I am passionate about sharing the gift of horses with people in need. Horses offer so much to humans if we take the time to listen. Personally, I cannot understate the impact horses have had in my life and truly, without them, I don’t know where I’d be. They are God’s gift to humankind and we can never stop learning from them. I’ve personally witnessed the life changing moments in the arena with our herd and program. It is deeply gratifying to be part of these milestone moments in other’s lives when they are searching for answers, a thread of hope, a whisper of acknowledgment, and a nod of understanding. I’ve seen horses open people’s eyes to a level of self awareness never known before, overcoming blind spots, and opening the door to learn and reinforce positive new behaviors. The moments of unbridled sheer amazement when a client’s face lights up the arena is truly remarkable–often followed by claims that years of therapy had never lead to such “lightbulb insights.” These moments last far beyond the arena. Helping others knock down invisible walls in their lives, bring awareness, happiness, hope, and an overflowing self confidence is what fuels me to press forward in our mission in sharing the magic of horses with others in need.
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away,” Maya Angelou
To experience shared connection with a horse is to experience the opportunity to heal and grow. It is a gift from God.
