Our Services
All our activities are done on the ground near or with the horses, so, no riding experience is necessary. We do not provide onsite therapists. If you would like to bring your own, please contact us directly. All healing here is hands-on and experiential. Our goal is to empower you to find the best version of yourself so everyone in your herd will benefit.
Community Collaboration
Collaboration is our specialty here at Horse Time and we welcome you to collaborate with us and suggest collaborations with professionals in the community who want to invite the horses to participate. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination and we are open to facilitating a safe and insightful experience.

Weekend Healing Retreats
Wellness retreats are offered during the summer. Watch for our 2026 calendar of events to get in on any early registration discounts.
Paddock Paradise Track System
Wild horses travel 20 miles a day or more, along familiar tracks each day to find food. Paddock Paradise tries to mimic this using a track system. Our horses are kept outdoors 24/7 on a track system and encouraged to move as much as possible during the day, to mimic the lifestyle of wild horses. Barefoot trimmers love seeing the improved function of hooves from living on a track system.
​If you are new to the idea of keeping horses outside of boxes, this introduction can help you find out whether it is something you can design for your own horses. Donation encouraged for your tour.

Horsemanship
Have you always wanted to learn more about horses, but you don't know where to start? We offer the basics of grooming, feeding, exercising, training and forming a safe, solid relationship with a horse. ​
Maybe you had horses when you were young and now that your kids are grown, you'd like to explore getting back into it. Sandra can meet you where you are and explore where to go from there. With a lifetime of experience owning, training, giving lessons and working on numerous horse farms, Sandra will help you find your place in the vast world of horses and decide a re-entry point or explore ways to get your horse fix without the commitment of ownership.
