Ever wanted to be a cowgirl? Here's your chance.
You don't need a horse, a pair of fancy boots, or the slightest clue what you're doing. Cowgirl Camp is coming to Southern Oregon in 2027.
Cowgirl Camp
You don't need to have grown up around horses to appreciate the cowgirl way of life, and there's a lot more to it than riding. It's learning to be brave without being reckless, tough without being hard, and patient enough to listen before you act. It's honesty, respect and a little grit, and knowing when to be firm and when to be gentle.
Cowgirl Camp is one day with a small group of about six grown women. We'll start on the ground with handling, grooming and groundwork, and if the day and the horses are up for it, you'll get your first ride. You'll learn real horsemanship, get your hands dirty and probably go home tired in the good way. You don't need any horse experience to come.
- What to wear
- Long pants and boots or closed-toe shoes with a heel. Helmets are provided.
- Where and when
- Southern Oregon, in 2027. Dates aren't set yet.
From me
I've had horses my whole life and I'm still learning. I taught therapeutic riding for about six years, and right now it's Dixie, Kelly and Summer at home. I want Cowgirl Camp to be the kind of day I'd want to show up for: small, hands-on, honest and a lot of fun.
Equine-Assisted Learning
Not here to ride? Good. This one happens on the ground.
Equine-Assisted Learning is ground-based work with horses for individuals and teams. It's about communication, confidence, self-awareness and leadership, which are hard to see clearly while you're in the middle of them. Horses respond to what your body is actually doing, not what you're telling yourself you're doing. The horse isn't diagnosing anybody. It's just responding, and that gives us something real to talk about and connect back to how you lead and communicate at work and at home.
It's not riding lessons and it's not therapy. Come on your own or bring your team. Equine-Assisted Learning is in development for 2027.
