Some of the best memories are made in the saddle! 🐴💚

One of my favourite parts of hosting our retreats is the incredible people who come together. The friendships, laughter, encouragement, and memories are what make these weekends so special!

As we look forward to another season in 2027, I'd love to hear from those who've joined us before!

❤️ What's one of your favourite retreat memories?

Here's to more adventures, friendships, and unforgettable weekends ahead!

LET'S GET RANCHY — LEVEL 2 IS COMING!

We've got a little update to our 2027 retreat schedule!

We're excited to announce that our September 10–12, 2027 retreat will officially be our LEVEL 2 CATTLE HANDLING RETREAT!

This one's for those of you who've already joined us for an introductory cattle handling clinic or retreat and are ready to take things a little further!

We'll be building on what you've already learned, spending more time working cattle, and taking your skills, confidence, and partnership with your horse to the next level.

We're excited to offer something new for our returning riders while continuing to welcome new faces to our introductory retreats throughout the summer!

LET'S GET RANCHY IN 2027!

We're already looking ahead to another summer of horses, cattle, good company, and making memories at Double Knot Ranch!

We're excited to share our tentative 2027 retreat dates!

We've got FOUR cattle handling weekends planned, including the return of our introductory retreats AND something new for those who've been ranchy with us before… a Level 2 retreat!

And you might notice something a little different on the calendar… 👀

A THEMED RETREAT!

We're keeping the details of that one under wraps for now, but trust us, it's going to be an adventure!

Whether you've joined us before or have been thinking about coming out for the first time, we'd love to have you spend a weekend with us.

📍 Hosted by Rafter Diamond Equine at Double Knot Ranch.

📅 All dates are tentative and subject to change. More information and registration details will be announced later!

💚 It's the Little Things That Matter.

Sometimes it's the buttons on Grandpa's favourite shirt, the pockets on Dad's old work shirt, or the faded fabric that's been worn and loved for years.

Those little details are part of what makes a piece of clothing so special. ❤️

When I create a Loves & Hugs keepsake pillow, I do my best to preserve those original details wherever possible.

Because it's not about making an old shirt look brand new.

It's about keeping the memories and character that made it special in the first place. 🤍

We just wrapped up another incredible Let's Get Ranchy Retreat Horsemanship with Cattle Handling with the best group of ladies!

Words cannot express how grateful we are for everyone this year joining us at our home and giving us the opportunity to share a bit of knowledge with you!

Thank you Double Knot Ranch for being the best venue, catering, and handling all the things behind the scenes while we get to ride around all day and especially for wrangling our boy Everett during the day!
Truly blessed to have the family we have and the life we get to live!

Cheers to an amazing 2026 season, and here's to more in 2027!!!
