Into the Forest, I Go
“Find rest and reconnection beneath the pines.
Stay with us and experience the rhythm of Wild Pine — where the herd, the land, and the quiet call you home.”
About the Space
A Sanctuary for Slow Living
Nestled along one of Colorado's scenic Byways in the North Fork Valley, Wild Pine Equine Sanctuary is a place where the pace of life slows to the rhythm of the land. Surrounded by pines and open pasture, bordered by the North Fork River, and watched over by the quiet strength of the mountains, this is where you come to exhale.
​
Here, you’ll share the land with our rescued horses, who graze and roam peacefully nearby. The property hums with life — eagles, elk, moose, deer, and fox are frequent visitors, moving through the valley as they always have. The air carries the scent of pine and earth; the nights glow with starlight and the soft sound of the river.
​
Guests can also enjoy a riverside hot tub, communal fire pit, and private access to trails that weave through forest and pasture. Each stay supports the care of our herd and the continued restoration of the land.
Wild Pine is more than a place to rest — it’s a place to remember. To breathe, to listen, to be softened by the river and held by the mountains. Whether you’re here for stillness, connection, or adventure, you’ll find that the land meets you right where you are.
Wild Pine offers a mix of accommodations designed to meet you wherever you are in your journey — from cozy comfort to off-grid simplicity and riverside immersion.

​Riverside Glamping

The Riverbend Cottage
For those drawn to the sound of water and open air, our riverside glamping site offers a more immersive experience. Set right along the North Fork River, these canvas-style accommodations bring you closer to nature while still providing a comfortable bed, warm lighting, and cozy touches that make sleeping outdoors feel luxurious. Step outside your tent to the morning mist rising off the river — or take a cold plunge to start your day refreshed and awake.
Meet Coach Kat
Katherine started gymnastics when she was 5 and started cheering when she was 7. She began coaching gymnastics at the age of 16 and was a competitive cheerleader throughout middle school and high school. This built her path to becoming a Division 1 cheerleader at Charleston Southern University. There, she earned a CANAM national championship title and was awarded an MVP for 2010 CSU athletic awards. While in college, she continued coaching gymnastics and her own competitive team throughout, gaining vast experiences in every aspect of being both on teams and coaching them.
Poms and Ponies are both of her childhood dreams brought together. Through horses and cheer, she found how to express all sides of herself. The grit and the grace that it takes to show up whole heartedly in both of these very different worlds, offered her the ability to build this bridge for other little humans with the same sparks in their own hearts.
When asking Kat what she thinks the most valuable thing is that kids gain from the Poms and Ponies camp, she says, “I want to teach them true self empowerment, centered in love and honest support for one another. Cheerleading isn’t some exclusive club, the essence of cheerleading is the ability to LEAD. I want them to know how to do that with love in their hearts, both for themselves, and the others they are cheering for, both on the mat and on horseback.”
