Unwind and experience true Texas country living at the Cowboy Campout, a “barn” and breakfast north of Houston near historic Montgomery, Texas. Hike and bike in the nearby Sam Houston National Forest, fish, horseback ride, or just relax in the beautiful country setting. Weekend packages include meals, accommodations in the converted cowboy-chic barn, run of the ranch, riding, and basic horsemanship training; for an added fee, massages, wine tastings, and personal riding instruction can be arranged.
For a truly memorable event, consider one of Don Hutson’s experiential Cowboy Solution leadership seminars that use horses to help humans build critical communication and management skills. Horses are the perfect tool for leadership and team building, explains the former educator and businessman, because they are ever-present evaluators of your actions. “Horses live in the here and now. They’re constantly looking for their place in the herd for survival—‘What’s going to save me right now?’—so they’re always evaluating, and we have to find a way to build their trust,” he says.
Hutson’s action-oriented half- and full-day seminars give participants an opportunity to do just that: build a relationship with their equine partner and then use that new partnership to achieve goals. Corporate and educational groups are welcome.
