This retreat is ideal for women who want to have an exciting cowgirl weekend! The horseback ride itself will be two hours long, a perfect trip for someone who doesn’t frequently ride horses. We will be fully immersed in nature for the weekend , camped just east of Pagosa Springs and a short walk away from the horses.
