Wide Open Experiences presents
A transformative 3-night retreat in Montagu where horses mirror your truth, padel ignites your energy, and you finally give yourself permission to take up space.
This retreat is for you if...
What if three days in the mountains could change how you see yourself? Not through lectures or self-help books, but through the honest reflection of a horse, the joy of learning something new, and the company of women who understand exactly where you are.
The Experience
The Soul of the Retreat
Daily sessions with Tamsin and the horses
Horses are masters of reading energy. They don't judge, they don't pretend, and they don't lie. In these intimate daily sessions, you'll stand in the presence of a horse and discover what it mirrors back to you.
You might find emotions rising that surprise you. You might discover strength you didn't know you had. The horse holds a grounding, safe space where you can explore parts of yourself you've been too busy to notice. Each session is guided by what the group needs on the day, making every experience deeply personal.
The Energy
Three coached sessions daily
Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, and there's a reason: it's wildly fun, incredibly social, and far easier to pick up than tennis. Whether you've played racquet sports before or have never picked one up, these sessions are designed for absolute beginners.
With three 40-minute sessions spread across the day, you'll build skill and confidence at a comfortable pace. But really, it's about laughing, moving your body, and sharing something new with your fellow retreat guests. By day three, you'll wonder why you didn't start sooner.
Your Home for Three Nights
4-Star Luxury on the Keisie River
Nestled along the river with mountain views in every direction, In Abundance is a boutique 4-star guest house that feels like arriving at a friend's beautifully kept home. Barefoot luxury, warm hospitality, and the kind of quiet that lets you actually hear yourself think.
Spend your free time poolside, wandering the indigenous garden, or sipping something from the honesty bar as the sun sets behind the Langeberg mountains. Choose between a shared or private room to suit your preference.

Montagu's best restaurants, galleries, and shops are steps from the front door.
Your Guide
With over 20 years of experience working alongside horses, Tamsin's journey began as a trainer before evolving into her true calling: facilitating equine-guided experiences that help people see themselves clearly for the first time.
She speaks the language of horses fluently. She reads their body language, understands what they're reflecting back about you, and translates it in a way that lands with clarity and compassion. Under her guidance, you'll feel safe enough to explore, honest enough to feel, and supported enough to grow.
Wide Open Experiences is her vision: creating spaces where women can step away from the noise, reconnect with themselves, and discover what becomes possible when they stop holding back.
The Setting
Tucked into the Langeberg mountains along Route 62, Montagu is one of the Western Cape's best-kept secrets. A village of Victorian architecture, vineyards, hot springs, and a pace of life that invites you to slow down and pay attention.
Just two hours from Cape Town, it feels like another world entirely. Between sessions, explore local restaurants, art galleries, farm stalls, and hiking trails. The town itself becomes part of the experience.
Investment
One simple price. No hidden extras. Just an experience designed to move you.
