Ride and Rejuvenate Retreat
April 3 - 6, 2023, Parkfield, California
Explore your passions, learn new riding skills, and work cattle in the beautiful hills of central California. You'll have adventures in and out of the arena with Sandy Collier and Barbra Schulte during this Ride and Rejuvenate Retreat.
Bring your own horse or lease a V6 Ranch Horse!
Enjoy gathering and working cattle (at your own pace; no previous experience required!)
Take gorgeous guided trail rides in the hills of the historic V6 Ranch, some of the most beautiful country in all of California.
Savor four days and three nights, riding and making new and cherished friends.
Who is this retreat for?
This is an all-women's retreat for horse lovers. You may bring your own or ride a V6 ranch horse.
We welcome all levels of riders, including those who are comfortable riding and being around horses - through seasoned competitors in any discipline.
While we'll teach riding and cattle skills, this is not an intensive horsemanship clinic. It's learning mixed in with lots of fun!
What to expect?
This multidimensional retreat offers time to ride, learn new skills, work cattle, eat fabulous home-cooked food, enjoy relaxing time around the fire with incredible women, and rejuvenate.
You can bring your horse or lease a V6 Ranch horse for the retreat.
