Discovery Experiences & Retreats
Discovery Experiences
EquusLibere Discovery Experiences are 1.5-4 hour custom-designed experiential processes for individuals, families, and groups looking to explore equine-guided personal and leadership development. Experiences are child friendly.
Experiences are designed to be insightful opportunities to discover equine-facilitated learning and deepen how participants relate to themselves, others, and horses.
Each session is uniquely created around topics meaningful to participants and desired areas of exploration with the horses.

No previous horse experience required. No riding takes place during Discovery Experiences and all activities take place on the ground.
It’s even okay to be afraid of horses.

Wildsong Ranch
Our primary location for retreats in Boulder, CO is Wildsong ranch, a beautiful 55 acre ranch-retreat facility just outside of town.
The EQUUSLIBERE HERD
Boulder, CO retreats also hold sessions with the Bridging Unicorns Herd. Each of my personal horses has an incredible story, and their journeys have taken each of them from being slaughter-bound to joining forces with me in healing and development work.

Testimonials
“I have been with our time together all day- resonating with tracking where I have arrived and opening to the feel of new possibilities. The gift the horses bring to me is that immediate feedback of where I am - when I am deeply connected and when I am not connected. I am so grateful for the work! Bridgit, I was reflecting on the way home what an amazing space you hold- not only do you tend the space for humans, you also tend space for what is going on with the horses and when we meld, the whole. ”
“Bridgit and the horses uniquely show us sides of our behaviors that are often hidden from our own view. Little, if anything, is hidden from the horse and Bridgit is a great intermediary, putting into language possibilities to shift (e.g. unease, being inauthentic, fear) and other behaviors and emotional states that in other contexts limit our freedom and fulfillment. Go for it if you have any sense at all that this adventurous form of learning will serve you in your life.”
“It was powerful to learn how horses regulate our nervous system and I was inspired by horses’ congruency between their inner state and actions. It opened up my eyes to be aware and really feel and connect to my inner thoughts, to sit with what came out of watching the horses’ reactions to our exercises. I felt that I could trust the process and trust the feedback that I was getting by the horses. It was a learning experience realizing how to shift my energy and use it as a tool to better myself and those around me. Bridgit’s sense of caring and kindness can be felt throughout sessions. I would recommend this to anyone that is wanting to do some self discovery and wants to better themselves.”
“The echoes of our time with the horses is still reverberating with me and your gentle yet clear and firm guidance was exceptional in helping me push my edges. I discovered insights about my leadership that would have taken months if not longer to realize in just moments interacting with those horses. Those dances provided immediate, powerful, nuanced and gentle biofeedback on how I show up in the world with others and how I hold and wield my power. ”
