Why Horses?
Accomplishing a task involving the horse builds confidence and provides for visible metaphors when dealing with other intimidating and challenging situations in life.
The horse human relationship dates back to 4000 B.C.
A horse’s large stature is intimidating yet empowering.
Horses are prey animals: Comfort in herds, connect together under stress.
Provide visible lessons in terms of nonverbal body language.
"What I hear, I forget; what I see I remember; what I do, I understand."
