About this workshop
The programs can be tailored to group needs with a focus on building awareness of themselves and others, learning and understanding relationships, as well as identifying thoughts and feelings. The experience uses horses and cattle as the centre of a personalised journey promoting self-discovery, growth and relationships.

The key learning areas are:
- Awareness
