How Can I Help You?

This workshop is a must for health and human service providers. By interacting with horses, participants will observe the affects of their body language, personal energy, tone and trust-building strategies.  Like many consumers, patients and clients, horses are very particular about their personal boundaries, sense of safety and who they deem trustworthy. Because they're non-verbal, hyper-vigilant and authentic, they offer immediate feedback to a human's approach.  

 

This 90 minute on-your-feet workshop is for individuals and groups. Discounted groups rate available for students and institutional staff: hospital, dental and medical, direct-care and senior support aides and providers, police, corrections and criminal justice personnel.
