We are excited to partner with Sport  Horse Therapuetic Equine Massage in Colorado to provide a unique vacation retreat and learning opportunity at our ranch this fall. Our guests will learn skills to take their relationship with their horses to the next level.

This clinic is the first of two clinics this organization offers on this topic. Their instructors will teach you to recognize and treat soreness related behaviors through the study of therapuetic equine massage, saddle fit, hoof care, and nutrition. This will be a week long vacation retreat for you and your horse. You are welcome to participate using our horses if you are not able to bring a horse. We will be dividing our time between classroom education, hands on application and practice, and opportunities for riding and working with our cattle on our scenic working cattle ranch.

Cost will be between $1300-$1600 for the week depending on which lodging option you choose and how many people are in your group. 

This includes:

• 6 nights lodging either in one of our cozy cabins or electric and water hookups for your horse trailer

• all meals and snacks for the week

 
• 24+ hours of classroom education and hands on application with Sport Horse Massage instructors
 

• Sport Horse handbook
 

•"Horse Anatomy: A Coloring Atlas" by Robert A. Krainer and Thomas O. McCracken

•"Horse Sense" by Rowan Emrys: A Practical & Natural Horse Management Handbook

•Practitioner certificates for those who demonstrate mastery of the material

Class size limited to 8-10 students depending on size of each group.

For students wishing to further their knowledge in this area, the advanced 3 day clinic is being held at the Chadron, NE fairgrounds September 24th through the 26th. Registration for the advanced clinic can be done directly with Sport  Horse Therapuetic Equine Massage  The fairgrounds are approximately a 45 minute drive from our ranch.
