When The Team Has Quietly Stopped Being One
Your team isn’t broken.
It’s disconnected.
The disconnection isn’t a verdict.
It’s a signal you’ve already noticed.
This is a different way to answer it.
A full day in the Tuscan hills for a team that has lost its trust and its communication, alongside horses that ask for nothing but honesty. No riding, no role-play, no pointing fingers. Just a safe, guided reset where a team can see its real dynamics and find its way back to each other. This is the Horse Power Team™.
You have tried the offsites. You have tried the workshops. This is different: a day that lets the team see its real dynamics and rebuild trust, without anyone being blamed.
The truth about why the offsites and workshops didn’t stick.
You have run the away-days. You have brought in the facilitators, the frameworks, the icebreakers. Sometimes the mood lifts for a week, and then the old patterns quietly return.
What if the problem isn’t more talking?
What if the team could simply see how it really works together, in real time, without slides or blame, until trust and communication start to come back on their own.
That is what this day is for.

A way of working together you’ll feel again in the room.
A shared reference that stays with the team long after the day ends.
Horse Power Team™ is not something you explain in a slide.
It is something the team lives, together.
And long after the day ends,
its lessons keep showing up at work.
Horse Power Team™ is a shared day of ground work alongside horses in a quiet Tuscan setting, guided by experienced facilitators.
What makes it work for a struggling team is its honesty.
The horse is an honest mirror. It responds to how the team really communicates, who leads, who withdraws, where trust is missing, and it does so without judgement and without blaming anyone. The dynamics simply become visible, safely.
It suits any team, at any stage. No horse experience is required, and there is no riding. Everyone takes part on the ground, exactly as they are, and that is enough.
There are no expectations, no scoring, and no pressure. That is what makes it a safe reset, even when communication has broken down and trust has worn thin.
It does not impose a fix, it gives the team space to reconnect.

Trust that had quietly eroded.
Communication beyond job titles.
A shared reset the whole team can build on.
What Your Team Experiences
It meets the team exactly where it is: for some it breaks a silence that had settled in. For others it dissolves the walls between functions. For many it is simply a day of real presence and honest communication, side by side, away from the desks and the deadlines.
There is nothing to prove and nobody to blame.
Only space. Only honesty. Only the team, together.
This is what makes it both safe and effective:
a day that meets the team where it is, and stays with it long after everyone is back at work.
When The Team Doesn’t Quite Click Anymore
Some days solve a single problem.
Others give a team trust, communication and a fresh start.
Horse Power Team™ meets the team where it is, without forcing anything.
Horse Power Team™ is designed for the moments when a team needs honesty and reconnection more than another workshop, and choosing to try is already a step back toward each other.
When the team has gone silent
Meetings are polite and short, cameras stay off, and nobody says what they really think. The work still gets done, but the energy and the ideas have quietly drained away.
Request a quote →When silos have hardened
People protect their own patch, information stops flowing, and small tensions have set into fixed camps. Everyone is working hard, just not with each other.
Request a quote →When trust broke after a hard period
A restructure, a departure, months of remote distance, or one difficult conflict has left a mark. People are careful with each other now, and the old ease has not come back on its own.
Request a quote →“For over twenty years, I have watched horses help people set down the weight they carry. Not through words. Not through advice. Through presence. Through mirror. Through permission to be seen.”
“With a team, the horse shows the real dynamics without blaming anyone. It reveals how a group truly communicates, and in that honesty, trust has room to come back. If you are here for your team, trust that instinct. Something in you already knows it matters.”

Equestrian Centre in Tuscany
Alterreno
Nestled in the Tuscan hills near Peccioli (Pisa), Alterreno is the only equestrian centre in Italy approved by the British Horse Society. For over twenty years, it has been a place where horses and people grow side by side through trust, awareness and presence.
Founded by Angelika Schneider, Alterreno is internationally recognised for its ethical approach to horsemanship and human development.
Where Horse Power Team™ Is Born
The Approach
Horse Power Team™ was born at Alterreno from observing how horses respond to human presence when there is nothing to perform and nothing to prove. These encounters are not about riding, but about connection, within a team and between its people.
Within a safe and guided setting, horses reflect what is real, allowing clarity to emerge naturally. There are no expected outcomes and no pressure to change.
This is why it reaches teams that workshops cannot: it adapts to your group and meets it exactly where it is.

Limited availability

F.A.Q.: Everything you may want to know
No. There is no acting, no trust-fall, and nobody is put on the spot. The horses simply respond to what is real, so the day feels honest rather than staged. Even sceptical teams tend to relax quickly once they see it is not a performance.
There is no riding at all. Everything happens on the ground, and it is gentle and accessible. No horse experience is needed from anyone, and people take part at a level that is comfortable for them.
The day works for groups from 4 to 20 people. For larger departments we can discuss splitting into sessions. Tell us your numbers in the quote request and we will shape it accordingly.
The €180 assessment is a short, private call before the day. It helps us understand what the team is going through so we can tailor the experience to your specific situation rather than run something generic.
The price is €1.980 per day, which is €1.800 per day plus the €180 assessment, with VAT included. You receive a proper company invoice. We will confirm the details in the tailored proposal.
Yes. Sessions are run in both English and Italian, so mixed and international teams are entirely at home. Just let us know your team’s preference.
We keep corporate days deliberately limited, so a little lead time helps. Once you request a quote we will share current availability and hold a date that works for you.
That is completely normal, and it is welcome. There is nothing to believe in advance. The horses do the convincing, and the people who arrive most doubtful are often the ones who take the most away.

Prefer to talk it through first? Book a call and we’ll help you decide.
Still have a question? Write to us, we’ll help you decide.
After the experience
The day is complete in itself, and it also travels well. We close with a debrief so the team leaves with language and habits it can use straight away. Some teams return later for a follow-up, others simply carry the day with them. Both are equally right. What changes between people is yours to keep.
One day could change how your team works together.
You don’t have to have the perfect fix. You just have to be willing to try something different.
