"I recently attended Joan's equine assisted learning workshop with two business acquaintances- it was awesome! It was nice to have the opportunity to be out of the office for the day and try something new. Previous to this, I had no experience with horses but Joan and Paulajean gave me just enough guidance so that I could interact with the horse comfortably. Not only did I learn some things about my communication style, but I also learned a lot about my friends. I highly recommend equine assisted learning with First Step to a Great Life to all business teams!" -Becky S.
