“People can change behaviors to be better individuals and employees”

We offer the social support to empower your employees with the skills & tools needed to change behaviors for the positive.

This Wellness Programme shows your investment in your employees as an important asset to the business.

Our cutting-edge, experiential package uses the abilities of horses and their natural herd dynamics to take leaders and teams to the next level. Through involvement in carefully designed activities, individuals learn about themselves as they experience and see their strengths and challenges from a new perspective. This is a unique, innovative and fun approach to wellness in the workplace.

“The challenge for every organization is to build a feeling of oneness, of interdependence on one another…the question is usually not how well each person works, but how well they work together” - Vince Lombardi

When you offer your employees an opportunity to enhance their wellness you are telling them that you respect them, you trust them, and that you want to help them be successful in life. Studies show that only 15% of a person’s success is determined by job knowledge and technical skills, while 85% is determined by an individual’s attitude and ability to relate to other people. (John C. Maxwell,” Winning With People: Discover the People Principles that Work for You Every Time”)

Why Horses?
Horses are our diagnostic wizards. They reflect where an individual or group is aligned and working effectively, as well as where possible gaps or lack of clarity and communication are impeding success. These unbiased reflections help one to develop the inner commitment and character required to be successful in this rapidly changing world. Teams are encouraged to use creative strategies to problem solve and negotiate with one another and the horses through focused activities. (NO HORSE RIDING)

How does it work?
Our pioneering, experiential package uses the abilities of horses and their natural herd dynamics to take leaders and teams to the next level. Through involvement in carefully designed activities, the experiences in the arena allow for metaphors to emerge. These link up to what’s happening in ‘the real life’ i.e. work and personal space. The horses might become the current challenges or clients and will respond to the team’s dynamic as well as the individuals’ personal behaviors, including thoughts, intentions and feelings. Through this horse-team relationship, participants are offered the opportunity to explore, adjust and gain the awareness needed to bring about positive in the workplace. This is a unique, innovative and fun approach to wellness in the workplace.
