The Backcountry Camp

Location
L-Z Ranch,
Pagosa Springs, CO

Date
July 23 -26

2026

Four days. No walls. No agenda. Just you, a horse, and the wild. This is for the woman who's been craving something real — open sky, firelight, and the kind of quiet that only comes when you're miles from everything familiar.

The Basecamp Experience takes you into Pagosa country on horseback, where you’ll spend four days on a private ranch, sleeping in rugged canvas tents under a canopy of stars, riding half and full-day trails, and living close to the land the way it was meant to be lived. Mornings start with coffee by the fire. Evenings end with stories around it.

But this isn't just a trail ride. You'll come away with real skills, building confidence in the saddle, and learning how to care for a horse out on the trail. The kind of knowledge that opens up a whole new world of what's possible with a horse.

No experience necessary — our all-women team meets every rider where she is and makes sure no one gets left behind.

Come for the adventure. Leave knowing you're capable of more than you thought.

Camp is $1,999 for four days.
