What horses can teach us about ourselves and our relationships.

In this unique retreat experience, through mindful riding and groundwork with horses, you will have the space and guidance to reconnect with yourself in the nourishing environment of an authentic guest ranch. The magical energy of horses will give you the opportunity to heal, refresh, and reawaken your heart to the wonderment of life.

Why Horses

Horses have long been known for their energy and intuition. These beautiful creatures are becoming recognized for their ability to augment healing, health, leadership, and empowerment.

Horses offer an honest reflection to your whole being, including your subconscious. They provide authentic feedback of where you stand within yourself and in relationship to others. They can read if you are misaligned with your truth.  This allows the root cause of disconnection to shine through, allowing you to reconnect and heal.

What to Expect

You will be nourished physically and spiritually from the moment of your arrival to your departure.  Each day will include mindful movement, experiential exercises with horses, horseback riding, ranch life relaxation, delicious ranch cuisine, and more, all in delightful company.

This Experience is for you if…

• You have always sensed there’s something sacred about horses and you’re ready to learn from them.
• You crave a unique getaway to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life.
• You seek a fun and powerful way to emotionally heal and deepen your self-awareness.
• You desire the opportunity for personal growth through experiential learning in an authentic ranch environment.
• You want a soulful escape to connect you to what truly matters.

What Our Prior Guests Are Saying…

“The four days spent at the CM Ranch Mindful Equine Experience under the guidance of Jan Hoath was life changing, and set me on a new positive life trajectory. I’ve attended many mindfulness, meditation programs over the years but the combination of the location, horses, and the connection to both leaders and the other amazing women attending was such a powerful experience. It provided me the tools and desire to bring JOY back to my every day life.”
