H4C Team Building

Team BUILDING

This innovative Team Building Workshop helps teams to understand how their behaviours and communication skills can effect and influence others. Working with our equine colleagues and coaches you will be challenged to look at yourself, the way you communicate and how this affects your ability to build relationships.

​As a herd animal the horse is ideally placed to help show us the need for and the value of successful relationships and team work.  They will show you what team work is really based upon.

This workshop will help you gain insight into yourself and the human skills you need to develop in order to function as part of a cohesive and effective team.

These workshops are held in a different and unique setting and are Fun!

Team Fun Days

We also offer Team Fun Days – days that include ‘games’ with the horses to tie in  with a team approach and include practical exercises that will encourage a team spirit and growth within the team.

The pool and tennis courts are also included in the day – weather permitting.

The days ‘can’ also include a range of ‘non horse’ related activities.
