Horses have survived for thousands of years by working together in their herd and communicating fluidly using non-verbal tools. They provide instant feedback to their human partners on the efficacy of their communication style and problem solving approach.

Taconic Hill Retreats offers horse-centered workshops designed to empower, build trust, improve communication, and explore mindfulness for both individual and corporate groups. Our workshops will help you to observe and work with horses to:

  • Identify your personal communication style and how you naturally lead and influence others

  • Explore how power is expressed in relationships and your individual reaction to both gaining and giving up power

  • Practice deep listening skills both in the direct relationship with the horse and with your team members

  • Work toward shared goals and create collective problem solving strategies while managing heightened emotions
