Horses teach humans a lot about the pace of life. Life seems to be moving at the speed of light. I try to bring a grounded presence into every aspect of my daily life. However a fast paced world can often pull me out of my authentic self. Our culture is based on high-speed everything. Speed is becoming a value. The faster something can work or go the more desirable it is. The element of speed brings many good things, and it may also be taking away just as much. Read More→
What Do I Do After an Equine Learning Workshop?
Posted by: | CommentsDuring a week long Equine Facilitated Learning workshop here in Colorado, that focused on exploring one’s authenticity and emotional agility with horses, a participant asked one question several times. The question she asked was: “How do I know what to do if I don’t know my final vision?” This questioned plagued her. She felt stuck about taking any action in her life.
I suggested she listen to and take action towards the next thing that would bring her happiness. I suggested she listen to her heart and inner guidance. Each time she follows what feels best to her and takes inspired action she will naturally be able to see a more vivid picture of her passion and purpose unfolding.

I waited another few minutes and asked again, a few people offered a few words such as powerful, intense, heart warming, penetrating and big. Read More→

Corazon (aka Romeo) coliced on July 5th. After a stressful night he was taken to the vet at 10pm. The vet did everything he could to make him comfortable. When I arrived in the morning he had a temperature and was in complete distress. Once he stabilized they put him back into his tiny white stall. It was a long day. I was alone and the only thing I knew that I could do was to massage him. I massaged him on and off for six hours stopping only to take him out to walk. I had to leave him at 9:00pm. When I walked into my home the phone rang, it was the vet letting me know that he had passed some manure. I was elated. Read More→
