is ride—from the first morning when
the cowboys serve mimosas to the last night of
being serenaded by the talent around the fire—is
designed for women to let go of their worries, face
their fears and open up to complete strangers. You
go home with a new outlook on life and a fresh
appreciation of who you are.
On the last day, each
woman gets a white
T-shirt, and the other riders
write a word or phrase to
describe her on the back.
"The only rule is you can't
look at your shirt until after
arriving home, where you'll
find a colorful reminder of
the person you are," says
Shawn Hamilton.
One mare, Gracy, had an unnamed foal with her throughout the ride.
Your horse is tacked and untacked for you,
gourmet meals are served up daily, and your only
worry is whether to ride, lounge around camp with
a book, take a hike or sit by the river and medi-
tate. Terri has a way of breaking through every-
one's different shells to bring out all the good stuff
that can be hiding inside.
