You don’t have to figure it out on your own!

Kate built her program around the equine welfare benefits of improving rider biomechanics. But she found she had to go deeper into equine physiology and psychology to design a facility and management strategy that gives the horses that same level of support. Read Kate’s story >

Savannah joined Hideaway to offer that support, with a focus on developing the horse's own biomechanics and movement. She found real success with standard training methods as a young professional, until she hit a ceiling that sent her to bodywork and nervous system re-patterning for lasting whole-horse solutions.

We bring together both perspectives to make real partnership possible for every level of athlete.

Whether your goal is a quiet trail ride or the competition ring, you want the same thing every rider does: a genuinely healthy horse and an authentic partnership.

Standard board options force a trade-off: pasture board that offers freedom but doesn't address the details, or traditional stall board that manages every detail but restricts a horse from living the way it's evolved to function.

Instead of worrying that you can't replicate fully natural living for our horses and expect them to thrive in a human world, we design a lifestyle to support their nervous systems for long term soundness.

We built Hideaway because we'd each hit the same wall from different directions: Kate finding that her horses needed more support than better riding, Savannah discovering that standard training methods had a ceiling that only whole-horse wellness could break through. 

Together, we offer a program that treats full-time turnout and holistic management as the path to a sound athlete, not a compromise on care. Submit an application, schedule a visit, and see what's possible for you and your horse.

Many horses plagued by subtle lameness patterns and chronic stress behaviors never reach their potential in partnership because their care is either too passive or too restrictive to meet their true physiological and psychological needs.

At Hideaway, you get both: a horse that lives like a horse and feels like an athlete — and the support to enjoy what brought you to horses in the first place.
