This video is a quiet thank-you to the extraordinary volunteers who help hold the heart of Starr Horse Retreats. Each of them began as a student in our four-week Holistic Clicker Training Program and chose to return in service to the horses, the land, and the healing that unfolds here. Through Angie’s work with the herd using positive reinforcement, you can feel the calm partnership and trust that grows when humans and horses meet in kindness.
A rare opening has now emerged for our next immersive program, April 12 – May 8, 2026. If your heart feels called to step into a circle of learning, connection, and transformation with horses as teachers, you can explore the invitation here:
At Starr Horse Retreats, holistic clicker training blends science-based positive reinforcement, intuitive communication, and deeply restorative time in nature. Participants live on the land, learn humane training practices, and experience the quiet wisdom of the herd in a supportive sanctuary environment near Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Whether you are seeking a new relationship with horses, a meaningful volunteer path, or personal renewal through equine-assisted healing, this work opens a doorway into partnership, presence, and trust.
Thank you to every graduate who has returned in service. Your devotion creates the living field that makes this sanctuary possible.
