For Women Warriors
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Though our Cowboy Up! program is for both men & women we offer a little something extra
for our Women Warriors:
Our Women Veteran Retreats are specifically designed just for you!
We offer these day retreats several times a year weather permitting.
Stay tuned for our next retreat!
Our past retreats were made possible by Wells Fargo Bank and Century Bank
Join us for an experience of self-discovery through the way of the horse.
Activities are unmounted, safe, engaging and require no previous horse experience.
Ground activities provide better opportunities for growth and learning as the participants have greater freedom to be themselves. The purpose is to center on the healing process rather than trying to get participants to complete certain goals with the horse.
Here is what working with our horses can help with:
Learn to be present and in the moment
Build confidence
Develop boundaries
Move beyond fear
Learn to trust
Improve communication
Increase energy and vitality
Expand awareness
Read what some of our veterans had to say about the benefits they received by participating in our last retreat:
"...bringing me back to a place of peace. I enjoyed everything"
"It was very beneficial in relieving stress."
"...learning more about myself and getting rid of my fear of horses. I was able to relax and lead the horses around the arena...it was cool! This was on of the most enjoyable days I've had in a long time."
"...felt grounded, safe being with other women and women veterans..."
"...working on relaxing with horses, meeting other vets, women. Make it two days!!"
"meeting others who have had similar experiences and being able to express to Jack (horse) what I have trouble expressing to people."
"...time to be..."
"...communication with these awesome animals again."
"...remembering how to relax, controlling my emotions, it's a great program to work on dealing with and working through emotional issues/problems."
"...accepting being around new people."
