Take Heart Counseling & Equine Assisted Therapy
Give your team more than a break from the office—give them an experience that restores energy, strengthens connection, and supports real growth.
Equine-guided corporate retreats offer a refreshing way to step out of the daily grind and into a learning environment that feels grounding, engaging, and meaningful. Held in a peaceful ranch setting, these retreats invite your team to slow down, reconnect, and return to work feeling aligned and renewed, prepared to apply what they’ve learned in the workplace.
Working alongside horses creates powerful opportunities for insight and collaboration. Through interactive, experiential activities, teams practice communication, leadership, trust-building, and problem-solving in real time—making the learning both memorable and practical.
Every equine-guided corporate retreat is intentionally tailored to your organization’s unique needs.

No prior experience with horses is needed. All activities are inclusive, accessible, and grounded in emotional and psychological safety.
From the moment your team arrives, the retreat experience is designed to encourage presence, connection, and reflection.
A typical equine-guided retreat includes a blend of structured activities, group discussion, and time for rest and play. Activities take place on the ground—no riding involved—and are guided by experienced facilitators with the horses as partners in the learning process.
Your team can expect:
Hands-on, equine-guided learning activities
Guided reflection and meaningful group dialogue
A supportive, engaging, and inclusive environment
Time to relax, reset, and connect outdoors
A thoughtful pace that supports learning without overwhelm
Do participants need horse experience?

Are equine-guided retreats safe?
Yes. Physical and emotional safety are prioritized at all times. Activities are facilitated by trained professionals, and participation is always invitational.
What if someone is uncomfortable around horses?

Are retreats physically demanding?
Activities are low-impact and adaptable. Accessibility needs can be accommodated with advance planning.
