The Diamond Sparkles of Fall

Posted by: | Comments Comments Off

There are certain things in the world that fill me with peace and restore me on a cellular level, the deepest part of my being. The first, of course, is horses. The ocean, in any state of expression awes me. And last but not least, aspen trees, yellow from the cool autumn nights, elevate me to a new vibration. You can imagine the joy and deep gratitude I feel when I get to experience two of my favorite things at the same time!

Last weekend I was gifted with that. For two days I rode horses through the golden sparkling aspens in the high mountains of Colorado. The afternoon sun soaked through the leaves, filtering golden light onto 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→

Interspecies Comfort

Interspecies Comfort
Sunday I took this photo on my way home from driving the horses in the mountains. I glanced to my right just in time to see it and had to turn around to get the photo. The two stood together while I snapped away with my camera. The donkey slowly lower his head to eat his food, keeping the cat balanced and snug on his back. He even took a few steps around the paddock! My heart was so touched by this interspecies friendship. (The cat is curled up on the back of an elder mini donkey.) How sweet!

The winter has provided me time to focus on my horses. Sylvie and I are taking dressage lessons. She is a powerful young spirit and is eager to learn and understand. Her body is filling out nicely for her four years of age. When our hearts sync together Read More→
