Intermediate Retreat: Perfecting Your Riding Skills

For those ready to advance their riding abilities, our Intermediate Retreat is just what you need. Over 5 days and 6 nights in our picturesque Southern Mississippi ranch, you'll find comfortable lodging in cabins, cowboy quarters, or a Western-style hotel. Coupled with an unforgettable experience, you’ll get to combine world-class education in an environment where you can feel comfortable and confident getting your questions answered and actually making progress with your horse. You can bring your own horse or borrow one of our Paso Finos or Quarter Horses. 

WE RECOMMEND WANTING TO PLAY GAMES A LITTLE MORE COMPETITIVELY FOR THIS RETREAT AS MANY RIDERS ARE EXCITED TO WORK ON CANTERING. 

This retreat focuses on honing your horsemanship skills through obstacles and games when it comes to the walk, trot, and cantering thrown in. You'll build on the basics of horsemanship and develop your confidence and control. It's the perfect opportunity to take your riding to the next level under the guidance of Michael Gascon, The Horse Guru.
