“Everyone, your task is to get your team and the horse across the river. There are piranhas as well, good luck!” That was all the instruction we were given concerning our task. Our team consisted of 24 people and the horse. We had all signed up for ethics training at an equine therapy facility to meet our Continued Education requirements for the year. We had never met one another until this day. A mixture of personalities were in the group, some leaders, some followers, some go-getters, and some just going with the flow.
