Starr Horse Retreats and Arenas
Minden, Nevada
Starr Horse Retreats and Arenas (SHRA) is a venue for healing retreats, training, and equine-assisted education using positive reinforcement (R+) ridership techniques. We work with horses advocating for their needs and care, and we work with humans through the horses. We understand that healing humanity heals the earth.
Our 30-acre equestrian facility is located in Minden, Nevada. We have four arenas, a 10-stall horse barn, a workshop room, a bunkhouse for client interaction, three guest houses, a Gathering Grounds with a sweat lodge, tipi, immersion tub, fire pit, and 30 acres of pasture with multiple obstacle courses and moguls for walking and riding.
Our unique equine healing modalities illustrate parallel issues of trust, forgiveness, and threshold limits. Through exercises, we explore emotional intelligence skills for mindful decision-making and past grief healing. Some of our unique modalities include sound healing, guided meditations, ecstatic dancing with horses, barnyard yoga, animal Reiki and massage, sweat lodge, flower bath, and positive reinforcement ridership workshops and clinics.
We invite participants to explore the possibilities with us as we tap into the innate healing abilities of the horses and honor them as shamans in their role of awakening our consciousness.
