A weekend to fine tune your horse skills, learn a new skill or ride for the first time. If you have a love for horses and want a casual yet refreshing weekend join us in learning how God  wants you to flourish!

The weekend includes horse trail rides, a wagon ride to a chuckwagon style meal, reflection time, bible/devotion time, confidence building groundwork and riding techniques, coffee/tea/snack bar (yes, there’s chocolate), campfire and chatting, music and fun! All meals are provided during your stay.

Horse Intensive Add on: May 16-17
5:00pm Thursday-3:00pm Friday

Something new! WER 2024 now has an option for coming an EXTRA day for more horse intense learning! If you would like even more time in the saddle to learn something new you can sign up for the Friday option. Use one of our horses or bring your own. Friday sessions will start at 9:30 and 1 p.m. and will last 2 hours each. This is a time to work on new skills, address trouble areas you may be having, and take a deeper trail ride learning how to troubleshoot common trail quandaries. 

This is a rain or shine retreat as we have a beautiful 100x200 indoor arena too! We have you covered! (pun intended)

Lodging is in our picturesque Miracle Lodge featuring 27 private, hotel-style rooms. By default you will be sharing a room with another individual but there is an option to be in an individual room for an additional fee.

Participants have the option of riding one of the horses at Ironwood Springs or bringing their own horse (we provide the stall). Please email wrangler@ironwoodsprings.com if you plan on bringing your own horse. This horse must be broke to ride both in the arena and on the trail. .

We require that anyone registering for this camp and riding a horse owned by Ironwood weigh 225# or less. This is an adult women's retreat so we ask that participants be 18 years of age or older.
