A WAY…Horses are sentient creatures. This means that their way of interacting with their environment is primarily through their senses. They feel things about us that we don’t even know we’re putting out there. Let’s think of them as living and breathing emotional barometers of sorts. Have you ever said something that you didn’t mean or acted in such a way that was opposite to how you really felt? You can’t do this with horses. Horses know better and can help us identify thoughts and behaviors that aren’t working for us, so we can start looking for what does. Unconventional? Maybe! But utilizing horses in therapy has proven to be very effective! You are not required to ride a horse. Absolutely no riding experience is necessary. If you choose to ride, you will do so in a supportive, caring and safe environment.A TIME...Our retreats are 4 days and three nights long starting on Wednesdays and ending on Saturdays. Your stay includes 3 nights lodging, delicious and healthful meals, snack and beverage service plus wine with dinner, all horse activities, massages, yoga class, and nutritional advice. Check our website or call for available dates. You owe it to yourself and the ones who love you, to take some “you-time” once in a while.A PLACE…StoneCreek Ranch is nestled amid the rolling hills, open meadows, and tree-topped ridges of the Ozarks – just south a ways from the town of Mountain Home, Arkansas.
