"I have known Britt for around 6 months now and let me just say there is no one like her! I met Britt the night before I left to go compete at Tamworth, she cooked us all a beautiful dinner so that we didn’t need to cook, as we were all so busy. She welcomed me into her house, with the happiest energy and a beautiful big smile. Since then Britt has never failed to give me the biggest warmest hugs every time I see her with the happiest smile on top. I put a lot of pressure on myself to ride to best abilities, and I was upset one time I came out of my round because everything that went wrong did go wrong. I was sitting on my horse upset and Britt approached me, she asked me what was wrong and we talked about it, she asked what I could next time to change my round to make it go a lot smoother (luckily it wasn’t my competitive round) and she told me to enter again and they wouldn’t mind… I ended up coming 4th in the class and from that day on Britt just changed my life.
Britt is a very unique rider, she has always been “horse before the sport”. I’ve never seen her ride her horses and say anything negative about her ride. Instead she finds ways she can fix whatever went wrong. She is probably the best person to ever look after horses, putting their needs first always. On top of this she manages so many businesses and still makes time to get up and go for a run and do breath work as well!
As a girl who wants to go so far in her riding I have found Britt to be the best role model not just for me but for Women and girls all over, aspiring horse riders, and those who want to better themselves in general. Because, Britt has showed me that life can easily be balanced between peacefulness and working hard. Britt is definitely who I want to be when I grow up and I actually couldn’t have asked for a better person to look up to. Watching her ride and have her as one of my closest friends, is one of my biggest privileges. Having you in my life as brought so many happy days to me."
"I had the opportunity to both reset and focus with Britt, at a Warrego Park Riding Retreat. Britt balances space and time out (in a gorgeous location), with dedicated practice.
Not only an incredibly skilled rider and with great horsemanship, Britt is a natural and kind teacher.
Over four, consecutive days I could apply what I'd learned. And, I was absolutely blown away by how much I learned! I had several absolute uh-hu moments! I got out my notebook, to write it all down. I will be back regularly and would recommend this Retreat 100%."
How do you know if Relaxation & Wellness Horse Riding Retreat is for you?
There are countless reasons a human being feels called to a retreat like this — sometimes it’s a quiet whisper, sometimes it’s a bold knowing, and sometimes it’s simply the desire for something more. Whether you’re seeking connection, growth, inspiration, or a fresh chapter, this retreat may be the moment that feels like yes… this is for me. Below are the many unique and heartfelt elements that make our retreats so special. Perhaps one will speak to you, or perhaps all of them will — either way, trust the feeling that brought you here.
Britt Furlanis, your facilitator, is a woman who lives on the edge of her potential every single day. As an aspiring Olympian, she is constantly refining her craft, exploring her limits, and seeking the next step that will bring her closer to her dreams. Being guided by someone with this level of dedication and self-awareness is a rare opportunity.
These retreats are a window into her world — her mindset, her training, her resilience, and her unwavering commitment to growth. Britt may not offer retreats forever, so this is a moment in time where you get to learn from her up close, absorbing the lessons that only someone walking the high-performance path can share.
If your heart beats a little faster at the sight, smell, or presence of horses, this retreat will feel like coming home. Warrego Park is a living, breathing ecosystem of equine energy, with more than 50 horses on the property at any given time. Their rhythms, personalities, and quiet wisdom create an atmosphere that is both grounding and deeply inspiring.
Spending time here means stepping into the flow of a real working horse property — feeding, observing, learning, and connecting in a way that feels authentic and alive. It’s a chance to be surrounded by the magic of horses from sunrise to sunset, letting their presence soften you, strengthen you, and remind you of what truly matters.
When you operate in high‑pressure environments, you know that clarity, regulation and presence are not optional — they’re strategic assets. This retreat gives you the space to step out of constant decision‑making mode and into a state where your nervous system can recalibrate. Through mindful riding and intentional practices, you reconnect with the steadiness that supports sharper thinking, better judgment and sustainable performance.
You understand that real leadership requires intentional recovery. This experience helps you reset without losing momentum — returning to your work with more focus, more capacity and a deeper sense of grounded authority. It’s a recalibration that strengthens both your wellbeing and your performance edge.
If you’re longing for a deeper, more intuitive connection with your horse, this retreat offers a fresh perspective that can shift everything. You’ll explore how horses think, feel, and interpret the world, giving you insight into their behaviour and the subtle ways they communicate.
This experience isn’t just about becoming a better rider — it’s about becoming a more attuned human. When you understand your horse on a deeper level, you naturally soften, grow, and evolve. The transformation you experience here will ripple into every interaction you have with your horse long after the retreat ends.
Coming back to riding can feel vulnerable, exciting, and a little daunting — which is why the environment you choose matters. Warrego Park is known for its warmth, encouragement, and genuinely good vibes. The people here care deeply about your experience and are passionate about helping you rediscover your confidence.
With capable coaches, friendly faces, and a culture of kindness, you’ll feel held and supported every step of the way. Whether you’re brushing off old skills or starting fresh, this is a place where you can relax, breathe, and enjoy the journey back into the saddle.
If you’re not fussed about high-end finishes and instead crave something real, earthy, and nourishing, you’ll feel completely at home here. The retreat is nestled in the bush, offering a peaceful, natural environment that invites you to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
Your country-style room and shared house create a sense of simplicity and comfort — a cocoon where you can unwind, journal, rest, and simply be. This is a retreat for those who want authenticity over extravagance, presence over polish, and nature over noise.
For riders ready to take their showjumping to the next level, this retreat offers a refreshing and transformative approach. Britt has a unique ability to read both horse and human, helping you unlock the mental and physical freedom needed to ride with clarity and effectiveness.
You’ll be encouraged to try new techniques, explore different ways of thinking, and step outside your comfort zone in a supportive environment. This is where breakthroughs happen — not through pressure, but through awareness, alignment, and a deeper connection with your horse.
When you’ve been running on empty for too long, it becomes harder to think clearly, feel present or access your full capacity. This retreat offers a circuit‑breaker — a chance to slow down, breathe again and reconnect with the parts of yourself that get lost when life becomes too fast or too demanding. Horses, nature and presence‑based practices help your system shift out of survival mode and back into balance.
You may be feeling depleted, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. This retreat gives you space to reset in a way that feels supportive and grounding. You leave with more clarity, more energy and a renewed sense of yourself — not because you pushed harder, but because you finally allowed your mind and body to exhale.
A riding lesson is a beautiful step to begin experiencing the peace, grounding, and emotional clarity that horses and nature offer. We’re passionate about helping every rider grow with confidence, clarity, and genuine enjoyment. Whether you’re stepping into the saddle for the very first time, refining your technique, or working toward higher‑level jumping goals, our lessons are designed to meet you exactly where you are. We create a supportive, encouraging environment where riders can progress at their own pace while developing a strong partnership with their horse.
Beginner Lessons
Our beginner lessons offer the ideal introduction to horse riding, providing a calm and confidence‑building space for new riders or those returning after time away. We start with the essentials - steering, stopping, balance, and body awareness - using a safe, enclosed environment to help you feel secure from the very first ride. As your skills grow, we gradually move into the arena to introduce trotting, cantering, and small introductory poles or jumps. With patient, reliable school horses and clear, supportive instruction, every lesson is designed to help you feel comfortable, capable, and excited about your progress.
Intermediate Lessons
Our intermediate lessons are tailored for riders ready to deepen their skills and develop more consistency in the saddle. Whether you’re working toward a more balanced canter, improving your position, or beginning to jump with accuracy and control, we shape each session around your individual goals. With access to a spacious arena and experienced coaching, you’ll refine your flatwork, build confidence over small combinations, and strengthen your communication with your horse. These lessons are all about helping you feel more connected, more capable, and more in tune with your riding.
Advanced Lessons
Our advanced lessons are designed for riders aiming to elevate their performance and develop the precision needed for higher‑level jumping. With a focus on technique, rhythm, adjustability, and course strategy, these sessions help you refine both your own skills and your horse’s way of going. Britt brings extensive experience jumping courses up to 1.30m and can confidently support riders progressing toward that level. Through personalised coaching and thoughtful training exercises, you’ll build the confidence and skill set required to tackle more technical lines, challenging combinations, and competitive goals.
