What Color is Your Horse Really™?
BY DAVALEE

All life is about relationships. Work
relationships, social relationships, and personal relationships
all have a profound impact on our lives.
Are there ways to better understand the motivations of
ourselves and those around us to improve our relationships? Yes,
there are, and the Color Tool™ is
a great tool to use for improving relationships. The Color Tool
is a system of recognizing motivations and personality types of
individuals. It works equally well with people and horses.
The Color Tool is broken into four parts, and every person and
horse falls into one or more of the following personality types:
Sorrel, Roan,
Gray, or Palomino.
(Remember we’re talking about the color of a horse’s personality;
the horse’s “inside” color, not the color you see when you look at
the horse.)
Each color has its own set of strengths and limitations, which
can be applied to every person and every horse. As we work in our
strengths and on our limitations, our personal growth gives us the
ability to grow in our relationships.
Learning and using the Color Tool will help you learn the
motivations of others, and you and your relationships will grow
stronger, be more resilient and give you more fulfillment.
I encourage each of you to learn and apply the Color Tool. MM
Training and Consulting will use the Color Tool this year in
many different applications, through presentations,
demonstrations and clinics. We would love to help you integrate
the Color Tool in your personal, professional and horse
relationships. Please contact either Marcia or me if you are
interested in hosting or attending a presentation. You can also
learn more about the Color Tool by attending any of our
clinics. |

These are the power wielders. Power, the ability to
move from point A to point B and get things done, is what
motivates and drives sorrel people. They bring great gifts of
vision and leadership and are generally responsible, decisive,
proactive and assertive. Their symbol is the lightning bolt.
Sorrel horses are strong-willed, determined, and brave. They need
strong boundaries. |
These are the do-gooders. Intimacy, connecting,
creating quality relationships and having purpose are what
motivate and drive roan people. They bring great gifts of quality
and service and are generally loyal, sincere and thoughtful. Their
symbol is inter-connecting circles, representing connection. Roan
horses are sensitive, needy and fearful. They need to have a
strong connection. |
These are the peacekeepers. Peace is what motivates
and drives gray people. They bring great gifts of clarity and
tolerance and are generally kind, adaptable, good-listeners. They
are represented by the peace symbol. Gray horses are laid-back,
easy-going, and lazy; they want to avoid conflict. They need
strong leadership for motivation. |
These are the fun lovers! Fun, or the joy of doing
something just for the sake of doing it, is what motivates and
drives palomino people. They bring great gifts of enthusiasm and
optimism and are generally charismatic, spontaneous, and sociable.
Their symbol is the smiley face, the symbol of optimism and good
cheer. Palomino horses enjoy play, have a short attention span and
need variety. They need focused leadership with plenty of
playtime. |
