Our Herd

Meet the Cowgirl Yoga™ Horses

Beauty and Grace (and Humor) Personified

Meet the core members of our Cowgirl Yoga herd (affectionately known as our “yoga horses”). We integrate three of our own horses (Java, Skywalker, and Atlas) into Cowgirl Yoga Equine Coaching, and you’ll meet our partner herd at 9 Quarter Circle Ranch on Dude Ranch Cowgirl Yoga™.

Never tried a yoga horseback riding retreat before? Combining these activities isn’t as crazy as it sounds. Horses have the unique ability to mirror our balance, breath, and spirit. Horses are “moving yoga mats” on which we can align our bodies and energies. Horses are graceful, forgiving teachers, and we have much to learn from them. 

Meet Our Herd

  • Appaloosas
    Partner Herd

    Almost all horses in the 9 Quarter Circle Ranch herd are Appaloosas, specifically chosen for stamina, temperament, beauty, and surefootedness. #appyskick@ss #myfavoritecolorisspotted

  • Rocky Mountain
    Atlas

    A stunning Roman nose led to his name. He can hold the weight of the world on his back too. Loves people. Affectionately nicknamed "Chocolate Butt". #gloriousgait

  • Tennessee Walking Horse
    Java Bean

    The equine equivalent of an "extra shot please" Starbucks order, Java pairs giddy-up-and-go with an ultra-smooth gait. Unabashedly vain in front of the camera. #sassandclass

  • Tennessee Walking Horse
    Skywalker

    Whoa, buddy! This Tennessee Walking Horse is one tall drink of water. BSYR's resident "Black Beauty," Skywalker is gorgeous inside and out. #sexyandsophisticated
