I had no idea what to expect when I signed up for Devon's 'Return To The Real You' retreat. I wasn't necessarily looking for a retreat to attend, I just needed a change in my life and I knew getting away to gain clarity was going to be my answer.
I randomly found Devon on social media through a friend who followed her. All I can say is, Devon and the horses hands down are the reason I have made leaps and bounds since that retreat. I had never ridden a horse other than as a child on a horseback riding trip and I left the retreat feeling like a real cowgirl! The entire experience was FUN, expansive, special, awakening, and SO much more. It is hard to put into words and to be honest its not really possible to relay the experience in a way that would do it any justice. I can tell you that not only did I gain clarity, I truly felt like I returned to the "real me."
If you are in ANY place in your life that needs attention, or you just need a self care vacation, or you just want to be around supportive women who will be your friends for life, I would tell you to sign up now! And I have to mention you will be surrounded by incredibly special horses that will change your life and you will always feel connected to them...I have committed to attending at least one retreat a year (I have attended four of Devon's retreats so far and they are each different and special in their own way).
I am 37 and the women's ages range from late 20's to late 70's. So its not just for one type of woman.
If you are reading this, take it as a sign and give yourself this gift that will stay as a memory in your heart forever.
Thank you, Devon for creating the most magical, transformative and special...

If your soul has grown tired and hungry for healing, if you feel you're on the brink of transformation but don't know how to do it alone, you've come to the right place.
In the span of just a few days, Unbridled Retreats will crack you open and not just restore you: it will make you anew. Devon Combs may call herself a coach, but what she is is a midwife to metamorphosis. With patience, humor, and unswerving grace she will see you and spur you to see your own limitless potential. Together with her partners, the wise, magnificent horses, you will encounter intuition and empathy on a level you've likely never experienced before.
I came alone to this retreat, but I left profoundly connected: to a sisterhood of formidable, brave women, to the natural world, and to myself. To say I am grateful hardly scratches the surface of an experience I will never forget.
To Devon and the inimitable Britt, thank you for creating a space unlike any other, for sharing yourselves and your stories so selflessly, and for allowing me to resurrect the self I thought I'd lost.
And to anyone who's taken the time to read this far, you're clearly searching for an answer as to whether an Unbridled Retreat is right for you. Do yourself a favor and say yes: to the horses, to these powerful healers, to the sisterhood you'll find, and to yourself. You...
Read moreWithout Devon and Beyond the Arena I would not be where I am today. She truly changed my life for the better. Before Devon I was constantly overwhelmed with my thoughts and anxiety, I had no idea where I was going with my life. I was failing classes in school, struggling with friendships and relationships, and I felt helpless. I was at the lowest I had ever been. I worked with Devon, who came to work with myself and my personal horse Kort for about two years. I can see the improvement in my life daily. After Devon I am more confident than I have ever been, I am in a wonderful relationship where I am able to address how I am feeling and I have the tools to talk out issues with anyone. I can tackle problems that arise in my life without completely shutting down, that in addition to having continued confidence in my life have been the most significant. I also found my path in life through my passion in training horses and I have been accepted into the same certification course that Devon went through in order to be able to help others in the way that Devon helped me. Devon is such a wonderful human and healer, she is patient and kind and has the knowledge and heart to help anyone willing to ask...
