"What Bev took us through exceeded my expectations. I learned through working with the horse and my team how to communicate with the team and Lia the horse without sight or speaking. It helped me to grow to understand the importance of teamwork and to reconnect with myself honestly, working as a team."
Annette Presley
"Excellent process to watch various groups deal with individual problems. Hard for me not to say anything, I think you get used to solving issues/problems rather than letting individuals/groups resolve or deal with themselves.
Overall, very thought provoking. Thanks".
Scott Wilson - Kowhai Physio
"Wonderful to connect with the team and learn to trust in working together to achieve the goals. Once we allowed ourselves to be still and really listen to each other everything fell into place. A beautiful moment with beautiful souls. Feel very honoured to have shared this time and quite humbled. Bev, amazing facilitation and guidance. Thank you"
Amanda van Ryan - Lexel
"Interesting to observe staff outside their comfort zone, Seeing how effectively they worked as a team, seeing who led. Excellent to see staff really enjoy a totally new experience and connecting together as a team.
I felt you as instructors were excellent in your delivery and encouragement and really made our staff comfortable in what was to some a possibly threatening environment/situation as they were unsure of handeling horses. Thank you."
Toni Wilson - Kowhai Physio
"Excellent activity utilizing a variety of communication methods, teamwork, planning, problem solving and awareness of the effect on the team member who couldn't talk but communicated back in response to our actions".
Marcus
"Loved it and really enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere and great support from Bev. Will recommend this to others because it fires insight into yourself and others. Thanks".
Thelma
"I thoroughly enjoyed being introduced slowly to a real gentle princess (Lia) and being allowed to get to know the horse through touch.
Very gentle but fun program and got a lot out of it for communication. I would highly recommend to people of all ages."
Clare
"Fun & safe environment to realise and learn about your own personality traits. Ideas to take back out into the world"
Lisa
"I thoroughly enjoyed my day today. I didn't know that I was coming to work with horses. The teamwork involved was great and we learned a lot about each other and ourselves. Bev was great with the knowledge she gave us. I would highly recommend this experience."
Alison
"Brilliant experience, soft, friendly and fun filled. Our team worked wonderfully together, mainly thanks to our genius 'princess Lia'. Acceptance of all team members including Lia was what made it a real treat, showing us how flexibility is a key to working together and reaching goals, whatever they may be.
Thank you for providing this wonderful opportunity."
Adva
"Great experience, good to step out of our confirm zone. Really loved Lia! she was a lovely natured horse.
I liked having to work together to solve the problems and include the horse in the process".
Emma
"My first reaction was panic and pure terror of having to handle a horse, but through the teams communication and willingness of Inky, I felt confident being around her by the end of the session. It was a great session and I feel quite proud of how we both interacted. Thank you."
Nikki
"Awesome, thank you. Really liked working and interchanging leadership roles. If there was a breakdown in communication, we stopped, discussed, worked out our plan and started again. Loved being with the horses. Thank you".
