Equine Learning Programs - Longmont, ColoradoThrough the deep darkness and the stillest part of the night, the roar of the heavy metal wheels rolled along the tracks. The train’s whistle sent a jolt through my slumbering body. A pack of coyotes fired up and let loose their screams and yips, multiplying in numbers by their mere sounds. Everything came thundering into my consciousness and cracked the seal around my deep, dark sleep. Images of a dark colored horse breaking through a fence jarred me into a panic. Where am I? What is happening? Where are my horses? Read More→

Coaching With Horses Has a New Home

… Longmont, Colorado!

Kathy Pike, Longmont, ColoradoI have some very big news to share with you.  This past week has opened a door to an amazing opportunity, and I have found a farm in Longmont, Colorado that I believe will be a perfect setting for the EFLC work and the Coaching With Horses herd. I am so excited I can barely stand it! The horses have arrived as well, and came in nicely.  My soul is sad to leave the Carbondale area and all of the people and horses that I have grown to love there.  I had not anticipated leaving my community, however I have dropped right into another community where I have many friends.  Two of my co-facilitators live very close by.

Our new facility boasts amazing views, Read More→

Kathy riding at 12Love and Celebrate Yourself – (A Personal Note from Kathy)
When I was in second grade I wanted to write a book. I remember taking a stack of paper and folding it in half. I decorated the cover with a great title and hand drawn images. The inside pages I wrote my message. I remember holding it up with such excitement and pride.

Now, as an adult I have written a book (three books, actually). In addition my latest book Hope . . .from the Heart of Horses is now available in Dutch!

During the process of achieving my childhood desire, I have lost my youthful glee and joy of the creative process. I have not been looking at my books with pride and happiness. Instead, I have been caught up in all of the many details of marketing the books, building a business and caring for my animals.

This all changed last week. Read More→

Make Each Day Brighter: Live in the Question

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off

I have always viewed horses to be experts in teaching humans how to be present. Horses are naturally embodied in mind, energy and spirit. They live and digest what is happening in the moment.

Kathy Pike - Make Each Day BrighterWe humans routinely step out of the present moment and skip to the past or future with our thinking, thoughts and agendas. We routinely form opinions, points of view, judge others as right or wrong, decide what is best for others, and think we have the answers. The flow of possibility stops when we define events or categorize people, places and things. Pure consciousness does not participate in the above behaviors.

A wonderful practice to increase consciousness is living in the question (verses the answer). What does this mean? Read More→
