Lets Get Ranchy Retreat #1
June 19, 20, 21 2026
Horsemanship with Obstacles

This first retreat of 2026 is for everyone! From green horses & green riders to your everyday horse that you want to gain more confidence and connection with to a competition horse that needs a change of pace!
This retreat can be done in hand, under saddle, or both!
Your horse encounters many Obstacles everyday, things like a hose across the alley, a pitchfork hanging on the wall, a wheelbarrow parked in a dark corner, or a tree fallen down in their pen... a shift in your perspective can help you see things from your horses point of view.
We have found that working with horses through, over, and around our man made obstacles in a controlled environment has so many benefits!

Want to build confidence, connection, and communication with your horse? Then this is the retreat for you!

The benefits of joining us at our Retreats vs a Clinic:
● Full days of instruction!
● More one on one time!
● A private & quiet environment with no distractions thats great for learning!
● Staying on location allows an immersion into the whole experience!
● 2 Instructors with different perspectives and ways of explaining the same thing to better help you understand!
● AND We feed you 3 meals a day!
