There are only a few spots left for our first R&R Retreat, and I honestly couldn’t be more excited.

I truly believe this is one of the best things I’ve ever created. Over the last several months, I’ve poured my heart into every part of this retreat—from the devotionals and workbook to the horse activities, conversations and quiet moments that I hope point every woman back to Jesus.

As I finalized the book that holds the lesson plans, devotionals, and stories - I started to cry. As I read through it one last time, I couldn’t help but feel like the Holy Spirit had been guiding every page. God gave me the idea, and little by little, He helped put it to paper. I got chills during that final read-through because I knew this weekend was about so much more than improving riding skills.

God has always used horses in my life to connect with people, and I believe this weekend will be no different. I truly believe He already has a plan in motion for every woman who will be here, and I can’t wait to watch it unfold.

My prayer has been simple:
That every woman who comes leaves feeling seen, encouraged, refreshed and reminded of who God says she is.

If you’ve been overwhelmed, carrying too much, or simply feel like you need a weekend to breathe, rest, and reconnect with God… maybe this is exactly where you’re supposed to be.

✨ We only have a few spots remaining, and I would absolutely love to spend this weekend with you.

I can’t wait to see what God has in store. 🤍

Today I hosted a small play day to test the arena out, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went! The footing is fantastic, the horses felt great and seeing everyone enjoying the space was something special.

The truth is, this was a dream. One I’ve spent years working toward, planning for, praying over and pouring my heart into. Standing there today, it hit me…

This isn’t just a dream anymore. It’s real. God moved mountains for us and now we’re here. This blessing just keeps getting bigger.

⭐️A huge 140’ x 260’ arena with great footing.
⭐️A beautiful country backdrop.
⭐️A nice breeze rolling through.
⭐️Plenty of trailer parking, in a flat hay field.
⭐️A place where people can come together to ride, learn, compete and make memories.
Sounds pretty great to me! 🤩

There is still more to do - build an announcer booth, replace old panels, put up lights etc. But today was one of those moments that makes all the hard work worth it. Every lesson, every clinic, every long day, every obstacle, every hour and every person who believed in this vision helped make today possible. And it’s just getting started.

🎉 Starting in July, watch for the launch of the Honest Gaming Series, along with barrel races, clinics, open arena opportunities, and more!

I can’t wait to share this next chapter with all of you and continue building a place where horses, people and community come together. ❤️

Desensitize your babies. Show them EVERYTHING! Let them explore the world when they are young, you will thank yourself later.

Lucy has had quite a few experiences already, she is so desensitized she can balance things on her t**h! LOL 😂

Maybe the secret to adulthood is to not loose the part of you that braids wildflowers into your horses tail 🌼

“Consider the wildflowers, how they grow. They neither labor nor spin… yet not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.”
— Luke 12:27

Joy was never supposed to be outgrown ❤️

Hello Team,

Please be advised that the Honest Equine HR Department is currently investigating several ongoing workplace matters including unauthorized snack theft, emotional support incidents, repeated personal space violations, and yearlings creating unsafe working conditions.

Additionally, cookie inventory remains critically low.

Tootsie from HR asks that all employees respect nap time policies, stop filing non-emergency complaints during feeding hours and remember that standing directly in the gate is not an approved workplace activity.

Thank you,
Tootsie
Head of HR

On Today’s Adventures with Hailey 🤠😂😂

Took a kiddo on a trail ride today when a GIANT nope noodle crossed right in front of us. Most horses would loose their mind… but Dealer?

Stepped on it.
Looked at the snake.
Looked at me.
Remembered the child on his back.
Looked at the snake.
Squished the snake.
Then calmly continued his job like the employee of the month he is 🤠

Meanwhile I was internally preparing my funeral and trying not to shriek. And the kiddo? Had absolutely zero idea this whole nope rope encounter even happened!

Good Boy Dealer!

The next generation of horsemen helping me teach the future generation. ❤️

One of my favorite things about this program is watching kids grow up into leaders — learning not only how to ride horses, but how to guide, encourage and care for the younger kids coming behind them. Allison, Lily and Peyton use to be the littles, and now they are helping the littles 🥹.

This is what Honest Equine is about:
patience, kindness, responsibility and passing knowledge down with grace.

Watching these kids step up and help teach the little ones fills my heart every single time. 🐴

Too young? Nope!

These two kids are just 3 and 5 years old, learning that horses aren’t just something you ride — they’re something you care for, respect and grow with.

This lesson was big smiles, proud moments and two very good horses taking care of their littles. 🐴

Dealer and Reese truly are the best teachers.
Patient, kind, forgiving and steady — exactly the kind of horses little kids need!

Never too early for horses.
Never too early for confidence.
Never too early for life lessons in the barn. ✨

R&R — Rest & Revival

This weekend was created with intention.
Not just as a riding clinic.
Not just as a girls weekend.
But as a space for women to slow down, breathe, reconnect and refill the cup they are constantly pouring out of. ❤️

R&R stands for:
✨ Rest
✨ Refuel
✨ Revive
✨ Repair
✨ Reset

This retreat is centered around horses, faith, fellowship and stepping away from the chaos of everyday life for a little while. Through riding, devotionals, campfires, meaningful conversations, worship, laughter and quiet moments with horses - my hope is that women leave feeling lighter, encouraged, and spiritually refreshed.

And the best part? You do not have to be an experienced rider to come. If you’re nervous to ride, haven’t ridden in years, or simply want the fellowship and peaceful atmosphere without pressure, there will absolutely be space for that too. This weekend is about meeting people where they are.

Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is slow down long enough to hear God again.

Horses. Faith. Fellowship. Rest.

I truly believe this weekend is going to be something special. A lot of prayers are flowing into weekend.

If you are interested in learning more message me to secure your spot! ❤️
