You cannot lie to a horse. They see through a "polished" or false veneer. This is why "Horse Assisted Personal Development Workshops" work so well.
Horses communicate through body language and non-verbal communication; they are not concerned with a person's position, rank or wealth. Horses see people as they truly are. They respond to the manner in which people conduct and project themselves. The horse picks up even the smallest signals - those typically not processed, not tolerated or ignored by colleagues.

A horse is constantly asking, "who is leading?", "Who is in charge", "What is required of me".  They have an innate need and ability to establish rank and position quickly.
To get horses to follow instructions, humans can only use their powers of persuasion as an average horse weighs around 500kg, a human cannot physically move it.
As horses mirror your internal thoughts they will not respond well to overbearing, indecisive or conflicting messages. In this experiential workshop environment, understanding how you project yourself is enlightening, and if in a peer-group workshop, watching your colleagues is both great fun and educational.

Our practical approach includes personal development methods, reflective learning, analytical assessment and behaviour identifying techniques. All exercises are carried out unmounted, participants are walking and working the horses.
After an initial welcome and briefing, participants undertake a one-on-one workout sessions walking and working with their horse.  These are held outdoors on the sand arena and are recorded for analysis on video.
The second workshop component is analysis. Here we review the workout videos and discuss the analysis of the behaviours identified. This analytical process is core component of the program as the feedback provided is key to understanding and fulfilling your potential.
In the full day workshop, after lunch, participants go back to the sand arena to agin undertake a one-on-one workout sessions walking and working with their horse, with the new knowledge gained amending their behaviours and attitudes.

Horsepower Personal Skills Development Workshops are held at "Koolyangarra Equestrian Centre", a beautiful location in the Adelaide Hills, 20 minutes from Adelaide CBD.
Our experienced horse handlers are registered with NCAS Equestrian Australia and you will be working with horses selected for their ability to interact well with people.
