Why Horses?
-
Horses are tough and steadfast dance partners. Horses consistently react to stimuli provided by participants. Horses don’t judge, but they constantly assess. Their feedback is honest and instant.
-
Learning to listen to what horses have to say is powerful and can sometimes spur the answer to individual change. By including horses in specially designed educational exercises, equine-assisted facilitators have greatly multiplied the participant’s success rate in self-discovery.​​
-
Horses respond and react to the stimulus of the people they are working with and address the problem immediately. A skilled and certified facilitator has the opportunity to step in and help identify what needs to happen to move forward.
-
Horses don’t overthink a participant’s motive, but they do challenge their behavior and leadership.
