Equine Assisted Learning provides a uniquely different approach to leadership and team development through the use of horses. Horses provide a real-live mirror for participants’ thoughts, emotions and behaviours’ which may not be in consciousness; yet influence the decisions they make and the outcomes experienced. Working with our horses as facilitators you will see that attitude is nearly everything. Experience how important trust, respect, honesty, humility, integrity, and authenticity are in effective communication and in getting results. If you can get a horse to trust you and follow you imagine what you could do in other aspects of your life? Focus, innovation, creativity and cooperative group dynamics contribute to the success in accomplishing the objectives of the group. Frustration, foibles and fun are also a part of the process. Both successes and failures lead to greater personal awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses and overall contribution to the group.

Shumbashaba corporate training and development programmes encompass leadership development, team development, personal growth, diversity awareness and sensitisation training, conflict resolution, creative problem solving as well as custom made programmes to meet specific corporate needs.
