Catholic Horsemanship Experience

Sunday through Saturday October 13-19

Call 406-465-5534 for Availability and Booking

Come and celebrate our being Catholic as we explore a deeper relation with Jesus.  Make new friends.  Learn more about horses, riding, and yourself.

 The vision for this week is to combine being in the Montana mountains riding and learning more about horses with being open about our Catholicism and learning, experiencing, and sharing this part of our lives also.   Horses can teach us about ourselves, listening, and being open to what God is saying.

 This is a full week experience.  The week starts Sunday morning with Mass at the Cathedral of St. Helena in Helena, MT at 9 am.  We will pick you up at your hotels to take you to Mass and then drive you to the ranch.  You will get a tour and get settled in your rooms before lunch.   After lunch, we will all get acquainted and then be matched with a horse.  The afternoon will be spent with the horses using the Ground Games of Parelli Natural Horsemanship to get to know your horse and the language we use with the horses.  Before dinner there will be a discussion and prayer.

 The schedule for the balance of the week will be similar each day.  The day will begin at 7 am with morning prayer and the rosary.  There will be a theme for the day presented.  Breakfast is about 8.  Right after breakfast we will catch and saddle the horses.  You are welcome to help with this if you want.  There will be a morning ride or lessons.  Lunch will be about 12:30.  There will be an afternoon ride or other options.  Two days there is an option of a full day ride with a lunch for those with riding ability and physical condition for the advanced ride.  Each day there will be an activity with the horses that helps you learn more about yourself, relationship, and spirituality.  There will be quiet reflection time.

There will be singing by the fire Friday evening.  Saturday we will provide transfers to Helena  to match your flights.
