About

A meaningful give-back team-building challenge where teams kick into action with cleverly designed flat-pack rocking horse kits, created exclusively for Catalyst Global. As the countdown begins, participants quickly coordinate, assemble, and piece together a variety of pop-out components under time pressure. Once their 3D horses match the blueprint, they’re ready to race.

With the arena set and lanes in place, the energy shifts to the betting phase. Teams go head-to-head in a series of fast-paced, high-energy races. In each round, new jockeys take their positions, teams update odds, and adjust strategies in real time. While speed and control in the saddle matter, it’s smart tactical betting that often makes the difference to the final outcome. Each race delivers excitement, tension, and plenty of laughter, as teams cheer on their horses from the sidelines. Win or lose, participants remain fully engaged throughout and quickly develop a strong connection to their creations.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Horses for Causes reinforces the importance of clear instruction, interpretation, and precise execution under pressure. Teams must balance speed and accuracy—working too quickly risks errors, while moving too slowly allows competitors to gain an advantage. Ultimately, the betting component introduces strategic decision-making, encouraging participants to interpret odds, assess risk, and collaborate to maximise team results.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OUTCOMES

The experience concludes with a meaningful finale as each handcrafted rocking horse is auctioned to the highest bidder. This creates a fun and engaging way to raise funds for a chosen charity, adding genuine social impact to the activity.
