This Ladies Ranch Academy Retreat is formatted for education and rejuvenation.
We will eat meals around the fire, enjoy time in the saddle working cattle or doing obstacles, and take some time to swim in the pool. Saturday is Rodeo night and your registration includes a ticket!
Please note: depending on crowd size and experience, we will split into two groups during certain riding portions.
As always, it is free to bring a camper/trailer and run a generator. You're also welcome to bring a tent, as there is a bathhouse available to overnight guests during this event. It is also free to bring portable panels to set up for your ponies! Otherwise, limited overnight accommodations are available for horses and humans--please select that during registration.
