Spring Ranch Retreat

April 30 – May 2 | Winchester, Ohio

A small-group ranch retreat focused on horsemanship, community, and meaningful progress without pressure or rushing.

Limited to 6 riders

WHY THIS RETREAT IS DIFFERENT

This retreat was created for riders who want more than a one-and-done clinic.

By keeping the group intentionally small, we’re able to slow things down, spend time where it matters most, and create an environment where real learning and connection can happen.

This is about:

Taking time away from daily life
Working through challenges instead of rushing past them
Having space for honest conversation and support
Building confidence through repetition over multiple days

It’s relaxed, unhurried, and focused on helping things stick, not just feel good for a day.

WHAT THE EXPERIENCE LOOKS LIKE

This is a ranch retreat, not a tightly scheduled clinic.

You can expect:

Small class size with lots of individual attention
Multiple horsemanship sessions each day
Time to practice, repeat, and refine concepts
Campfire and barn-talk conversations
A supportive, cowboy-community style atmosphere
Shared meals and time to connect

Day one is about understanding and awareness.
Day two is where challenges show up and where support matters most.
By day three, things begin to come together before you head home.

WHO THIS RETREAT IS FOR

This retreat is a good fit if you:

Value foundation, feel, and understanding
Want time to work through challenges instead of rushing
Appreciate small groups and honest feedback
Are looking for connection and community, not comparison
Want an experience that feels personal and intentional

Group size is capped at six riders to protect the quality of the experience.

All registrations are non-refundable.

About Dan and Dawn Chambers

This retreat reflects how Dan and Dawn teach and live horsemanship. Grounded, thoughtful, and relationship-based.

We believe real progress happens when riders feel supported, have time to practice, and aren’t afraid to ask questions. Small groups allow us to teach with intention and help riders work through challenges in a way that builds confidence that lasts beyond the weekend.

What Participants are Saying:

Chambers Horsemanship really helped me improve my knowledge and ability on Body Control with their clinic. Dawn was super helpful and really knows her stuff. She's exceptionally great at explaining things so you understand them. One of the Best Clinics I ever went to!!!!

-Joanna Stacey

I really enjoyed my experience at the Chambers Horsemanship clinic! Attending with the goal of improving communication with my horse, I found the atmosphere incredibly supportive and comfortable. The practical information provided has proven valuable not only inside the arena but also at my cavalry events. I highly recommend Chambers Horsemanship Clinics!

-Jake Krieger

I have been showing horses for 50 years. I attended the clinic with my young horse and we learned so much together. It has made him and me better connected. Thank you Dawn.--Ameicko Nehus
