We had a great day with Your Horse Magazine recently when they attended one of our Teambuilding days. It was great for me to try the exercises out with ‘horsey’ people as most of the time, people have had nothing to do with horses who attend the days.

The team were great, getting into the swing of things with the cane exercise. This is a fun exercises that can help you understand how important communication, listening and delegating a leader is to achieve a task.

They all met the horses and experienced that if their goals weren’t the same, or implemented well, how the horses would go off and do their own thing. The teams of two were then left to ponder on how to work together to achieve the same goal but using their different skills. Lots to talk about!

Then the whole team was put together to achieve the task of getting the horse to walk in between two cones. This started off well but then Black Jack had other ideas and went off to see his friends. This then allowed the team to learn about nominating a leader, positioning people in their strengths zones, having a plan, and most of all having a back up plan! When they got all this sorted you can see the results…… and all done in a 5 acre field, amazing!

Well done Your Horse Team. The article comes out next year in the Your Horse Magazine
