Improve communication, collaboration, connection and creativity through mindful leadership training + team building activities with horses + archery.
Horses provide insights into our behaviors and relationships. By interacting with them, we uncover underlying beliefs and assumptions that influence our actions both at work and home. This reflection allows us to evaluate and adjust our behaviors for better outcomes. The experiential learning process with horses ensures these lessons are deeply ingrained, leading to lasting personal and professional growth.
We partner with horses, masters in communication who offer immediate, non-judgmental feedback. By reflecting our underlying beliefs and assumptions, horses help teams identify and address core issues. In a day of team building activities, we tackle the three biggest challenges that hold business teams back, fostering a more cohesive and effective unit.
Identify key moments of miscommunication and empower your team to communicate with clarity and precision. Our approach ensures your team learns effective communication strategies that enhance collaboration and reduce misunderstandings.
Help your team address personal assumptions and build trust through self-awareness. By understanding the stories team members tell themselves about each other, we foster a deeper understanding and stronger interpersonal connections.
Celebrate team strengths and recognize individual contributions to improve morale. This approach creates a cohesive, energized work environment, fostering a positive and productive culture where team members remain engaged.

EXCELLENT Based on 13 reviews Chassie Anders2025-07-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My team's time at Horse & Bow was truly the exact thing we needed to continue deepening our relationship with one another. Kristine's care and attention to detail made each one of us feel seen, heard, and cared for well. Of course the stars of the show were the horses. We worked with Panda in numerous exercises that truly helped reveal as well as strengthen our unique dynamic as a team. We were able to identify obstacles, get more familiar with our strengths, and work together to accomplish our tasks. It really was wonderful to get out of our typical routine in order to connect more authentically as a team. We will without a doubt come back! Thanks again Horse & Bow.

As soon as you walk on property you feel at peace with the openness of the country the smell of the animals and the sound of quietness. We came out to see Kristine for a team building time. I had no idea what to expect. The activities were fun and really revealed a lot about our group. I was politely surprised by our results. Being with the animals was my favorite. I loved simply observing the horses and I love how they can’t lie. I learned a lot. If you’re open to a different style of therapy and team building I would highly suggest going to see Kristine and the animals. Emily Yeager2025-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kristine is the most lovely host. My six and three year old had a wonderful time - a great way to spend the morning. They learned how to care for a horse and within minutes we're comfortable and having fun. They each got to ride the horse and grew in their own confidence around animals. It felt so different than any other experience we've had with animals in the past - Kristine made the entire experience welcoming and safe for us and the animals! Chris Wicklund2025-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 8 year old daughter recently had a lesson with Kristine and I would highly recommend her and the Horse & Bow. Kristine was a wonderful teacher and my daughter learned a lot and had a wonderful time. We live in Houston but will be back the next time we are in the area. Janki Depalma2024-11-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked in the corporate world for over 20 years and I have participated in "team building" at nearly every job I've been at. I normally dread this- as it's always something physical (ropes course) or cringey (karaoke). So naturally I had some trepidation regarding "team building" at a place that had horses. Bottom line- I HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone, especially if you are a group that has human beings. Despite pretending that we are all logical beings, people are much more complicated. The interaction with the horses isn't about riding them, but it's about learning to read their non-verbal communication skills. You are asked to pay attention, listen, and understand what they are telling you. And individually and as a team, you learn how to build trust through empathy and use that trust to get these animals to do what you want. Sound familiar? The same techniques of observation, understanding, and flexibility we used on these 1000lb beings are the same ones you need to use with your 150lb (plus or minus) teammates. I don't want to spoil anything, but this was a great program that helps you work together and doesn't favor strength, size, or experience! The location is gorgeous and the house is a nice spot to have a team meal- very close to Austin but it feels like you are in the country. The team at Horse + Bow are from the corporate world and they integrate their "prior life" knowledge with their passion for equines. You won't regret this. And I say this as someone who doesn't like physical things or anything "outdoorsy". Holistic Health Assessment2024-09-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kristine was able to accommodate my friend and I for a private 6 hour retreat. We were able to experience a 10/10 level of service with various horse activities, reflective journaling, interacting with the miniature donkeys, and archery. I cannot recommend a more relaxing and peaceful way to reconnect with nature. -Amanda Bishop Family2024-08-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding trainer and beautiful horses! My kids take lessons from Kristine and she is a gem. Knowledgable, gentle and caring. She creates a wonderful environment and she takes amazing care of her horses. I couldn't recommend her and her facility more! Gabrielle Fried2024-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In what feels like just a few short weeks, this class has taught my kids the fundamentals of horse care and kinship. Not only did they learn the basics of proper feeding, brushing and interaction, but they learned self-accountability and awareness while doing it. Your class has been an invaluable tool that has taught my children how to attune to the horses on an energetic level. My intentions for signing the kids up was to give them hands on experience with working with horses, and the class exceeded all expectations.
