I am so excited to provide the opportunity for people to experience the transformative growth & change that is possible through connection with horses.
My newfound knowledge will not only add to our existing programs, but will allow me to offer workshops to groups, families or individuals!

The Lifeskills Sisterhood Retreat was all about the 'big' girls...young teens who proved that they are kind, strong, capable and beautiful! We had two nights and two days of horses, creek time, laughter, intro to yoga and meditation, crafts, movie night, campfire with S'mores, and most importantly, new friendships. An outstanding group of young women!
Our Story

We now offer a week filled with horses, leadership and confidence building exercises, crafts, cooking, nature exploration and farm-life experience! We top it off with a formal tea party and a lesson in manners and etiquette. Everything a cowgirl needs to know!
RANCH WRANGLERS
This week is all about the boys...learning about and riding horses, an introduction to roping, archery, backcountry survival skills, woodworking, hiking in the hills... and more. The boys will leave with increased confidence, new skills and an appreciation for nature and ranch life.
Sessions are limited to 8 boys so this session fills very quickly...
PEACEFUL WARRIOR RANCH RETREAT
This 3-night/4-day event, held each fall, began in 2016. Eight women veterans come to WOLF SPRINGS RANCH to enjoy horsemanship, crafts, home-cooked meals, traditional crafts, yoga, massage and friendship. The women all leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and with new life-long friends. This retreat is offered to any woman veteran at no cost - this is possible due to generous donations to the non-profit organization.
