Why horses?

Horses are herd animals with an extremely well developed social life and sophisticated communication abilities which makes them the perfect partners to become co-facilitators of the program. They react in real time, in an honest way, mirroring the influence of what you have on them. Leadership and collaboration among horses is a matter of survival which means that they would only respond to powerful yet sensitive leaders who they trust. Non-verbal communication adds up to 90% of effective communication in human interactions, therefore, it’s crucial for every leader and team member to master these skills.
