About

The entrance to Spirit Winds Ranch located in the scenic Griffin Valley off Township Road 270 and Beaupre Creek Road, West of Cochrane, Alberta, Canada

Welcome to Spirit Winds Ranch
We are all about Natural Horsemanship. We are a non-riding facility that focuses on connecting with horses from the ground. Our horses have come from all over to retire here and connect with us on completely different levels.

Our mission here is to offer the opportunity to explore horse powered connections, without having to own one. We pride ourselves on being a safe environment where you can come and connect comfortably with horses. It gives you the opportunity to be truly in touch with your emotions and senses and to communicate those in constructive ways to those you work with, interact with and live with. Being with horses is empowering, healing and liberating.

We specialize in the following workshops that cater to people of all ages and stages of life:

  • EAL – Known as Equine Assisted Learning, a hands on learner based approach to explore individual and team growth. Students and horses are taken through a collaborative series of exercise to explore problem solving. These exercises are designed to encourage self-confidence and strengthen communication.
  • FEEL – Known as Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning, a horse centered learning that supports personal growth at more of an emotional level. The focus of FEEL is more on acquiring skills and experience to gain self-knowledge.
  • Horsetime – Come and just be with our horses to sooth and relax the mind and soul. You do not have to own a horse to connect with one.
  • Natural Horsemanship – Learn to communicate and establish trust with your horse through a series of training exercises.

Our ancestors have used this area wisely with its natural vantage point West to the Rocky Mountains and East to the city of Calgary. Their spirits still inhabit these lands and they speak to us in the winds and gentle breezes.

When you come to Spirit Winds we know you will feel the same peace and soul satisfying energy as we do. It is a place of communication and understanding, where judgements are not made. Come for the horses…stay for the peace and tranquility.

But don’t take our word for it, see what others have to say about our programs and facility.
