The Western Challenge

The Western Challenge, developed by Frank Bennett, is a unique workshop that has utilized horses to change the lives and performance of hundreds of Fortune 500 company executives over the past 9 years. The Western Challenge is the premier interpersonal communication-training program in the nation today.  Our Equine Interaction Experience is unique in its ability to awaken the inner skills of highly effective communicators.

Learning to communicate silently with horses re-instills the primal feel for the other that all superior communicators possess in abundance. Replacing fear of the horse with understanding of his nature turns the human spirit outwards away from blinding self-absorption. Connecting body language with inner intentions builds natural communicators who, through their new congruent expression, inspire trust and leadership.

Symbolic for taking stock of the bigger picture … getting an aerial view … we can fly your team members by helicopter over the vast and wild country they will ride in the following days. This will demonstrate that pushing too hard and not reflecting on the best steps to take to save resources and prevent rework is only counter productive.

Snowmobiling in the Big Horns

As for snowmobiling, readers of SnowWest magazine ranked the Big Horns as the West’s Best: "If you're looking for scenery, solitude, and great snow, look no further than Wyoming's Big Horn mountain range. Although it's been one of the West's best secrets, the word is getting out. And more snowmobilers are finding a whole new world awaiting them."

From mid December to mid April there is plenty of white powder to play in. We offer over 500 miles of groomed trails and the best lodging to be found in the Big Horn Mountains: Snowshoe Lodge. The lodge is located in Snowshoe Pass on trails leading up into the Bighorn National Forest and Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. However we also program from other Lodges, depending on the comfort and pampering you desire.

Excursions

Exploring Yellowstone National Park

Have you tried Yellowstone in winter? Very pristine and guaranteed you see a lot more of the wildlife and much less people. One can visit Yellowstone National Park on one’s own; however, we recommend using a certified Yellowstone guide to optimize the experience.

Dinosaur Track Sites

The Red Gulch track site nearby to Shell, Wyoming, is one of the largest dinosaur track sites in North America. It contains literally thousands of rare Middle Jurassic age dinosaur tracks embedded in oolitic limestone. In fact, the Gypsum Spring Dinosaur Tracksite was first discovered in 1999 by Walter Parrs Jr, a New York City resident visiting The Hideout. These sites are among the world's most significant dinosaur track finds, according to the Director of the University of Wyoming Geological Museum. During the summer months, it is not unusual to see international scientists exploring and working on the many paleontological and geological sites for which Wyoming is world renowned. Our corporate guests with an interest in paleontology, archeology, or geology could tour some of the most interesting sites with local experts.
