Fairly early in our work with Equine Assisted Learning, we discovered the

close correlation between business relationships and the roles of horse, driver,

harness, and carriage. While being involved in the sport of carriage driving,

we became aware that many aspects of corporate structures, management

dynamics as well as personal and team relationships parallel aspects

of carriage driving. For example, the roles of a horse and driver can be

comparable to the roles appearing in professional work settings, i.e. workforce

and leadership. Likewise, the functions of harness and carriage parts can be

compared to various functions of people and teams in business models.

Analyzing the characteristics and inter-relatedness of the horse, driver,

harness, and carriage can yield profound insights into the nature

of professional relationships and the impact on business success.

In this manual, we will show characteristics of harness and carriage parts.

We will then demonstrate how to draw on some of the parallels between each

specific harness and carriage component and the working parts of a business.

Through working with the horse and carriage, clients can become more aware

of how they will have a greater chance for success when communication is

clear, staff are well-trained, and equipment is in good working order.
