What People Say

“This is what I was missing when I took riding lessons, the relationship! Truly a good experience!”

— 2022 Women’s Equine Interaction Group Session participant

Do you want to experience the magic that happens when the breath of a horse on your face that melts away every worry, fear, and concern away and replaces it with warmth, understanding, and presence? Have you dreamed of spending time with horses in quiet and solitude where you could take the time to learn more about horses and even yourself?

If you said yes and yes, this retreat was built for you in mind! And guess what?…

You’re invited!

Join me for an individual or group Equine Interaction Retreat in the Eastern Washington Cascades. Using best-practices in equine interactions, I help you build trust, connection, and congruence in our hearts and minds with the help of horses. Built upon on evidence-based practices and theory that promotes psychological wellness, you will find that these retreats offer exactly what you have been looking for in an equine wellness retreat.

Current offerings are nestled in the Cascade Mountains of Eastern Washington, and produced in partnership with like-minded entrepreneurs and property owners to give you a true Pacific Northwest experience and support the local economy.

Space is very limited, ensuring an intimate and boutique-style experience.

What are Equine Interactions?

Equine interactions encompass a range of activities and interventions involving horses for therapeutic, educational, or personal development purposes. Equine interaction activities are predominately unmounted (non-riding) and emphasize relationships, trust, and understanding while face-to-face with the horse from the ground. With the help of horses, I can help you to find calm, confidence, and authenticity in your everyday life.

Horses serve as powerful facilitators, offering natural bio-feedback around our behaviors and communication patterns allowing for enhanced self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, social competence, and general well-being.

Please note: All retreats and services are education-focused, and are not considered a therapy or professional mental health service. If you are experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis, or related concern, first know that you are not alone, and we ask that you please seek help by calling 988, or visiting https://www.nami.org/help for available resources near you.

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle, and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent, there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
