| NOW BOOKING! HORSESENSE PROGRAMS EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING FOR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT |
We were delighted to start up our HORSESENSE program
on December 5th, our first session was titled: “A Little Bit
of Horse Sense.” The program was a bigger success than
we imagined. This was not a horsemanship program but
rather a program for personal and professional
development.
In the HORSESENSE programs, people will have the
opportunity to work with our horse facilitators to gain
greater insights into things such as how you “team” with
others, how you lead, increase your self-awareness, better
understand the differences between assertion and
aggression, and enhance your problem solving skills as
well as learning to overcome obstacles in your workplace.
WHY HORSES? Horses are responsive beings with
awareness of and sensitivity to their surroundings. Like
people, horses have individual personalities, as well as
physical abilities and limitations. Horses very accurately
sense a person’s level of trust, confidence, awareness,
and interpersonal skills. Horses are herd animals, and
followers. Exceptional leaders benefit from learning “what
followers follow.”
As with human-to-human relationships, goals can be
accomplished only after a partnership has been created. A
partnership is based on self-awareness, knowledge of
relationship dynamics and understanding the “other’s”
perspective. Horses give us immediate and honest
feedback about what we need to know and also what we
need to change about achieving partnerships with others.
When you set out to accomplish a goal with the horse as
your “customer” or “client” or "employee" or “current
