      Great retreat

      I learned so much at this retreat! I have more skills/tools to continue training my horse at home. I feel more confident in my riding. I would do this retreat again!

      We’re so glad you gained useful tools for training at home and feel more confident in your riding from the Fall #9 Advanced Boot Camp Retreat. We hope to see you again at a future retreat!

      Advanced Bootcamp retreat

      I just attended the Advanced Bootcamp retreat and I highly recommend this one! I learned soooo much. It was fun but I really enjoyed the level of knowledge that Michael shared with all of us. I enjoyed it so much I want to attend it again to learn even more advanced horsemanship. My goal is to incorporate what I learned at this retreat so we can go further at the next Advanced Retreat!! As always, the Gascon's do an excellent job of hospitality, and of course, sharing their knowledge of horses and horsemanship. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Poplarville!

      We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Fall #9 Advanced Boot Camp Retreat and took so much away from it. We look forward to seeing you back in Poplarville and continuing your horsemanship journey with you!

      Absolutely amazing

      If I could give this retreat a 10 out of 10 I would! Amazing people, amazing family. The group my mom and I were with were so fun and encouraging. We made great friends and truly had the best time and learned so much. It relit a fire in me I had lost and a love for horses I had forgotten. Michael and Kelsey have hearts of Gold and so much information to share. They are fantastic teachers with so much patience and love. My first day at the retreat I was already planning our next visit. If you are an anxious rider or just need more information and want to have fun while learning this is the retreat for you. They are uplifting and don't make you feel bad when you just don't feel like you can get on the horse. They encourage you every step of the way and support you when you need it the most. Their entire family is amzing! Full families and generations of love and learning. Even if you are completely new to horses this is the place for you. Start right and learn as much as you can! They encourage every kind of question! I truly can't say enough about this retreat and the people. All of their staff is like family as well and just as encouraging. I can't thank them enough for their time and patience.

      What a beautiful testimony to the power of The Spring Confidence Retreat with great horses, great teachers, and an even greater horse family. It’s amazing how a place filled with patience, encouragement, and love can reignite confidence and bring back a passion you thought was gone. We love hearing all of this!

      We absolutely loved having you and Faith with us at the Spring Confidence Retreat! Hearing that you felt like family means the world to us, and we’re already excited for Retreat #3 with you and the friends you are bringing!
