Customer Reviews
My first time experience with Horse Help retreat was beyond amazing! Such an uplifting time. Michael and Kelsey and family are so positive and sincere. I learned so much and can’t wait to apply it to my boys.
The week went by so fast! I met so many great people who love their horses and strive to be better partners with their horses.
The family went above and beyond to make my week exceptional, they made me feel like part of the family and even baked me an amazing cake for my birthday and celebrated with me.
Thank you so much!!

We’re thrilled your first 2025 Fall Cattle Retreat was uplifting and that you enjoyed learning and connecting with others. It was a joy celebrating your birthday with you, and we can’t wait to see how you apply everything with your boys!
Had a blast and learned a lot. My horse definitely got better as well and took home lots to work on. Want to come back again sometime.
That’s wonderful to hear! We’re so glad you had a great time at the Fall 2025 Cattle Retreat and that you and your horse both learned so much. We’d love to have you back again — keep up the great work!
I had heard how much fun the cattle retreats were but had never attended since they sold out so fast. I did go to the November 2025 cattle retreat and had a fantastic time. We learned so much about the ins and outs of cows. Everyone there was focused on how to be a better partner with their horse; how to sort and cut cows and laugh at yourself. We were each others cheerleaders. Michael is a master at layering on steps to advance your horse safely with a smile. I have signed up for the 2026 Cattle Retreat. I cannot wait to see what else he has in store for us.
We’re so glad you finally got to experience a cattle retreat and had such a fantastic time! The learning, laughter, and supportive atmosphere you described are exactly what we hope for. Michael’s step-by-step approach truly helps both horse and rider grow with confidence. We can’t wait to see you again in 2026 — it’s going to be amazing!
If I could have given 10 stars on this one, I would. Michael moved my horse forward in his training by leaps and bounds. It wasn't the horse, it was the adjustments he made to me that made the difference. Thank you MG team, it was so informative and fun to again grow in my horsemanship!
⭐️ We love hearing how much progress you and your horse made together at the At the Fall 2025 Cattle Retreat. That growth through small adjustments is what it’s all about. We’re so glad you had fun and were able to keep growing in your horsemanship — thank you for being part of the MG team!
As a last minute decision I was able to finally go to an MG retreat! Even though I had to miss a day, I enjoyed every minute of my time there. Got to meet some amazing people who are now more like family, took part in activities that I otherwise wouldn’t do and was amazed at how much fun I had. Not to mention the boost in confidence that came from it as well. And lets not forget all the amazing meals. I can’t say enough about The Gascon Family and the
wonderful time I had. I talk about the weeks events
so much I think my family tunes me out. Definitely
can’t wait to attend again soon.
So glad you were able to make it to the Fall 2025 Cattle Retreat! ❤️ We love hearing how meaningful and fun the retreat was for you — from the connections and confidence boost to the amazing meals. We can’t wait to have you back again soon!
