I’ve been thinking lately about how much horses teach us without ever saying a word. Every session feels like a mirror showing us patience, presence, timing, and the energy we bring into the space. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that progress with a horse often comes from slowing down, not speeding up. When I focus less on “getting it right” and more on building trust, everything just flows better. I’d love to hear from the community: What’s one thing a horse has taught you that surprised you? Grateful to be part of a group where everyone is growing, learning, and connecting both with each other and with these incredible animals. 🐎✨

This one of my favorite weanlings I’ve owned. She was very skittish when we got her and this was maybe the second time she’d been allowed to “run around” lol but as you can see she thought she was an Arab🤣

Make sure you let them know to keep scratching 🤣

For the past two Fridays we’ve had the pleasure of working with groups of people experiencing social exclusion. The topic of barriers came up and the groups had no problem creating physical representations of what that meant to them. The horses then taught them some very important lessons. Barriers don’t have to stay as big as they first appear. They can be broken down into bite sized pieces that can be overcome - one step at a time. If you keep your eye on where you want to go go, and keep moving forward one step at a time, you’ll get there. Allowing yourself permission to receive the support you need - and then giving yourself that support first - gets you over the barriers.

Curious how the herpes outbreak has affected members of the group I’ve been seeing a lot of post on social media and wondering others thoughts on the subject
