The Inn of The Five Graces,, a celebrated Relais & Châteaux property in the heart of Santa Fe, announces its newest signature guest offering: The EQUUS Experience®, a new horse-assisted initiative featuring programs from two hours to multi-day retreats and workshops for individuals, couples, and families. The latest offering is designed as an immersive, horse-guided journey into presence, trust, and authentic connection with oneself and others.
Far from a traditional horseback ride, The EQUUS Experience® invites guests into a serene arena with a small, intuitive herd. Under the guidance of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified facilitators, participants explore what horses, masters of reading human energy, can teach about communication, connection, and self-agency. Set against Santa Fe’s cinematic desert backdrop, the program offers a unique blend of personal growth, cultural education, leadership development, workshop and nature immersion.
During The EQUUS Experience®, guests may:
- Engage with horses that reflect who they truly are, model and teach ways to live and thrive.
- Learn practical tools for communication, leadership, and creating a life of meaning and purpose.
- Experience the calming, grounding effects of silent, mindful interaction with the herd.
- Gain insights that enhance relationships, professional effectiveness, and personal well-being.
Each session is uniquely tailored to the guest’s desired outcomes, and shaped by the horses’ intuitive responses in the moment. Offerings range from two-hour introductions to immersive, multi-day retreats, making it accessible to both curious first-timers and those seeking deeper transformation.
“This is a profoundly different kind of luxury experience,” said Kevin Geanides, Managing Director at The Inn of the Five Graces. “It’s about creating space for authentic connection, with oneself, with nature, and with these extraordinary animals, in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.”
The EQUUS Experience® reflects a growing travel trend toward immersive, meaningful experiences that nurture both mind and spirit, a natural complement to The Inn of the Five Graces’ array of offerings grounded in the authenticity and the natural beauty of the Southwest.
