Corporate & Retreat Group Mustang Experience
An unforgettable private, experiential session for teams, boards, leadership groups, and offsite retreats at Arcadia Villa.
Build clarity. Strengthen communication. Deepen connection — all through guided interaction with rescued wild mustangs.
What This Is
A private 3 hour experiential learning session designed for corporate teams and leadership groups who want something meaningful, memorable, and grounded during their retreat at Arcadia Villa.
This work blends communication, presence, and leadership awareness — brought to life through real-time interaction with rescued wild mustangs. No riding, no horse experience needed.
We come directly to Arcadia Villa, or your group can meet us at our quiet 65-acre sanctuary in Florissant.
Sessions are held in an open outdoor area (weather permitting).
Who This Is For
Corporate teams on retreat or planning
Executive teams and leadership groups
Mastermind groups or entrepreneurial cohorts
Nonprofit leadership or boards
Strategic planning retreats
Department teams needing reset, clarity, or cohesion
Groups that want a meaningful shared experience beyond standard team-building
What You’ll Experience
Your session includes:
A short, engaging introduction to how horses read and respond to human communication
Grounded, guided exercises with rescued mustangs
Real-time feedback about presence, clarity, teamwork, and leadership
Insightful reflection and facilitated discussion
A blend of experiential learning, connection, and memorable moments
This is practical, embodied learning that teams can apply immediately.
Why it Works
Horses respond to intention, clarity, and leadership with remarkable accuracy.
Teams see instantly:
Where communication is aligned
Where roles or expectations are unclear
How individuals step into (or out of) leadership
How the group makes decisions under pressure
What shifts when the team becomes more cohesive and present
The result: Teams leave with clearer communication, stronger trust, and practical insights they can apply immediately.
