Example of Horse Assisted
Problem Solving
Problem:
A horse is loose in an enclosed arena. How do you get him to go between an object or jump in the center of the arena?
Rules:
- No touching the horse
- No bribing the horse with treats
- No talking to your team mates “only non-verbal”
- No yelling
- No scaring the horse.
Your team (two students or more) have three minutes to come up with a plan. Now, start activity. GOOD LUCK!
Start:
At the end of the activity, the counselor can help evaluate the problems they had during the exercise and work on ways to improve the communication with the team member(s) in the activity.
Activities
Interaction with horses changes lives and leaves a lasting impression on our heart.
The horse related activities used in the program is based on horse herd communication.
Horses are honest in their feelings. When horses are fearful, concerned, angry, confused, curious and more it all comes out in their body language. Learning how to read their body language is like learning a new language. As we become more confident the horse becomes more compliant.
Most of what we project to others is non-verbal. Horses mirror our emotions and actions teaching us so much about ourselves.
