TEAM
BUILDING
YOUR ORGANIZATION IS UNIQUE, SHOULDN'T YOUR TEAM EVENTS BE TOO?
It's time to think outside the boardroom.
Our Team Building Events takes your team out of the regular office setting and allows for the development of critical skills alongside the horse, which facilitates an opportunity for all members of your company to learn to work together effectively, and therefore, improve the overall success of your business. Participants are guaranteed to leave the arena with a measurable improvement that can be directly applied to daily life. Moral will be higher, therefore productivity is increased, and your top line sales will directly show it. Our horses make it possible for everyone to walk away with new knowledge.
Your experience will be priceless; the lessons learned will stay with your organization for life. With the horse as the teacher, we will be able to sort out the best qualities of all your employees and therefore ensure that you have the best team working for you. Horses reveal the hidden dynamics of teams so that they can be effectively managed. There is no riding our teachers, they are with us to provide answers and honest feedback. You will be amazed at how productivity will significantly increase, as your employees will leave with powerful and critical communication, problem solving and teamwork skills!
"I was lucky enough to attend a team building session with my coworkers, and we all had a blast. There were definitely some nerves involved, but there's very tangible confidence that comes from leading around such a large and powerful animal. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn communication and teamwork building skills!"

INNOVATIVE, MEMORABLE, & RESULTS-ORIENTED SOLUTIONS.
Much like horses, team members look to strong leaders that they mutually trust and respect. This trust and respect is earned when the leader is able to be an effective example to which others desire to be with. Working with horses as a 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. Working with horses creates a unique experience that causes all in attendance to remember the skills far longer than if sitting in 'just‐another‐classroom.
COLLABORATIVE VS COMPETITIVE.
Many team events are based on competition, but don’t you want your teams to work TOGETHER like a well oiled machine! You don’t have to like every member of your team, but if you can COMMUNICATE and understand how to effectively communicate with one another, your team can be unstoppable.
Our horses can help your team with just that! Horses are unbelievably effective teachers of leadership training. Because horses seek leadership by their very nature, they can help humans become better leaders and team members.
Following the example of herd dynamics, one can draw parallels between horse and human life. The stallion of a herd is like the CEO of the office, having the big picture in mind. The rest of the herd are like the workers in the office setting, all having their important parts to play in the grand scope of the team effort.
"This was so unexpected. I was skeptical to begin with, couldn’t think how this would be relevant to leadership. It is totally relevant."

WARNING: YOUR EXECUTIVE TEAM MAY ACTUALLY ENJOY THIS EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP!!
Everyone knows that knowledge is power. Knowledge can be memorized, experience comes with time, but the most important attribute to a successful employee is the foundation of practical SKILLS that they have gained due to their knowledge and experience.
One of the most underused skills that is lacking in most workplaces is communication. The horse can uncover the underutilized abilities that are already present in your organization and put them into action to work for you. Our programs are constructed to allow individuals to creatively accomplish a common goal which requires clear, constructive communication to find success. 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.
