Where: Granby, Colorado

What: Julie Goodnight and Barbra Schulte Riding and Wellness Retreat

Bring your own horse or borrow a dude ranch horse to enjoy five days of riding in the Rocky Mountains with renowned clinicians (and H&R contributors) Julie Goodnight and Barbra Schulte at the luxurious C Lazy U Guest Ranch (clazyu.com) during the annual riding and wellness retreat.

This riding retreat offers you plenty of saddle time with daily lessons from Goodnight and Schulte, plus workshops that help you develop your inner strength, confidence, personal fitness, and healthy living.

Wind down after an afternoon packed with activities by partaking in a guided trail ride and explore new areas of the ranch, or stop by the spa for a relaxing and well-
deserved massage. But be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get back to your cabin to watch the ranch’s famous daily jingle—where the wranglers herd 200 ranch horses out to pasture at the end of each day.

Celebrating 100 Years
