The “Simple Agenda, Agenda”
We’ll spend the mornings in Equus sessions where you’ll have opportunities to be coached on anything you want--work, family, career, relationships. Then we’ll break for a tasty and nutritious lunch back at the Lodge.
After lunch, we’ll have activities for two days of your stay. For the last two days, your afternoons will be free to enjoy your complimentary massage, fish, hike, ride, or just enjoy some quiet time.
Evenings we’ll gather around the fire pit. We’ll chat and share stories. We'll keep it easy so you can maximize and integrate your experience and your time.
And as always, we’ll laugh and connect and make big plans.
NOTE: No horse experience is required for this retreat.
Equus coaching is conducted on the ground with client safety as a priority. No riding experience? The Blacktail Ranch can accommodate all levels of riders for their trail rides, from first timers to seasoned riders.
A note about the schedules: We make our daily plans based on weather primarily and secondarily, on the desires of the group.
