Program Objectives:
Starting the Journey

What are our intentions? How do we build relationships with horses and with people? Are our thoughts and words important?
Circuit Training
Objective - Skill Development
What skills does it take to work with the horse and with the people. What do we need to be aware of to work with our horses? If that approach works with horses, would it work with people? How can we be a leader to our horse and ourselves?
Did I Hear You?
Objective - Articulating and Interpreting Thoughts
Are we really listening and hearing what someone else is saying to us; what makes a good listener; how do people feel when someone is really listening?
Power Within

What is self-esteem? Where do you get self-esteem? What does self-esteem look like? Can you see it in other people, and what do other people look like who have self esteem?
Silent Communication
Objective - Body Language
How do we speak without using our voice? How do we speak with our eyes? Can we still be clear without using our voice? Is it important to be strong with our body language?
Communication Rocks
