FAQ. What to expect from the retreat?

How would I improve my management decisions?

Enhancing your sensitivity to non-verbal cues and fostering decisive action while using heuristics to make balanced decisions quickly in real time, our equine-assisted activities refine your judgement, leading to sharper, more informed decision-making.

How would I build trust and productivity in my team?

Interacting with horses teaches you the fundamentals of mutual respect and communication which are essential tools for nurturing trust and boosting productivity within your team.

How would I be able to resolve conflicts?

Horses react honestly and instinctively to human emotions, offering you a unique perspective on empathy and clarity—key elements in effectively identifying and resolving conflicts before resentment sets in which can lead to stress and burn-out.

How would I genuinely build diversity and inclusion in my team?

Learn from the herd dynamics of horses, which rely on diverse roles for harmony. This natural model provides valuable insights into fostering an inclusive environment where every team member thrives.

How would I make ethical business decisions?

By aligning your actions with your core values just as with horses, our retreat emphasises integrity and authenticity, guiding you towards elevated and robust decision-making in business.

Does interaction with horses have any scientific evidence and proof of help?

The engagement with horses has demonstrated numerous advantages across various settings. Horses maintain a consistent Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and their emotionally attuned and present interactions contribute to reducing stress, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms while boosting self-esteem and social skills. In our educational programs, horses play a vital role in fostering responsibility, teamwork, and leadership.
