Ready to ride deeper, grow stronger, and reconnect—with your horse and yourself?
The LNH “Unlock Your Horse’s Potential” Personal Development & Horsemanship Ranch Retreat is where horsemanship meets intentional personal growth. It’s five days of skill-building, soul-refreshing, and confidence-boosting surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Nebraska Sandhills.
If you're looking to:
• Build a deeper bond with your horse
• Strengthen your skills in and out of the arena
• Connect with like-minded horsewomen
• Unplug, reset, and refocus
• Step into the next version of yourself...
Then saddle up—this is your invitation.
Then saddle up—this is your invitation!
If you’ve made it this far, you’re someone who’s seeking a journey of improvement—a journey that combines your passion for the horse with a desire to grow, both mentally and physically.
You’re also someone who loves to learn—and what better way to do that than with your horse by your side?
Whether you're looking to build confidence, gain clarity, or simply step away from the everyday chaos of life, the LNH Ranch Retreat offers space to breathe, reflect, and grow—in a place where the mornings are quiet, the stars are bright, and the only thing louder than your thoughts might be the coyotes howling at night.
It’s a retreat, yes—but not the spa kind. This is for women who find peace in the saddle, perspective under a wide-open sky, and strength in doing hard things alongside their horse.
You deserve to take the time to:
• travel to this one-of-a-kind, wide-open location,
• grow your technical, mental, and personal skills with hands-on coaching from Lexy and insights from an array of guest speakers,
• connect deeply with like-minded horsewomen who just get it,
• and soak in the kind of scenery you just can’t appreciate from anywhere but the back of a good horse.
So—if you’re ready to work through your own riding challenges, gain mental clarity, and push for growth (both in and out of the saddle)...
If you’re craving coaching that goes beyond mechanics and into who you are as a horsewoman...
Then this retreat isn’t just for you—it’s calling your name.
2025 could be your year.
WHAT WILL YOU GAIN FROM THIS EVENT?
You’ll leave a better rider on a better horse—with more tools in your pocket and a deeper understanding of how to handle challenges both in and out of the arena. You’ll ride with Lexy in focused sessions and take what you’ve learned out on real-world trail rides designed to build trust, feel, and partnership.
But it’s more than just saddle time.
You’ll walk away with confidence, clarity, and community—built through honest conversations, mental skills training, and pushing past the limits you didn’t even know you had.
Plus: You’ll still have time to kick back around the fire, laugh with new friends, or sneak away for a quiet moment to recharge.
This retreat has been on my heart since the day Lexy Nuesch Horsemanship came to life. To finally be sharing this one-of-a-kind experience with you is not just exciting—it’s deeply meaningful.
From the very beginning, my mission has been to Unlock Your Horse’s Potential. I’ve done that through colt starting, clinics, lessons, and ongoing mentorship—but over time, I felt a calling to go deeper. To serve you not just as a rider, but as a whole person.
The LNH Ranch Retreat is the answer to that calling.
It’s been a dream of mine to welcome horsewomen like you to my home base—to share the ranch I love and create something that’s not just educational, but transformational.
This is the most impactful thing I’ve ever done in my career.
There’s truly nothing else like it in our industry:
An experience that blends technical skill-building, deep personal growth, and trail miles on your own horse—all in a setting that invites you to breathe, reset, and grow.
I want to help you:
-
Sharpen your skills—mentally and technically
-
Let go of the pressure to “measure up” and know you’re not alone
-
Get clear on your personal journey and what matters most
-
Rekindle joy and purpose in the saddle
-
Carve out space to do something just for you and your horse
-
Soak in the beauty of the Nebraska Sandhills
This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a turning point.
Here's what you're going to experience:
Five unforgettable days filled with:
-
Personal development sessions and powerful guest speakers
-
Hands-on clinic-style horsemanship instruction
-
Guided trail rides across the beautiful Sandhills landscape
This retreat isn’t just about riding—it’s about reconnecting with yourself and your horse in a place that feels a world away from the noise of everyday life.
All meals are included, along with accommodations for both you and your horse right here at the ranch.
(Please note: personal accommodations are BYOG—Bring Your Own Generator.)
What's Included in your event package?
Each morning kicks off with breakfast and a group gratitude gathering to ground ourselves before the day begins.
After breakfast, we’ll dive into meaningful personal development conversations—ones that challenge, inspire, and help you get clear on what matters most.
Afternoons are all about time in the saddle. You'll work with your horse in a clinic-style setting or head out on guided trail rides through the Sandhills, applying what you've learned in real-time.
Evenings are yours to enjoy—whether that means swapping stories around the fire with the other ladies or carving out quiet time to yourself. Supper is included each night, with a mix of ranch meals and a trip (or two) into town to visit the infamous L Bow Room.

Meet Lexy
Hi, I’m Lexy—a Nebraska-based horse trainer and lifelong student of horsemanship and personal growth.
I’ve spent the past 11+ years building a training program focused on starting and advancing horses for the ranch, trail, and performance arena. I’m currently stepping into the cowhorse and ranch versatility world and love the challenge of developing both horse and rider into confident, capable partners.
But beyond the saddle, I’ve always believed there’s more to this lifestyle than blue ribbons and big stops. Through lessons, clinics, and retreats, I help women step into their full potential—not just as horsewomen, but as people.
I’m not here to play guru. I’m here to ride alongside you, ask good questions, and share what I’ve learned through experience—both the wins and the hard-earned lessons.
This retreat was born from that mission.
If you’re someone who wants to deepen your connection with your horse and reconnect with yourself in the process, you’ll be right at home here.
If you're thinking about joining us for the 2025 Ranch Retreat or have any questions after checking out the FAQ's, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to chat.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the 2025 LNH 5-Day Women’s “Unlock Your Horse’s Potential” Personal Development & Horsemanship Retreat here in the beautiful Nebraska Sandhills.
See you on the ranch,
Lexy Nuesch
