Love 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.

One woman who has struggled with cancer almost all of her life decided, after experiencing the round pen sessions with horses, that for the first time in her life she felt she truly wanted to live.

What Horses Teach Humans About Heart Based Communications

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→
