having fun at the same time are you using the right tools for the job?
"What a unique way to learn! Any team would benefit from this experience."

PARTICIPATION, RETENTION, AND OH YEAH...
A HORSE!
You Want Results. You Want Leaders.
Our Certified Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) program takes your employees out of the regular ‘classroom’ setting and ratchets up their critical skills and competency at each leader-level though horse/human interaction. This translates into improved productivity. An interactive team and leadership development program with irrefutable results.
​
Sort out the qualities of your employees by putting the horse in the middle of your team. Horses reveal the hidden dynamics of teams so that they can be effectively managed. It's the truest of honesty as to identify individual and team’s qualities and what they may or may not be showing you. The horse can discern and give honest feedback as they know no other way.
Much like horses, we look for strong leadership and mutual trust and respect is only given and reciprocated once there is a strong leader to follow. Using horses as a corporate team building tool can give your business leaders the chance to learn how to be an authentic leader; a leader that people will follow and trust.
​
At the most basic level of all skills are interpersonal communications skills, which also tends to be one of the most lacking in today's corporate environment. Horses reveal the hidden dynamics of your team. Program activities are designed to facilitate problem solving that encourages individuals to work cohesively as a team for positive results. This unique style of horse/human interaction is an effective approach to team building and leadership development and is a powerful metaphor for the work environment.
​
All programs are specifically setup for your team and your objectives. There is no guessing what your team will get out of the day as we select the programs that will work best for you.
