NPR and Leadership/Executive Training

Well, I was able to review the information about the Horse Institute, which is located in Ancramdale, New York. I felt sure it was going to be in California, but hey, what do I know?
The institute specializes in "equine-assisted learning"

The learning involves team work and problem solving, and small teams are assigned to specific tasks, all of which involve a horse or two.

It really wasn't that much about leadership, but I thought I would share it anyway as it involves human behavior and understanding the workplace. Supposedly, the consultants believe horses can help companies assess new hires, or even decide whether or not employees are in the right job to begin with.

The full article is located
