Before Your Best People Burn Out
A wellbeing day they’ll actually feel.
Not another fruit basket.
Most wellbeing perks never reach people.
Horses meet them exactly where they are.
This is the version they’ll remember.
A full day in the Tuscan hills where your team slows down, breathes, and reconnects, guided by horses on the ground, no riding, no role-play. Horses respond only to what is real, so people can drop the performance, let the tension go, and simply be present. Then we help your team carry that calm back to work. This is Horse Power Team™.
You have tried the wellbeing webinar, the meditation app, the pizza Friday. This is different: a full day that genuinely reaches your people, lets them slow down and breathe, and gives them a calm they can carry back to work before anyone burns out.
The truth about most wellbeing initiatives.
A webinar, an app subscription, a fruit basket in the kitchen, and by the following week nobody feels any different. They were designed to look like care, not to actually reach the people who are quietly running on empty.
What if wellbeing actually landed?
A horse doesn’t respond to job titles, brave faces, or the right words. It responds only to what is real, so people can finally stop performing, let the tension go, and be met exactly as they are, tired and human.
That is what this day is for.

A calm they’ll point back to at work.
A reset that stays with them long after the day ends.
Horse Power Team™ is not something you present.
It is something your team feels, together.
And long after the day ends,
its steadiness stays in how you work.
Horse Power Team™ is a guided day of ground work with horses in a quiet Tuscan setting, led by experienced facilitators.
What makes it restorative for a team is its honesty.
It asks your people to slow down, breathe and stay present with a horse that reflects exactly how they are, no titles, no scripts, no need to keep up appearances. The tension simply eases, and people reconnect with themselves and each other.
It suits any team, at any stage, from a group coming off a hard sprint to people quietly close to burnout. No horse experience is required. Everyone arrives exactly as they are, tired and human, 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 restorative: the horses meet your people where they are, and we help them slow down, together.
It does not lecture your team, it gives them a genuine reset they feel in their body, and something calm to carry back.
Request a quote →What This Day Gives Your Team
Rest that actually restores.
Reconnection you can feel, not just schedule.
A calm your team carries back to work.
What Your Team Experiences
It meets your team exactly where it is: for some it is the first proper exhale after months of pressure. For others it is genuine reconnection with people they had stopped really seeing. For many it becomes a shared moment of calm, a day everyone was present for, that they can return to when the pace picks up again.
There is nothing to perform and nothing to win.
Only presence, slowing down, and a real reset.
This is what makes it both safe and restorative:
a day that meets your team where it is, and stays with it long after the day ends.
When Your Team Is Giving Everything, and Running Low
Some days deliver a webinar.
This one gives your people a real chance to slow down and breathe.
Horse Power Team™ meets your team where it is, without forcing anything.
Horse Power Team™ is designed for the moments when a team needs real rest more than another perk, and choosing to care for your people before they burn out is already a step forward.
A team running on empty
The work still gets done, but the energy behind it is thinning. People are quieter, shorter, more tired than they let on. Before that turns into burnout and people leaving, give them a real day to slow down, breathe, and come back to themselves.
Request a quote →After an intense period or crunch
A launch, a busy season, a stretch that asked everything of everyone. People pushed through and haven’t really landed yet. A guided day of presence lets the team decompress together, so the pressure doesn’t quietly carry into the next quarter.
Request a quote →Wellbeing that isn’t a box-tick
You want to support your people properly, not with a fruit basket or a webinar nobody remembers. You want a day that reaches them, that they actually feel, and that signals your care is real.
Request a quote →“For over twenty years, I have watched horses help people put down what they carry. Not through words. Not through advice. Through presence. Through mirror. Through a calm a tired team cannot fake its way past.”
“A team can’t perform for a horse. It reflects exactly how present you are, how much you are carrying, and whether you have let yourself rest. If you are here, considering this for your people, 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 teams that workshops cannot: it adapts to your group and meets it exactly where it is.

Limited availability

Once the month’s dates are taken, no more are added. If this is right for your team, requesting a quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

F.A.Q.: Everything you may want to know
Horse Power Team™ works well for groups from 4 to 20. The day is designed around your numbers and how your team is doing, so tell us the size of your group when you request a quote and we will shape it accordingly.
We use both covered areas and open spaces, and we adapt the day to the conditions. Only extreme weather requires rescheduling, and we agree that with you in advance.
There is no riding at all. Everything happens on the ground, on foot, at a calm and gentle pace. It is not a fitness challenge, it is about slowing down, presence and reconnection, so no equestrian experience is needed.
No. Nobody is put on the spot and no one is made to perform. The day meets each person where they are, gently, and even the most sceptical usually find it calming rather than confronting. There is nothing to get right.
Before the day we hold a short assessment call, included in the €180 assessment fee, to understand your team, how much pressure they have been under and what you want the day to give them. 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 teams are entirely at home here.
We keep corporate availability intentionally limited, so earlier is better, especially for specific dates. Request a quote and we will confirm what is currently open.
Yes. Some teams return once or twice a year to give their people a regular reset. If you would like to make it a recurring wellbeing day, tell us when you request a quote and we will plan it with you.
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 calm and simple ways to protect its energy, not just a good memory. Some teams return later for another day, others simply carry the reset into how they work. Both are equally right. What settles between your people is yours to keep.
One honest day could help your team breathe again.
You don’t need the perfect brief. You just have to be willing to give your people a real chance to slow down before they burn out.
