A gentle introduction to horses, communication, and mindful walking
This 1-day retreat is an ideal first introduction to horses, designed to help you build both theoretical understanding and practical skills that support calm, harmonious interaction.
We move at a slow, mindful rhythm, allowing plenty of time for grounding, observation, and embodied learning.
All skills explored during this day are transferable to everyday life—communication, leadership, awareness, softness, boundaries, emotional regulation, and the art of moving with intention.
This experience is suitable for absolute beginners, individuals curious about holistic horsemanship, or anyone seeking a reset in nature.
Settle into our coastal sanctuary, meet the herd, and ease into the rhythm of the day.
A gentle, theoretical and experiential session covering:
how horses perceive the world
emotional states and reading body language
safety, softness, and presence
beginning to meet the horse as an equal partner
A human-to-human awareness practice focusing on:
clarity and intention
alignment, rhythm, and posture
leading without force
the subtle dialogue of movement
This is followed by a short introduction to applying these concepts with a horse.
Bring your own packed lunch to enjoy in our quiet resting area.
Time to integrate, breathe, and take in the landscape around you.
A guided walk along the coastline and into the pine forest, featuring:
leading practice with horses
awareness of terrain and movement
moments of quiet observation, reflection, and connection
The walk includes a medium incline, accessible to most people with moderate fitness.
Following this introductory day, you may continue with individual lessons tailored to your skill level and the needs of our horses.
Topics may include:
intrinsic motivation & movement science
liberty work
groundwork for relaxation
connection-based leadership
agility & balanced movement
deepening confidence and softness
My work is rooted in building a solid foundation of trust, clarity, understanding, and emotional safety. From this base, we introduce elements of play, liberty, strength building, and empowered movement.
Pricing is offered for an individual retreat, and the day can be adapted for couples, families, or groups of up to 8 persons.
Individual premium experience: 360 EUR
Couples and small families (2–4 persons): 250 EUR per person
Groups of 5–8 persons: 200 EUR per person
We are in the ongoing process of developing our seaside horse sanctuary, located on the coast among wind-shaped dunes and ancient pine forests near VENTSPILS.
