Women’s Horsemanship Clinics
Horsewomen of a Certain Age
Who are we? The women I know who are on the horsemanship journey are from a wide age range, are from all walks of life, reside in countries all over the world, and they have the common bond of the horse as a major fixture in their life. For you women, Blue Sky Sage exists. This is a place to continue your horsemanship journey, at whatever fork in the trail you are at right now. If you are ready to move forward, then I invite you to join me for a time of growth, confidence-building, and fun.
The Horsewoman’s Journey
Blue Sky Sage has been a leader in women-only horseback riding vacations for over 25 years. Our women’s horsemanship clinics were a natural evolution of our business and horsemanship practice as the interest and desire for more educational-based experiences became evident. Over the years, we have developed opportunities for our guests to delve into more horsemanship instruction and hands-on practice. Since my retirement from offering fully outfitted and guided horseback riding retreats, I am now offering private riding lessons, virtual coaching, and horsemanship clinics across the country. These sessions are all about horses and riding, in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. We’ll cover everything from safety on the ground and in the saddle, to overcoming fear, building up your body and mind, and everything in between. My goal is to help you honestly evaluate where you are at, identify where you want to be, and create a road map to get you there. While there are never any guarantees on the horsewoman’s journey, you can expect a great deal of challenge, but also the sweet reward of success and progress during the process. Every session is hands-on, free-spirited horsemanship. Depending on the exact situation, the real teachers will be your own horse, or one of my solid, wise, experienced open-range horses. This is your invitation to join me to journey forward and open yourself up to discovery.
