To Ride or Not to Ride - The Academy for Coaching with Horses

To Ride or Not to Ride - The Academy for Coaching with Horses I have had a beautiful dirty palomino paint mare for about one year. I bought her when she was lame with high hopes that someday she would be balanced and sound enough to be a nice riding horse.

Cantering into the Sweet Nectar of Life - The Academy for Coaching with Horses

Cantering into the Sweet Nectar of Life - The Academy for Coaching with Horses :  It was a very wet spring. Daily rains kept the land more than moist, creating slop and mud, deeper than usual and too dangerous to ride or do much at all with the horses. 

The Dynamics of Connection and Separation - The Academy for Coaching with Horses

The Dynamics of Connection and Separation - The Academy for Coaching with Horses : The energy and concept of push and pull, in and out, touch and release, contact and disconnection, and all of the cycles of inner relationship dynamics were streaming through my consciousness before the April EFLC Level One program began. Now with a herd of six, including a barely trained mare with a strong matriarch drive, a once wild stallion with his drive, and four additional and more domesticated herd members, each day I observed their cohesiveness, protection and affection with one another, or sometimes their less affectionate and rather aggressive behavior toward each other.

First Cold Snow - Feel Alive! - The Academy for Coaching with Horses

First Cold Snow - Feel Alive! - The Academy for Coaching with Horses :  My fingers are already numb and painfully cold after only 10 minutes of being outside.

Hibernate to Find the Seed - The Academy for Coaching with Horses

Hibernate to Find the Seed - The Academy for Coaching with Horses : Father Winter is now fully upon us and the urge to slow down, reflect or full-on hibernate is hard to avoid. So, why shouldn’t we? We are still in the cycle of winter. Though winter solstice has passed and each day is starting to grow longer, we still don’t feel fully energized just yet. True, we may have experienced moments of great joy and socializing through the celebrations of December, but yet still feel sluggish or low energy here in early January. On these dark, January days, I watch my herd. I often go out and stand with them.

Seeing the Magic! - The Academy for Coaching with Horses

Seeing the Magic! - The Academy for Coaching with Horses Sweet magical occurrences are happening here at my ranch. Each time they do, it confirms the rightness of my path and the support I feel from all of the creatures around me (such as this hummingbird below) and spirits beyond.  Like you, the last seven months have not been easy for me. It has been the opposite. I have worked harder than ever to figure out new ways to continue contributing to expanding human consciousness. It is my purpose to reconnect people to Mother Earth and her creatures, to raise social consciousness, and create more oneness in a chaotic world […]
