A luxury cowgirl retreat in San Miguel de Allende
For women who want to ride, reset, and reconnect – without sacrificing comfort.
This isn’t about escaping your life.
It’s about stepping back into it—with more clarity, more confidence, and more joy.
At The Ranch SMA, Cowgirl Camp is a space to reconnect with yourself through horses, movement, conversation, and shared experience.
You don’t need experience.
You don’t need to be anything other than exactly where you are.
More than riding
Yes, you’ll ride.
Yes, you’ll learn.
But what stays with you is something deeper.
You’ll learn how to:
- communicate clearly—without force
- trust your decisions
- take up space with ease
- move through challenges without overriding yourself
The horses simply make it honest.
Beyond the Ranch
You’ll also experience some of the magic that makes San Miguel unforgettable — from relaxing in natural hot springs to capturing unforgettable moments in the heart of the city.
Every experience is chosen to complement the retreat, not distract from it.
The week feels like
Mornings that begin slowly—with coffee, quiet, and intention.
Days that move between the ranch, the town, and time to reflect.
Moments of challenge, followed by laughter.
Evenings that feel grounded, easy, and connected.
Some days are structured.
Some are open.
Everything is designed to let you experience—not perform.
All activities are guided and adapted to your comfort level, whether you’re experienced or just getting back into riding.

Space to reset
This retreat is designed to give you space — not just physically, but mentally.
Through guided conversations, quiet reflection, and creative exercises, you’ll have the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and process things you don’t usually have time for.
No pressure, no expectations — just space to think, feel, and reset.
Why horses
Horses don’t respond to words.
They respond to clarity, presence, and energy.
They reflect hesitation.
They respond to confidence.
They soften when you soften.
Working with them gives you immediate, honest feedback—without judgment.
The women behind It
We don’t lead from one voice.
We hold this experience together
Katja Smith
Bold, capable, and full of momentum.
She brings clarity, energy, and a strong “let’s do it” presence. Katja’s students rave about her upbeat approach to teaching. She has a long waiting list of clients.
Marti McGinnis
Deeply perceptive and grounded.
She creates space for reflection, expression, and real internal shifts. Marti has facilitated many creativity and equine assisted learning workshops and has many repeat clients.
Kimberly Smith
Observant, thoughtful, and quietly assured. She brings a fresh perspective and a sharp eye for both horse and rider. A fresh voice on the scene, Kimberly has a stable of enthusiastic students and clients of all ages.
Different energies. Shared rhythm
Between us, we’ve spent years teaching, guiding, and working closely with riders of all levels – helping them build confidence, connection, and real progress. Riders we’ve worked with consistently leave feeling more confident, more connected, and clearer in their riding.
Alongside the riding, the retreat also includes thoughtfully guided conversations and space for personal reflection, supported by Marti, who brings extensive experience in facilitating meaningful, grounded discussions.
This combination is what allows the experience to go deeper – not just in your riding, but in how you feel and show up.
We are making a space where you don’t have to fit a mold.
