Equine retreats in New Mexico: 'Healing Through Horses' offers private wellness sessions
Summary
Judy Schneider described 'Healing Through Horses,' a private equine‑inspired retreat program in Abiquiu, New Mexico, offering multi‑day sessions focused on personal development, partnership with horses and experiential education.
Judy Schneider, who identified herself as the founder of Healing Through Horses and a social worker and coach, described a program of private, multi‑day equine‑inspired wellness retreats based in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
"What we do there is host equine inspired wellness retreats for men and women," Schneider said, explaining that she moved from group retreats for women to mostly private retreats of three to seven days. Participants work closely with horses, often "at liberty" without halters or lead lines, to explore life issues, relationships and personal development.
Schneider said retreats are tailored: some guests request specific work while others discover themes in the process. She described outcomes she has heard from participants, including women who called the experience "life changing" and one participant who said she experienced "true love" with a horse after 25 years of marriage.
Schneider also emphasized the educational element: she offers prep material and hands‑on coaching in horse handling, but the bulk of the work is experiential. She invited interested attendees to speak with her privately about retreat options and provided printed materials at the event.
