There’s a kind of peace that only exists in nature — where the wind hums through the trees, horses breathe in unison, and time stretches open.
Here, external noise gives way to quiet calm.
Doing meets being.
And in that shift, you connect with who you really are.
Kenshō means “seeing one’s true nature.”
Here we hold space for these moments and provide experiences that reconnect mind, body, spirit — and horses with professional coaches, trainers and guides.
— Gretchen Fox Palmer, Kenshō Stables Owner; Creator of EQ @Work; ReImagine-Your-Life coach
Step off the treadmill of life, cultivate presence, and discover what horses can teach you about connection, calm, and leadership.
We offer:
Leadership Training & Equine-Facilitated Coaching — guiding you to lead and live from your calm, grounded power center — just like horses.
Holistic Natural Horsemanship — where all equine sports and disciplines come from a place of trust, mutual respect and true partnership.
Well-being with Horses Experiences — calm the mind, open the heart, restore the spirit with energy work in nature’s embrace.
Well-being & Connection Workshops — gatherings that nurture presence, reflection, growth and renewal.
Private Boarding — a small, family-owned community offering a safe, calm, and connected experience for both you and your horse.
At Kenshō Stables, days here don’t feel like work —
They feel like an exhale.
It’s the dogs chasing butterflies, the sun setting over the pasture, the sound of hooves in soft dirt.
It’s a glimpse of your true self reflected back through the eyes of a horse.
A place to ReImagine life — to discover joy not in doing more, but in being present more.
