GROUP RETREATS
At Ease is proud to call Sheridan, Wyoming home. Our amazing hometown is located at the base of the stunning Big Horn Mountains and National Forest. An ideal location for the beginning of a western getaway after one of our weeklong horsemanship retreats, Sheridan is situated exactly halfway between Yellowstone National Park and Badlands National Park and Mount Rushmore.
Our weeklong retreats are as unique as our geography. Guests will learn horsemanship from Wyoming mustangs and our local horsemen and cowboys. A generous amount of time will be spent at our host ranch, arena and surrounding trails. Here we will also offer select therapies and experiences. With our signature day being the finale ride into the Bighorn mountains.
A portion of each day will be personalized to each guest’s rest and recovery.
Here are just a few of the attractions guests can choose to complement their horsemanship retreat.
