For Teams That Live Under Quota
A horse doesn’t buy the pitch.
Your clients don’t either.
Most sales offsites perform.
Horses can’t be closed by it.
This is the honest version.
A full day in the Tuscan hills where your sales team works with horses on the ground, no riding, no role-play. Selling is presence and trust, not a script, and a horse reads congruence the way a prospect does. So how your reps show up under pressure, and whether they truly pull together, shows up as it really is. Then we turn what surfaces into a shared reference your team takes back to the pipeline. This is Horse Power Team™.
You have tried the SKO ballroom, the incentive trip, the sales training. This is different: a day that shows your reps how they actually show up under pressure, honestly, and gives you a shared reference you can return to when the quarter gets real.
The truth about most sales incentives.
The kickoff energy, the pep talk, the spiff, the leaderboard reset. It lifts the room for a week, and by the next forecast nothing has really changed. It was designed to fire people up, not to reveal how your team actually sells together.
What if the exercise couldn’t be gamed?
A horse doesn’t respond to titles, quota, confidence, or the right words. It responds only to what is real, so the way your reps actually operate under pressure, good and difficult, comes to the surface where you can work with it.
That is what this day is for.

A shared reference you’ll point back to on the next call.
A day that returns to mind long after the kickoff ends.
Horse Power Team™ is not something you pitch.
It is something your team lives, together.
And long after the day ends,
its lessons stay in how you sell.
Horse Power Team™ is a guided day of ground work with horses in a quiet Tuscan setting, led by experienced facilitators.
What makes it work for a sales team is its honesty.
It asks your reps to coordinate, read the room and stay present with a horse that reflects exactly what they do, no titles, no scripts, no quota to hide behind. The way they really sell together simply appears, and the team can see it clearly.
It suits any sales team, at any stage, from new hires finding their feet to a senior team under real quota pressure. No horse experience is required. Everyone arrives exactly as they are, and that is the point.
There is no “right” outcome and no one is put on the spot. That is what makes it safe and useful: the horses reveal what is real, and we help your team make sense of it, together.
It does not lecture your reps, it shows them how they operate under pressure, and gives them something to build on.

Authentic presence you can’t fake in a room.
Trust within a competitive team, felt not claimed.
A shared reference you’ll carry back to the pipeline.
What Your Sales Team Experiences
It meets your team exactly where it is: for some it breaks the quiet rivalry the leaderboard had hardened between reps. For others it surfaces how people really lead a conversation, and hold their nerve, under pressure. For many it becomes a shared language, a moment everyone was in the room for, that they can point back to on the next call.
There is nothing to perform and no deal to win.
Only how your reps really operate, made visible, and worked with.
This is what makes it both safe and useful:
a day that meets your team where it is, and stays with it long after the kickoff ends.
When Your Reps Compete, But Don’t Pull Together
Some days deliver a sales training.
This one gives your reps an honest mirror of how they operate under pressure.
Horse Power Team™ meets your team where it is, without forcing anything.
Horse Power Team™ is designed for the moments when a sales team needs real insight more than another kickoff speech, and choosing to look honestly at how you sell together is already a step forward.
A sales kickoff with substance
You want more than a hotel ballroom, a number on a slide, and a motivational speaker everyone forgets by lunch. You want your reps to see how they actually show up under pressure, and to leave the SKO with something they can name and use on their next call.
Request a quote →A team competing instead of collaborating
The leaderboard drives everyone, and quietly it drives them apart. Reps guard accounts, hoard tactics, and score points off each other. You need the competitive energy pointed at the market, not inward, and you need the trust that lets a strong team pull together.
Request a quote →New reps who need to belong fast
New hires, a merged sales org, a fresh pod ramping into a hard quarter. Everyone is polite and no one quite knows how the others sell. A shared, level experience builds a common language faster than any onboarding deck.
Request a quote →“For over twenty years, I have watched horses show people the truth about how they connect. Not through words. Not through advice. Through presence. Through mirror. Through honesty a team cannot argue with.”
“A team can’t perform for a horse. It reflects exactly how your reps show up, whether they trust each other, and how they hold up under pressure. If you are here, considering this for your sales team, trust that instinct. I look forward to meeting you in the arena.”

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, trust and communication between 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 perform.
This is why Horse Power Team™ reaches sales teams that trainings cannot: it adapts to your group and meets it exactly where it is.

F.A.Q.: Everything you may want to know
Horse Power Team™ works well for sales teams from 4 to 20. The day is designed around your numbers and your goals, so tell us the size of your team when you request a quote and we will shape it accordingly.
No. It is not a fitness challenge and it is not a contest with a winner. Everything happens on the ground, on foot, at a calm pace, and the point is presence, trust and how your reps operate together, not who scores highest.
There is no riding at all. Everything happens on foot, with your feet on the ground. It is about communication, trust and presence under pressure, so no equestrian experience is needed.
Before the day we hold a short assessment call, included in the €180 assessment fee, to understand your sales team, your quarter and what you want to achieve. This is what lets us tailor the day rather than run a generic format.
The price is €1.980 per day, with VAT and the assessment included. We invoice your company directly and provide everything your finance team needs.
Both. Facilitation is available in English and Italian, so mixed or international sales teams are entirely at home here.
We keep corporate availability intentionally limited, so earlier is better, especially if you are tying the day to a specific kickoff date. Request a quote and we will confirm what is currently open.
Yes. Many teams build the day into an SKO or a quarterly offsite as the moment that makes the rest land. It is a full day, because the depth of what surfaces, and the debrief that makes it useful, need the time.
Ready when you are? Request a quote, or write to us and we’ll help you decide.
After the day
The debrief closes the loop, so your team leaves with a shared reference and practical takeaways, not just a good kickoff memory. Some teams return later for another day, others simply carry what surfaced into how they sell. Both are equally right. What changes between your reps is yours to keep.
One honest day could change how your sales team pulls together.
You don’t need the perfect brief. You just have to be willing to see how your reps really operate under pressure.
