      One of the BEST retreats and confidence builders

      I have attended several retreats, and somehow, they just get better and better! It seemed all the horses and riders were on similar levels and we all had growth in ourselves and our horses. We all pushed past our comfort zones and it was exhilarating! Highly recommend.

      AMAZING Experience

      I wasn’t sure what to expect but Horse Help revealed a week full of training, riding, encouragement, laughter, fellowship, friendship and great food. Horse Help truly introduced me to what could be with my horse - it’s up to me and time I spend in the saddle to ride in the discipline of my choice - thanks to Horse Help for giving me the tools I need !

      It sounds like the 2025 Cattle Retreat was a game-changer for you! I’m so glad it gave you the confidence and tools to ride in your chosen discipline. The mix of training, support, and fun really seems like the perfect combination. Enjoy the journey ahead with your horse!

      Cattle retreat

      I recently attended the Cattle Retreat with Michael Gascon. This has been one of the my favorite retreats, having attending a few before this. The prior retreats, along with the Horse Help Challenge, The Horse Help Course and Horse Help College, prepared me to get the most out of the Cattle Retreat. In fact, it far exceeded my expectations. I have gone from a rider lacking confidence after a fall with injury to regaining my confidence, finding balance in my seat and GALLOPING my Paso Fino Mare , Serafina, chasing a roping dummy. I felt like I was 11 years old again ( I’m 63 years old). One transition I experienced riding at the cattle retreat was I began to ride with intention . Michael would call it Instinctual Riding. This is where all of the technical riding skills I have learned, while still present and keeping me safe, took at back seat to riding in partnership with Serafina using intention and natural body language to ride. Basically, I was able to get out of my head and out of my own way, to enjoy some of the best and most fun riding I have ever dreamed. I am over the moon happy.
      I highly recommend starting a training journey with Michael Gascon. You will be glad you did. I sure am.

      Wow, it’s incredible to hear how much the 2025 Cattle Retreat transformed your riding! It sounds like Michael’s training really helped you overcome past challenges and rediscover the joy of riding. Your experience is truly inspiring—especially galloping at with such confidence! Thanks for sharing your journey.

      Personal attention

      I attended this retreat with my daughter. Was astounded at how attentive both Michael and his team were to the skill level and abilities of each horse and rider. He has a gift for pushing you to the edge of your comfort level to increase your confidence. The individual attention that is given to each participant is amazing. I cannot recommend these retreats any higher! Also, the food and lodging is top notch. Have already booked my next retreat and can hardly wait!

      Wow, it sounds like an incredible experience for both you and your daughter at the Confidence Retreat! We so glad to hear that you recieved the personalized attention to build your confidence levels. It's wonderful that you’re already looking forward to your next retreat-we look forward to seeing you again!

      Greatest experience ever

      I highly recommend attending at least one retreat, the confidence retreat gave me back the confidence I had lost. The knowledge that I left with was unbelievable, and everyone there is so welcoming. Words can’t explain how great it really was

      That's amazing to hear! We are so happy the #13 Confidence Retreat helped you regain your confidence and provided such valuable knowledge. It sounds like it was truly a transformative experience! Thank you!
