We have a deep passion for helping others feel seen and heard, particularly children and sensitive individuals, by integrating horse, nature & art. About Ravenheart Equine-Assisted Learning & Retreat Centre

Ravenheart Farms, located just 15 minutes from Kamsack, Saskatchewan, is a place of healing, growth, and self-discovery. Owned and operated by Carol Marriott, a **Certified Equine-Assisted Learning Facilitator, Ravenheart offers equine-facilitated wellness, life coaching, and personal development retreats in a peaceful, nature-based setting. Nestled on 105 acres of woodland and prairie, Ravenheart is just 10 minutes from Duck Mountain Provincial Park, making it an ideal retreat for reconnecting with nature, horses, and yourself. What We Offer

At Ravenheart, we partner with horses to support individuals, families, and groups in developing self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being. Our programs include:

✅ **Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) & Equine-Facilitated Wellness** – No riding involved, just meaningful, on-the-ground interactions with horses. Sessions help participants explore emotions, build confidence, and gain new perspectives in a supportive environment.

✅ Personal & Professional Development Retreats – Experience transformative workshops such as Starstruck, The Gentle Way With Horses, The Ravenheart Way, Care for the Caregiver, The Zen of Art & Horses, and Saturdays at the Barn (for youth 9–12). Custom-designed mini-retreats are also available.

✅ **Life Coaching & Grief Support** – Whether facing personal challenges, career transitions, or grief and loss, Carol provides compassionate, trauma-informed coaching to help clients move forward. Sessions are available in person, online, or by phone.

✅ Rustic Retreat Accommodations – Stay in one of our cozy heritage log cabins, explore nature trails and wetlands, and enjoy nourishing meals while immersing yourself in the healing power of horses and nature. Horses are highly intuitive and respond to our energy, emotions, and body language. Their feedback is clear, honest, and non-judgmental, making them incredible partners in personal growth and healing. Whether you're seeking stress relief, personal insight, or simply a deeper connection to yourself, Ravenheart provides a safe, welcoming space to explore new possibilities. About Carol Marriott

No horse experience necessary – just an open heart and a willingness to explore. "It’s off the beaten track but I am sure you’ll find your way."

The horses are looking forward to welcoming the young people today. It's been a quiet Easter break and they are ready for some fun friendship. 🐴💜

To all my fellow prairie dwellers in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, and beyond who are still waiting for spring to actually arrive: if your "get up and go" has officially got up and gone, you aren’t alone. It is hard to find motivation when the wind is still biting and the ground refuses to warm up. If all you managed today was the bare basics, making sure the animals are fed and keeping yourself warm and upright on snow and ice, that is plenty. Be gentle with yourself and lean into the "cocoon" for a little while longer. The sun will eventually stay, but until then, it’s okay to just keep treading water and wait for the thaw together.

A Message of Renewal from the Horses

​At this time of year, we watch the land transition from the quiet of winter toward the first stirrings of spring. The horses remind us that renewal is not a single event, but a steady, patient process. They teach us to stand grounded in the present, even when the world feels uncertain, and to trust in the returning warmth of the sun. This weekend, we honour the universal spirit of hope and the resilience found in all living things. May we all find a moment of peace in the stillness and the strength to begin anew, just as the earth does.

​From our herd to yours, wishing you a weekend of gentle reflection and new beginnings.

Monday message from Raven

Remembering those who have gone before us
and into the realm of love beyond.

Their presence remains
in every quiet moment,
every connection,
every breath shared with the herd.

Who are you remembering today?

🖤 Raven

Hey everyone. We need your help.

We try to be as self sufficient as possible, earning rescue income or using our own funds when needed, but this winter has been a killer.

We estimated hay for the winter at more than a bale per horse per month. It’s seems our horses were very hungry over the winter. We went through 160 large round bales for 24 horses 😳 some horses being free fed and some netted and we still have a ways to go before pasture will be up.

We need to buy more hay and our funds are low. We are also looking for approx 20 more bales (no alfalfa). We’ve picked up 10 and secured another 15. So if you know of anyone selling some please let us know.

If you can donate, our email is donationsforblackbirdranch@hotmail.com

Ravenheart Farms - Awakening Hearts and supporting your well-being through the Wisdom of the Horse

Ravenheart Farms is located approximately 15 minutes north of Kamsack, Saskatchewan, Canada. Halfway between somewhere and the middle of “now-here”!

We invite you to come and experience the benefits of engaging with horses and nature through Equine-Assisted Learning. Through years of practice, Ravenheart has designed fun, powerful, safe, and meaningful ways to assist you with creating a deeper sense of calm, personal awareness, relaxation, confidence, and success. We offer individual and group sessions and provide a supportive, welcoming, safe, and caring space for all.

We offer a variety of programs, workshops, and retreats, partnering with horses through Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL), life coaching, and nature-based educational experiences. Partnering with horses can be a powerful and effective journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal development, allowing people to gain insights and awareness into unconscious patterns, and to find alternative skills to draw on when faced with difficult life challenges. A variety of fun, engaging, and reflective activities with horses are facilitated in a gentle, respectful way, for individuals, families, and groups/teams. All ages and abilities can participate, no previous horse experience is necessary and there is no riding involved. All activities happen on the ground, usually at liberty (no tack or equipment). As your personal life coach, I will support you in creating accountability for your dreams and goals, and help you identify areas in your life that are holding you back. Areas may include relationships, prosperity, career, health and spirituality, or any area you would like to focus on. Coaching sessions available by phone, Skype, email and in person at Ravenheart Farms near Kamsack, SK.
