Madonna, Paul Revere, and Prince Charles: what do they have in common? Horses! Winston Churchill is quoted as saying “there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”

Equine facilitated learning helps to create an environment that effectively increases overall motor skills, speech and language abilities as well as behavioral and cognitive abilities---including leadership. One equine training instructor states, “Horses test your leadership skills by how well you are paying attention.” A leader’s ability to notice shifts in the environment grows exponentially during equine training.

The Miami-based mPower with Horses programs are for individuals, groups and organizations who are seeking remarkable empowerment, leadership and team-building skills. mPower with Horses provides participants with an “interactive mirror” - giving instant feedback. Participants integrate this experiential learning through hands-on-instruction, group discussions, workbook lessons and journaling. The skills learned in these programs are crucial to becoming a leader. Join Michelle Salerno, mPower President, for an intriguing session on how Leaders Learn With a Horse.

Session objectives:

• State at least two reasons we use horses to teach leadership and team-building skills.
• Describe how leaders and teams use a horse program to create cooperation as well as establish trusting, respectful relationships.
• Describe how leaders and teams use a horse program to measure leadership skills.
• Explain the process of using a horse during leadership training.
• List two local program options for equine training.
