Morning Session
Animal Activities
Our morning session offers an opportunity for your team to rejuvenate and invigorate their minds through animal activities.
We will engage your team in a range of hands-on activities with our exceptional horses, which are designed to be both thrilling and mentally stimulating. This experience is unlike any other and promises to be a refreshing break from the norm.
We offer a range of thrilling activities that will allow your team to connect with our amazing horses.
From the Horse Meet & Greet to Horse Grooming, Mechanical Horse Riding, Obstacle Course Building, and Mindful Walk, our program has something for everyone.
Our expert trainers will guide your team every step of the way, ensuring they have a blast while learning all about these incredible animals.
Our approach to each activity is designed to help participants achieve a state of flow, where they become completely absorbed in the task at hand. This helps to disconnect thinking from a business-as-usual perspective, allowing your team to approach the afternoon's reflective workshop with a fresh head and a relaxed state of mind.

Afternoon Session
Reflective Workshop
During the afternoon, we adopt a different tone as we take the opportunity to reflect. After resetting our minds in the morning, we use this time to gain new perspectives and contemplate with a clear head.
We'll move to the conference room where our experienced facilitator will lead your team in a guided conversation.
We will invite the team to engage in a period of reflection, focusing on the challenges of the past few years, including the pandemic, social change, Brexit, and the rising cost of living.
During this time, we will encourage team members to consider what they have found challenging, what they are proud of, what they have achieved, and what they have learned.
By reflecting on these experiences, they will gain valuable insights into how they can enhance their wellbeing and performance moving forward.
​
Your team will leave feeling energized and committed to working together as a team, with a renewed sense of confidence, happiness in their roles, and readiness to move forward!
CATERING
We can provide food and drink for your day to suit a wide range of requirements. All of our food is prepared freshly on the day at a local delicatessen.
​
Allergy and dietary requirements can all be catered for.
