Here's some honesty... my baby is almost 8 months old and I havnt actually ridden a horse for over a year! It took hosting a retreat to get my butt back in the saddle and oh my did I miss it!
So tonight I took one of my lesson students out for a ride and it sure filled my happy.
So thankful for my mom to be just down the hill to look after the bubs when I need a hand.
So thank you again ladies, you gave me just as much as we gave you 💜

This past weekend we had our very first Let's Get Ranchy Retreat, and wow what an amazing weekend!
Such an amazing group of ladies, all working together helping each other out and very much embodied our vision of "like minded" individuals!
We seen so much improvement in every horse and every person, so many huge break throughs and light bulb moments!
Huge Thank You to the Double Knot Ranch crew for the perfect set up, cute decore, and wonderful food! Also, an extra thank you to the crew for taking care of our little man while we were instructing. It truly takes a village, and we are so blessed with everyone around us!

FAQ about Let's Get Ranchy Retreat

Q: What skill level is required for my horse and myself?
A: All skill levels welcome! As long as you can safely walk, trot, lope, whoa and turn, you and your horse are good to go!
Also we believe it's the perfect environment for green horses that need some exposure!

Q: What do you mean when you say Retreat?
A: Not only do you receive tonnes of instruction, we are providing meals as well! So all you need to do is take care of your horse, ride, and learn! You are also responsible for your own accommodations and we are asking that you stay on site because of the long but fulfilling day on Saturday!

Q: What should we expect from this Retreat?
A: A jam packed weekend of learning with a healthy dose of evening downtime! Like minded ladies to share the experience with! Good food and good people! Non judgmental environment perfect for learning! Instructors with many years of Horse and Cattle experience! And a "out of the arena" approach to cattle handling!

Q: Are there accommodations available for rent?
A: There is the potential for some primitive accommodations. A wall tent can be made available as well as a weekender style horse trailer. We are still in the building stages of our facilities with many more cool things to come in the future!
