2024 Equine Experiences

Discover the power of experiential learning — with horses. In partnership with The Equus Effect (TEE), we are offering immersive equine experiences designed to help participants build self-awareness, manage emotions, and develop healthier relationships.

FINESSE VS. FORCE | RESPONSE VS. REACTION | CAPACITY VS. CONTROL

Horses are naturally sensitive to human emotions and intentions, making them incredible partners in this journey. Using ground-based horsemanship skills, we guide you through a hands-on experience to develop non-verbal communication skills, emotional agility, and tools to stay grounded in high-stress situations.
