Four nights. Horses. Good food. Belly laughs. And a group of incredible horsewomen.✨️
There is something really special about stepping away from the rush of everyday life and spending a few days completely immersed in horses alongside like minded women.

Wild Hearts was created to be that kind of space.

A place where horsewomen can slow down, learn, share stories, support one another, and spend meaningful time with their horses.

Over the last 5 years we have come to call Red Lodge Guest Ranch our home away from home. It’s a scenic, peaceful, “step back in time” kind of place where you can truly unplug, settle in, and enjoy the experience.

Over the course of the retreat there are quiet moments with horses, meaningful conversations, and new friendships forming… along with plenty of belly laughs around the table after a full day with horses.

There’s a peaceful rhythm to it, but also a light, playful energy. In many ways it feels a little like summer camp for grown women who love horses and want to reconnect with that sense of fun and joy.

Throughout the retreat we explore horsemanship and liberty work, hands on skills, bodywork with your horse, and rider movement and balance.

There are also special experiences woven throughout the week, including private photography sessions, beautiful trail rides, and a few fun evening surprises along the way.

What makes Wild Hearts such a special experience:

• Four facilitators bringing different knowledge and perspectives
• A stunning ranch setting surrounded by nature
• Fully catered, delicious home cooked meals three times a day
• Cozy cabins to stay in
• No dishes, no cooking! Just show up, ride, learn, relax, and enjoy the experience

Arrival will be the afternoon of July 1st, with departure on July 5th.

If you’ve been quietly wondering whether Wild Hearts might be for you, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat and answer any questions.

We currently have three spots remaining for this year’s Wild Hearts gathering.

Once those spots are filled, we’ll have our group for this year’s second gathering.

If you feel the pull to join us, send me a message and I’ll happily share the details. I would love to welcome a few more women into this year’s Wild Hearts: A Horsewomen's Gathering experience.

Never underestimate the power of a mounting block with a friend.
Aren’t mounting block conversations simply the best?

Wild Hearts is full of moments like this.
Quiet conversations.
Shared understanding.
Support without judgement.

It’s not just about horses, it’s about the women beside you, sharing the laughs, the questions, and the moments in between.

Summer can’t come fast enough after seeing this.
We’ve got a few Wild Hearts July spots left if it’s been on your heart.

The warm weather has me reminiscing to last summer's Wild Hearts A Horsewoman's Gathering , and I can't wait for this years already!!!

Come join us, we have a couple spots still available in July!!! Donna of Many Pawz just might serenade you

As you can see, we have too much fun

This photo says everything I love about Wild Hearts.💞

A group of incredible horsewomen who showed up fully, with heart, grit, laughter, and that spark that seems to wake up the moment we gather.
Authentically themselves, just as they are. ✨

They were getting their photo sessions done… cheering each other on, fixing hats, brushing off dust, sharing stories, and laughing in that way that makes your whole body soften.
Nothing fancy. Nothing forced.
Just real women, real moments, and real connection.

This is the part you can’t explain to someone...
you can only feel it when you’re here. The breath you didn’t know you were holding. The camaraderie. The sense of “Oh… these are my people.”

Like someone once said, ‘When women support each other, incredible things happen.’
These women showed up with a little wild, a lot of heart…and when I say a little wild, I’m joking, some of them are delightfully feral. 😂

If you’ve been thinking about joining us this summer…
our July 1–5 gathering still has a few spaces open.

There’s a place for you here if you feel the pull…
and if your heart’s been whispering “maybe I need this,”
that’s your sign to come ride with us.

✨️Step out of the busyness of everyday life and step into five days of softness, sisterhood, and genuine connection.
Real belly laughs with kindred horsewomen. Breathe under the open skies of Red Lodge Guest Ranch. Feel that little twinkle return, the one horses seem to bring back without even trying.

Five unforgettable days of horsemanship, liberty, trail riding, rider body awareness, horse bodywork, and deep connection.
All woven together with reflection, community, and that unmistakable Wild Hearts magic that keeps women coming back year after year.

It’s like a summer camp for grown women… but with horses, heart, and a whole lot of joy. 💛

This is a safe, welcoming learning space for all women, no matter your experience level or discipline. You and your horse will be met with kindness, support, and zero judgment.

Our August 2026 Gathering sold out so quickly that we opened this second July date (July 1st to 5th), and it’s already half full. Your enthusiasm for this space continues to fill our hearts in ways we can’t even explain. ✨

Enjoy fully catered meals (no dishes!), a cozy cabin to unwind in, and a pen ready for your horse. Everything is taken care of so you can simply arrive, breathe, and be present with your horse and this community.🌲

Same magic. Same energy. One more opportunity to be part of something unforgettable.💫

If July is calling your name, message me to join before this one trots off too. I would love to share this experience with you.

We remain forever noble, endlessly grateful, and completely at your service… even if it means balancing a few hats along the way.. 🤣

Because at Wild Hearts we truly do wear many hats: horsewomen, teachers, students, friends, leaders, and dreamers, each one adding a little more heart and a lot more laughter to the journey. 💛

Here’s our very own Kirstin, Commander of Chaos, Mischief, and Mayhem, being officially knighted by one of our amazing Wild Hearts horsewomen.
She’s a top-notch wrangler who keeps it all running smoothly, sprinkles magic wherever she goes, and somehow manages to wear more hats than anyone we know. ✨

No fun was had at all. 😉
Just another day of Wild Hearts magic, served with laughter and love. 🌿💛

We’re so grateful for the incredible support and excitement surrounding our second Wild Hearts Gathering.
The July dates are already half full, and our hearts are overflowing. 💫
If this has been on your mind, we’d love to have you join us. 🌸

Rooted in Connection, Fueled by Laughter.

🌿✨ Wild Hearts August 2026 — Officially Sold Out ✨🌿

My heart is overflowing tonight. Wild Hearts August 19th - 23rd, 2026 at Red Lodge Guest Ranch is officially sold out, and I’m just so grateful.

To every woman who said yes, thank you! You’re the reason this gathering has become such a special place for laughter, courage, grace, and the kind of horsemanship that truly feeds the soul.

I’m so excited for what’s ahead and the incredible group coming together.

For those who missed a space, there’s a waitlist available, and perhaps a second date on the horizon if the stars align ✨

Thank you, truly, for keeping the heart of this dream alive.

August 19–23, 2026 at the beautiful Red Lodge Guest Ranch in Bowden, Alberta.

Leave behind the busyness of everyday life, laugh with fellow horsewomen, and rediscover that twinkle in your eye with the help of horses, open skies, and a few belly laughs along the way.

🐴 Saddle up for five unforgettable days of learning, connection, and community alongside your favourite horse and a group of incredible women.

🌟 What’s Included

☀️ Five Days of Learning & Laughter with Five Amazing Facilitators in small, supportive group sessions designed to help you grow in feel, confidence, and connection both in and out of the saddle.

✨ Your Facilitators

Lindsey Fraser – Two Hearts One Beat Horsemanship
Lindsey’s sessions blend grounded horsemanship with the subtle art of feel.
In the mornings you’ll dive into Liberty and Connection, learning how to communicate with your horse through intention, energy, and body language. In the afternoons you’ll take that same softness into your Horsemanship under Saddle or In-Hand work, focusing on clarity, timing, and trust.
It’s about building a partnership that feels good for both hearts involved.

Dale Layton – Layton Photography
Dale captures more than just images; she captures connection.
In her morning sessions you’ll explore the art of presence, learning how to simply be with your horse in a way that photographs beautifully and authentically.
Her afternoon trail rides wind through the scenic hills and forest paths of Red Lodge Guest Ranch, a perfect chance to relax, laugh, soak in nature.

Jennifer Ann Maciej – Amethyst Equine Connections Inc.
Jennifer brings her strong equitation skills and deep understanding of body awareness to every session.
Her morning work focuses on helping riders find balance, alignment, and ease in the saddle, exploring how subtle changes in posture and intention can create big shifts in how your horse moves and feels.
In the afternoons Jennifer shifts focus to Chakra Balancing and Tuning Forks, unique hands-on sessions for horses and riders that encourage release, relaxation, and emotional harmony.

Janet Stephen- Masterson Method Practitioner and Instructor
Janet’s gentle, informed approach teaches you how to “listen with your hands.”
Through the Masterson Method®, she’ll guide you in noticing subtle responses that show where your horse holds tension and how to help them let it go.
These hands-on sessions bring immediate, visible changes in relaxation, movement, and trust. It’s bodywork as communication, a way to deepen your awareness of what your horse is truly feeling.

Kirstin Knoppers – Commander of Chaos, Mayhem & Mischief
Kirstin wears many hats (and wears them well). She’s your go-to for anything you need, whether it’s an extra hand, a quick laugh, or a bit of wrangling magic. Savvy on the trail and skilled in horsemanship, she keeps the fun flowing and the chaos beautifully in check. She’s a strong heartbeat behind the laughter, the one quietly keeping everything and everyone moving in the right direction.✨️
