Join us for Week 2, Monday of the Beyond the Saddle: Holistic Clicker Training Program at Starr Horse Retreats.
We began the morning with a grounding exercise in the grass to center our breath and energy before entering the pasture for a gentle Free Liberty Meditation with the herd.
The day unfolded into a beautiful milestone: I mounted three-year-old Valentine and completed the Around-the-World exercise for the very first time. Participants joined in with their own horse partners, and one remarkable guest—who has undergone a double hip replacement—was able to complete the Around-the-World on our wise horse Legend.
This practice celebrates trust, balance, and partnership, showing how horses of every age and humans of every life stage can meet in harmony.
✨ Our next program is scheduled for October 17th through October 20th, 2025. You can reserve your spot and purchase your ticket here: https://www.starrhorseretreats.com/horse-healing-retreats
