Designed for Corporate Teams
Equine Alliance brings something rare to the Sunshine Coast: team building that doesn't just entertain—it works. Each program is grounded in a method known to increase awareness, trust and accountability in professional settings. Through hands-on exercises with horses (no riding required), team members learn how their actions affect others—and how to adjust when it matters most.
The sessions are carefully facilitated, with expert guidance linking every activity to practical workplace skills. You’ll see breakthroughs in how people lead, negotiate, resolve conflict and collaborate under pressure. Horses act as honest mirrors, revealing group dynamics that might be missed in a boardroom.
What sets Equine Alliance apart is their sensitivity to each team’s needs. The programs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s a small leadership team or a full staff cohort, sessions are adapted for relevance, comfort and impact.
Expect laughter, challenge and growth—all in a peaceful Palmwoods setting that encourages teams to reconnect with themselves and each other.
Frequently Asks Questions
What’s the difference between this and other corporate team building?
Most corporate team building leans on competition—games, contests or high-pressure activities. This approach flips the script. It’s not about winning, it’s about connection. Participants must lead, follow and problem-solve with the help of a horse, which demands authentic engagement, not performance. The experience leads to deeper trust and better real-world outcomes.
Can introverts benefit from equine-assisted team building?
Absolutely. These workshops are ideal for quieter team members because they don’t rely on speaking up in front of groups. Instead, the focus is on presence, intention and body language. Horses respond to authenticity, not volume. Introverts often shine in this environment, showing leadership in ways they never could in a traditional format.
What should we wear or bring?
Sessions vary depending on the team size and your organisation’s goals, but most workshops run between two to four hours. Multi-day options are available for deeper development. All sessions include a briefing, hands-on activities with horses, reflection time and opportunities to apply learning to the workplace.
What makes equine-assisted counselling different from traditional counselling?
Comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes are essential. Expect to be outdoors and moving around, though activities are low-impact. Sunscreen, water and weather-appropriate gear (hat or jacket) are recommended. All activities are on the ground—no horse riding—so it’s accessible even for those with no horse experience.
