Our Restorative Retreats offer a gentle, spacious pause from the demands of life—a day designed to reconnect you with yourself, others, nature, and the quiet wisdom of horses. Whether focused on women’s wellness or leadership development, each small-group retreat blends mindfulness, equine-facilitated learning, nourishing meals, and time for reflection. With a thoughtfully paced schedule, curated add-ons like bonfires or shared meals, and the option to dive deeper in future sessions, these experiences invite you to slow down and realign with what truly matters.

Step into stillness with our Horse Immersion Experience—a mindful journey that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with horses in their natural rhythm. Through guided meditation, quiet observation, and hands-on interaction, you’ll learn to listen with your whole being—letting the horse lead the way. This isn’t about doing, it’s about being—in nature, in presence, and in partnership. Leave with a beautiful take-home immersion packet and new insights that reach far beyond the barn.

Rooted in patience, partnership, and presence, our Dressage Training at Empress Stables and Sanctuary focuses on building a strong foundation between horse and rider. Whether you’re just beginning or refining your craft, our approach emphasizes connection over correction—bringing out the grace, strength, and subtle communication that defines true dressage. In a peaceful setting where both horse and human can thrive, our training invites you to grow in harmony, confidence, and clarity.

Step into a space designed with excellence, elegance, and versatility in mind. Our Olympic-size indoor arena offers a premium experience for riders, trainers, and event hosts alike. Outfitted with professional-grade footing and full-length mirrors, this space provides an ideal setting for fine-tuning dressage movements, building connection between horse and rider, and elevating your training experience to the next level—all within a bright, spacious, and climate-aware facility.
