Gillian is truly an expert at back country riding and horse/mule packing. I went to a weekend workshop with her and the value of her knowledge, her organization, and her ability to meet you where you are at is invaluable. There is no price that can be placed on her passion, care for safety, and knowledge.

★★★★★ Shelby, Jun 2024

Gillian, a rock star in the long riding community, is also a rock star at giving a workshop. I think it is safe to say that all of the participants felt welcomed and heard. The two days consisted of a day of "class" in a large tent with a projector and lots of conversation.

★★★★★ Jodi, Apr 2025

This was an excellent workshop providing a comprehensive overview on back country horse packing with a well balanced mix of hands on demonstrations, lectures, and show and tell on equipment and gear to prepare one for their own back country horse journey.

★★★★★ Mojave, May 2025

I attended this workshop with my girlfriend Emma. She loves nature and horses and wanted to learn more about long distance trail rides. Together we flew in from Kansas to attend this weekend in California. Jodi Gillian's mom is amazing. She picked us up from the airport and did so much for the group as a whole.
