Working from the ground in a round pen, it's a multi-level, hands-on approach created to develop understanding of our equine partners and ourselves. "Horses listen to our body language and do not judge you based on who you are, what position you have [in society], what title you have, what color you are," said Jordan. "ey just give you pure bio-feed- back that is not prejudice." Participants are given a worksheet and, in the spirit of mental wellbeing, encouraged to journal about their experiences. After my session concluded, I made my way to the stunning and immaculate Salamander Spa, which occupies its own wing of the resort. I'm a bit of a spa junkie, and this was, by far, the nicest I'd ever been to. Open to guests of the resort and locals alike, the space is overwhelmingly beautiful, with a muted and soothing color palette. No detail has been overlooked, from the deliciously soft, fleece-lined robes to the year-round heated out- door infinity pool for spa guests. e resort has PHOTO COURTESY OF SALAMANDER JUSTIN KRIEL/CONTRAST FX PHOTO
