TEAM BUILDING —TRANSFORMED
Hands-on, high-touch workshops that reconnect people, purpose, and performance!
THE TEAM BUILDING EXPERIENCE
THAT BRINGS REAL RESULTS AND CHANGE - AND A LOT OF FUN!
This isn’t just another team day out.
Sure, paintball and escape rooms are fun—but they don’t translate into better meetings, clearer communication, or stronger collaboration back at work.
Our experiential workshops are different. They’re designed to create real change in how your team communicates, collaborates, and leads—through experiences that are not only engaging but directly tied to workplace outcomes.
Teams aren’t just groups of people working together—they’re made up of unique individuals with different ways of thinking, communicating, and responding to challenges. When these differences aren’t understood, frustration builds, communication breaks down, and engagement drops. But when teams learn to truly understand each other, everything shifts. Trust strengthens. Collaboration becomes effortless. Productivity soars.
Our workshops immerse teams in real-time learning with horses, revealing blind spots, strengthening leadership, and aligning behaviours for lasting impact—not just theory.
Strong teams don’t happen by chance. They’re built with intention.
Connected Teams Demonstrate—
21% increase in profitability over their less-connected counter parts;
41% less absenteeism,
59% less employee turnover;
66% increase in employee wellness;

“A team is not a group of
people who work together.
A team is a group of people
that trust each other.”
- Simon Sinek

WHY HORSES BELONG IN YOUR NEXT TEAM EXPERIENCE!
Our equine sessions are designed to uncover blind spots in team dynamics and leadership behaviour. Horses are incredibly attuned feedback mechanisms—natural amplifiers of the energy, intent, and communication within a group.
Your team won’t just talk about challenges—they’ll feel them, navigate them, and need to respond in real time. Working with horses on the ground (no riding involved), team members must partner with these sensitive, responsive animals to complete tasks, overcome obstacles, and adapt in the moment.
Many of the hidden dynamics—power plays, disengagement, unclear communication, reactive behaviour—surface quickly. And in order to move forward, your team must shift their approach, rethink their communication, and work together with clarity and intent.
Because if they don’t? The horse simply won’t follow.
We offer a proven experiential learning process, trusted globally and backed by research —
with clear objectives and outcomes that stick.
This team building experience isn’t about surface-level activities. It’s for decision makers, leaders and trainers who want to give their team a memorable, hands-on experience that translates directly into workplace performance and collaboration
—not just tick a ‘team-building’ box.
If you’re serious about transforming communication, strengthening leadership, improving trust, and deepening relationships, this workshop will give your team the fun and experience away from the office like all enjoyable team building experiences - PLUS reaches objectives with the practical, hands-on activities that builds behavioural awareness, adaptability, and teamwork through deeper understanding.
WHAT YOUR TEAM WILL WALK AWAY WITH!

Stronger communication and trust – Learn how different behavioural styles impact interactions and how to adapt for better team dynamics.
Hands-on teamwork skills – Experience real-time collaboration with horses, highlighting trust, clarity, adaptability and leadership in action — well beyond theory.

WHAT IS OUR POINT OF DIFFERENCE?
— OUR THREE POWERFUL & VALUE-FILLED SESSIONS!
Expect more than just a team build—expect a shift in how you see yourself, your team, and how you lead.
Horses! Two Equine-Led Activities!
Our two horse-led activities are hands-on, objective-driven experiences designed to shift behaviour and build capability in real time.
Activity 1: Strengthening Working Relationships & Communication—
Teams partner with horses to navigate tasks that require trust, clarity, and connection. This activity surfaces the quality of working relationships and reveals how well teams communicate under pressure.
Activity 2: Adaptable Leadership & Plan Development—
This session challenges individuals and teams to lead through uncertainty. Participants must think strategically, adapt their plans, and practise responsive leadership—all while working alongside a horse that gives instant, honest feedback.
The Meaning Maker™ Masterclass!
"It’s not what happens—it’s what you make it mean."
A breakthrough session that transforms how your people think, feel, and lead.As part of your workshop experience, we’ve integrated a powerful and thought-provoking masterclass called The Meaning Maker™—a high-impact session designed to reshape the way your people communicate, handle conflict, and navigates pressure.
This 20-minute masterclass tackles one of the biggest contributors to workplace dysfunction: misunderstanding. Whether it’s friction in communication, misaligned expectations, or poor collaboration, most challenges in teams trace back to one simple truth:
Our version of reality isn’t ‘truth’—it’s shaped by the lens we’re looking through.
Team Behavioural Profiling
Our statistically validated behavioural profiling activity flows on seamlessly from the masterclass.
This session helps your team uncover the why behind the how—why people communicate the way they do, respond to pressure differently, and sometimes clash despite shared goals. By bringing behavioural patterns to the surface, we create a common language that builds understanding, improves collaboration, and reduces frustration.
But we don’t stop at insight—we take it into practice.Through an immersive, hands-on activity (no role play involved!), your team members will experience what it’s like to flex and adapt their communication style in real time. It’s powerful, energising, and immediately applicable back in the workplace.
It’s a fun and eye-opening experience that supports stronger relationships, clearer communication, and more effective leadership—because when people understand themselves and each other better, they work better together.
Would You Love For Your Team To Experience This Amazing Day?
Our workshops are designed for teams of up to 8 participants to ensure a focused, high-impact experience. For larger teams or specific challenges, tailored options are available—just chat with us to explore the best fit.
Through ground-based activities with horses (no riding), your team members will receive honest, immediate feedback on how they show up—individually and collectively as a group of people working together. Horses naturally respond to energy, intention, attitude, thoughts, feelings and behaviour, revealing blind spots in leadership, communication, and trust dynamics that may be holding your team back.
Your team will explore horse culture—rooted in trust, safety, and cooperation—and discover how these same instinctive principles can be applied to strengthen human teams, improve relationships, and create a more connected way of working together.
The real-time feedback from the horses challenges participants to align their actions, energy, and communication—resulting in stronger self-awareness, behavioural adaptability, and better relationships at work.
