This is what "Hoofbeats", the Lake Erie College October News, wrote:

The Power of the Horse

The equestrian center had a very special event when Gerhard and Karin Krebs from Germany and David Harris from England came to give faculty, students, and guests a demonstration of their way of working with horses. Their program introduces people from all walks of life to horses in a new way: they take workers from corporations and businenesses and bring them to their farm to interact with their horses. Their horses help those people to learn things not only about horses, but about themselves, and communicating and working with others.

After presenting a video of each of their companies, Gerhard and David led a demonstration in the warm-up arena. Two different exercises were conducted with horses, both with participants from the audience. The first exercise was entitled "Distance and Nearness", in which the volunteer learned how to send the horse away from them and bring the horse back to them. This allowed leadership and trust between the horse and the person. The second demonstration involved a leading exercise with obstacles and different volunteers.

After the demonstration, everyone met again in the classroom for a question and answer session before the evening ended. This presentation provided a great introduction into one of many ways horses can be used in our society, and we thank the Krebs' and Harris' for their willingness to speak at Lake Erie College.

  • Looks like everyone had a great time and learnt a lot about their leadership style!

    Would be great if this became a part of management training for all future courses at the College - or, perhaps it already is?

    Great job, Gerhard & Dave!
