California, Northern; The Sea Ranch: TSR Stables
 




The Sea Ranch Stables

37405 Highway One; Mile Marker 53.64

The Sea Ranch, CA

 

A learning environment at the coast! The Sea Ranch Stables is a quiet facility which is great for our smaller Equine Body Worker Certification retreat course. On our “off” days we like to take easy walks on the bluff, on the beach or in the forest. There are many artists in the area so there are plenty of shows to visit. Historic landmarks pepper the area along with local music, good food and workshops.

We do use the clubhouse room for the retreat course, but use a different classroom for the courses held here such as the EQ900: Progressive Equine Anatomy workshop. That meeting place will be on The Sea Ranch and will be announced a month before the class. We still go to the stables on a daily basis to visit and learn from the horses.
