Welcome to Ren Restorative by Carbon Cowgirl™
Equine Guided Learning with the Ren Restorative Herd
Ren Restorative by Carbon Cowgirl was born out of passion and excitement for ancient wisdom practices interwoven with the evolution of human and horse. Going forward, we believe that partnership with equines will be prioritized on the ground, side by side, moving together in co-regulation to return to a state of remembering who we are beneath the noise and fast-paced disconnect of today's world.
Equine-guided learning is a ground-based practice where the horse becomes a partner in awareness.
Through simple, guided interactions, the horse reflects:
- your nervous system state
- your boundaries
- your patterns of connection
Not through force—but through presence.
Each session is unique, but may include:
- Grounding and arrival
- Meeting the horse in the pasture
- Guided interaction or observation
- Reflection and integration
There is no riding.
There is no performance.
Only relationship.
This work is for you if you are:
- Navigating change or transition
- Processing grief or emotional weight
- Feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed
- Seeking a deeper relationship with yourself
- Curious about working with horses in a non-riding way
My Approach:
- Consent-based and horse-led
- Nervous system aware
- Trauma-informed
- Rooted in respect for both human and horse
The horse is not a tool.
They are a participant.
They are the Oracle.

This is experiential, relational work—supporting nervous system regulation, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself.
Offered on Vashon Island.
Pasture Transmission Sessions (Virtual):
You don’t need to be physically present to receive from the horses. This offering is for when you feel stuck, unclear, or at a threshold, or simply when you just want to be seen clearly.
In these sessions, you bring an intention or question, and I take it into the field—observing and reflecting what the herd reveals through their behavior and presence.
Custom Sessions (In Person or Virtual):
A tailored session designed around your specific needs, intentions, and curiosities.
Custom Sessions allow us to expand beyond the standard format and incorporate additional practices such as Qigong, guided journaling, sound, storytelling, and extended time in the field with the horses.
These sessions are ideal if you’re looking for a more immersive or integrative experience, or if you feel called to explore multiple layers of this work in one container.

These offerings are about creating relationship with a horse through a heart-centered and present connection with the horses safety and autonomy held in the highest regard, always. It is a way of listening to the horse through silent body language and awareness of each other's personal and shared space.
There is no riding, however, this way of relating with equine partners is an excellent communication tool offering benefits for any of the ways you may work with your horse.
Listening to our bodies for guidance on how to be with the horse allows us to connect with the wisdom with ourselves to listen and to honor the answers we are given. By creating harmony between listening body and thinking mind we can create a spot of nervous system nourishment that initiates deep healing.
