Leadership through Horses FILLING

Friday February 21, 2025 12:15pm - 3:20pm MST

Participants will begin with an introduction to the horses, how to calm our nervous system with them in our presence, with focus and mindfulness through breathing exercises. We will break into small groups and build our leadership through grooming, groundwork, and fun cooperative games with the horses. We will then look at personal struggles we can relate to with our students, staff and self and work through them together to create success through building obstacles. Discussion around horse hierarchy, personalities, prey animal behaviours, creating a connection and lasting bond with these magnificent animals. Come join the herd, as we delve into a day in their lives and how they can make significant shifts in our mindset to bring out our best authentic self!
