SANTA ANA PUEBLO, N.M.
Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa, a luxury resort located on the Santa Ana Pueblo (near Albuquerque), shared information on its unique volunteer and teambuilding experiences. The resort is home to the Tamaya Horse Rehabilitation Program, a nonprofit organization that provides shelter, care and rehabilitation to neglected and abandoned horses in New Mexico. Through this program, groups can interact with the horses, take part in teambuilding and volunteer activities, or sponsor a horse on behalf of their company.
“The Tamaya Horse Rehabilitation Program offers a one-of-a-kind group experience,” said Herb Rackliff, general manager of Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa. “Not only can groups arrange fun and unique teambuilding experiences as part of the program, but they can give back to a great cause.”
Through the Tamaya Horse Rehabilitation Program, guests can go to the Stables at Tamaya to interact with the horses one-on-one. They can also work with the on-site wranglers to provide care for the animals such as feeding, grooming and cleaning stalls, as well as help to build stables and corrals for new horses in the program.
As many of the horses in the Tamaya Horse Rehabilitation Program become permanent residents at the Stables at Tamaya, guests can take teambuilding trail rides with horses that were previously part of the rehabilitation efforts. The horseback rides explore the rugged terrain (and beautiful scenery) of the Southwest.
Tamaya Horse Rehabilitation Program also offers sponsorship options. There are several donation levels, which allow the guests to adopt, name and support a horse. Groups that sponsor a horse will receive a sponsorship certificate and photo of the horse, as well as weekly video updates on the horse’s progress.
Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa also offers state-of-the art meeting facilities, with 29,000 square feet of indoor and 25,000 square feet of outdoor flexible meeting space. The property features several venues including the Tamaya Ballroom, a 12,000-square-foot space that can be partitioned into eight separate rooms.
