Find Renewal through horses

Each Led By Horses workshop and retreat is an opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself through the quiet wisdom of horses. These events combine equine-assisted learning with guided reflection, mindfulness practices, and group connection to help participants explore healing, growth, and purpose.

Horses bring awareness to our energy, emotions, and leadership. They teach presence, trust, and authenticity — essential skills for anyone seeking renewal in their personal or professional life.

Workshops and retreats are open to individuals, couples, and groups. No prior horse experience is required — all activities are unmounted and supported by trained facilitators.

Throughout the year, Led By Horses hosts a variety of experiences designed for reflection, connection, and growth. Some offerings include:

Experience the peace of Dove Creek Ranch

Located near Amarillo in the rolling plains of Canyon, Texas, Dove Creek Ranch offers a serene, natural setting for reflection and renewal. The land, the horses, and the people create a space where healing and growth unfold naturally.

Our facilities include indoor and outdoor arenas, peaceful pastures, and quiet gathering spaces designed to support meaningful connection and learning.

Guided by Experience & Compassion

Each workshop or retreat is facilitated by Laurie Higgins-Kerley, Sheri Friemel, and Jennifer Landram — certified equine facilitators who bring decades of combined experience in leadership, emotional wellness, and experiential learning. Their heart-centered approach and respect for the horses create an environment where genuine transformation can occur.
