Riding a horse has very little to do with understanding the technical skills required to steer the horse, but everything to do with the relationship you build with your horse.  Many parallels can and will be made to human-human interactions, but unlike humans… horses live in the “now”.  We take advantage of this unique quality of the horse to teach every participant how to project calm assertive energy through non-verbal communication, and form a trusting authoritative relationship with their new steed.


How it works: Participants engage in 2-3, non-riding activities held inside of an arena. The group is assigned the task to get the horse(s) through a series of “challenges”. Like in the office, a set of rules, 5 to be precise, are given which must be adhered to, including no verbal communication! The Horseplay arena sets the stage for the individuals to think and communicate ‘outside their box” independently and collectively. Each activity works on team communication, cooperation, and adaptation.
