Programs: Tactical Teamwork: Team-building, Leadership and Communication Team up with equines for some tactical teamwork strategies! Our organization uses tactical team building and management exercises to teach team building skills, leadership, and communication techniques. All of which can be applied to teams at work or everyday life and with children and in your marriage. These exercises are designed to teach groups; how to work together, resolve challenges and build confidence, self-esteem, trust, respect, leadership and communication, through the eyes of a horse. Read At Ease: Read with an Equine Read with Reba or one of our other attentive equine and discover the joy of reading. Unlike people animals are non-threatening and non-judgmental. This helps children who lack confidence in their reading ability to develop literacy skills, improve their oral reading skills and build confidence and self-esteem in a safe, comfortable and fun environment.
