Hudson Valley HorsePlay is a team of 9. 

There are 8 horses, and Cori Nichols, founder and facilitator.

Collectively, HorsePlay offers their unique experiential team-building and leadership trainings in the Hudson Valley of New York Sate. 

What?

Participants are tasked to build a collaborative, working relationship with one or more horses - which, naturally, will have its own personality, mood, and "maybe some stuff".  

How?

By creating safety, building trust, reading body language, communicating non-verbally, establishing boundaries, and employing a host of other soft skills needed “for the job”, the pairs will be tasked with a or goal to accomplish together.

Nichols guides individuals, teams, and leaders through these processes. This is emotional intelligence in - action!

Then What?

Skills exercised with the horses are taken back to the workplace, the boardroom, the C suite and beyond. . .  think colleagues, clients, prospects, new hires, patients, stakeholders et al.

Why Horses?

Horses are powerful teachers. They're so finely attuned to the environment that they can pick up on even the most subtle of cues. Further, their feedback is always immediate, always honest, and free of judgement. Horses tell it like it is, and its helpful to listen!

Why Cori?

Ms Nichols speaks with humor and enthusiasm - posing questions for personal discovery and the development of strengths. 

She brings her 40+ years of experience in the field.
