Be part of The Riders Retreat, no horse required.
We’ve created a dedicated Off-Horse Experience for riders who want to be immersed in the retreat, learn from elite coaches, and invest in themselves, even if they’re not riding.
This is not just spectating. It’s a full day experience designed to give you access to real education, expert insight, and tools you can apply in your own riding, all while treating yourself like the athlete you are.
Whether your horse is spelling, injured, or simply not in work right now, this is a powerful opportunity to stay engaged, learn from some of the best, and continue progressing.
