I have so stunned by the demonstration of support by my friends, colleagues and those people who received a text from me for the first time in may years. (thanks for reading that text..:-) Every week I jump on the phone with hopeful professionals who want to dedicate their life to helping horses and humans connect.  It's one of the pleasures of my job.  I hear the excitement and possibility in their voice for all the amazing transformations that will take place in their arena. I also hear the heartbreaking stories of loss and trauma and the some stories that are hard to hear about.  It's a bit of a cliche but it's the healing hat happens when someone leans their face into the neck of the horse and they close their eyes and breathe.  Everyone of us who has spent time in a barn knows that expereince.  The horses will usually close their eyes and breath with us.  For the clients how don't have the ability to articulate their expereince, it's on their face.  It's in their first words, first steps.  Never ceases to evoke a sense of wonder and awe.  It's mind bending how little we actually know about their inner world but they seem to be on our side. That what drives me to continue and it's what brings people these life changing moments that I so desperately want to support.  Thanks to everyone who has contributed to help me reach my goal.  I am going to move the goal post a bit further out and try to reach $2000.  Let's keep the ball rolling!
