"Using horses gave a completely new dimension of working on my leadersghip style and personality."

 "It was a great surprise for me how much the horse-based methodology resonates even with people who do not fancy animals very much. The greatest impression on me was how different ly people can interpret a not very complicated situation: the person who experiences it and the environment who sees it. I find this methodology very useful both in getting to know ourselves and in leadership training."

Participants' feedback about the open horse-assisted training day (9/2/2011)

"At first it wasn't all our top managers who fancied the idea that we should develop ourselves building on the instinctual capabilities of horses; the idea seemed irregular and very bizarre. However, the atmosphere got better after the preparation interviews, but actually it was the training itself, the personal experience itself that gave us the hope that we can take part in a very useful and priceless training. What made the picture complete was when the trainers and we interpreted the horses' reaction to our behaviours. I recommend this irregular but in the long run absolutely memorable training to everybody who's open to accept the interpretation of instinctual responses of such 'independent' experts as horses about their character, which helps to more profoundly understand the present behaviour as a manager and to develop it in the future.

The venue of the training was the manège in Karmacs, near Hévíz, and it is in itself a wonderful location that provides extraordinary opportunities to relax. The beautiful landscape and the hospitality of the local people add more spice to our unforgettable memories."

"A new wonderland has opened for us: we got realistic feedback."

"New venue, new methodology, beautiful surroundings, professional trainers who are serious about their work and really want to convey new knowledge."

"Dear Gábor,

I'd like to share my opinion about your horse assisted training for managers. As I've never been close to horses, I was a bit afraid of these bulky and strong animals. My first surprise was that each and every horse is an individual. Then I realised that horses get to know me much quicker than any person! No way to explain, there're no credentials, there's no position, only acceptance or repulsion. Being a manager, one of my special task was to find the method that makes the horse co-operate with me. It's almost easier to get along with people...

My greatest success was that I managed to 'tame' a disobedient horse without resorting to violence. The training was a turning point in my attitude to horses: I've loved them since then. I have some experiences to tell about and I long for being together with them again. Thank you for this special experience!"

Then my apprehension was outdone by my curiosity and I'm very happy that it happened this way. Though I still had to convince our managers about this 'seemingly crazy' idea, but Gábor Suhai dissipated all doubts with his patient answers. We tried it and it came out that it is possible to build a management team and enhance co-operation with the help of horses!

I wouldn't like to unveil how it happened, but I recommend that all HR managers should try this training with their management, because it's not the mechanic training and experiences that they're used to. I can confess one thing though: it's the after effect that hides the secret."

Dynamic, varied programmes, concrete and exact evaluations

Rich in ideas, concrete, varied, well organised, the training had great content and we were looked after in a very careful way

Great atmosphere, efficient programmes, learning by playing

Good proportion of outdoor and indoor elements, efficient discussions that revealed the causes and effects

Punctuality, well planned and well structured, 'tailor-made' syllabus

"The coach led me but he absolutely adjusted to my individual needs and used the appropriate didactic tools like good examples, situational exercises etc. to make sure that we do work which helps to attain my goals. The individual training sessions needed a good deal of attention and sometimes a great deal of preparation. Beyond the simple technical methods lik communication, appearance, conflict management etc. I had the opportunity to analyse the traps of my personality, which was very instructive."
