Friday, April 5, 2018 I have been very interested in love for at least a year… what does love require… what does walking in love cost (it always costs something)… how do we take and give love to others and how do we love like the other (horse, human, dog etc) needs and not justContinue reading “Love is patient.”

Failure?
Sunday, March 11, 2018 I recently had coffee with a friend who also studies the Simple Equine Teaching (SET) method where we commiserated briefly on how we sometimes feel like failures with our horses. She had a few stories of horses questioning her leadership that sounded to me like she worked through pretty nicely. IContinue reading “Failure?”
Florida
Saturday, February 24, 2018 I’ve been on a tour de FLA this week and horses have been the thread linking the 3 legs of the trip. It began on the East coast catching up with dear friends Laurie, Sarah and Madison. Laurie owns the property in VA my horses currently live on and through herContinue reading “Florida”
Look… no hands?
Thursday, February 8, 2018 I’m grateful to have been able to find a day or two here and there for some regular riding each week in between freezing rain howling wind and snowstorms. We ended up with more snow accumulation than anticipated Sunday then beautiful sunny and mild Monday with the bonus of closed schoolsContinue reading “Look… no hands?”
What I really want.
Monday, January 29, 2018 I’m at an odd sort of place where I could share a million little details of every barn visit… but then at the end I almost have nothing at all specific to say. While I’m in the moment there are a ton of things going on… little conversations… things I’m learningContinue reading “What I really want.”
What would love require?
Monday, January 15, 2018 I heard something recently that made me pause. wait… I’ll take a step back and fill on the context surrounding New Years resolutions. Most often people look for ways to improve themselves in the new year, but this talk I heard asked a different question: what will you do to makeContinue reading “What would love require?”
Getting back out
Thursday, January 11, 2017 I’m grateful that the ‘snow day’ closing this week came on a day that turned out beautiful in the afternoon. And finally after weeks of bitter cold I got back out on into the Great Arena of the woods and had a really stunning ride. I am trying a new padContinue reading “Getting back out”
Experiments in action
Monday, December 18, 2017 For those of you who have questioned my sanity lately you’re not alone. There have been times I’ve wondered if I’m on the right track myself. I did not end up on a solo ride Friday. I found two mares a little stir crazy with the cold wind and spent moreContinue reading “Experiments in action”
Rock & Roll
Friday, December 15, 2017 It’s been about two weeks since I committed to getting into my horse’s world and I’ve spent at least some time with them almost every day. I felt pretty certain I would not ride again until I noticed a shift– at least some change in how my horse related to me.Continue reading “Rock & Roll”
My herd!
Wednesday, December 13, 2017 There have been so many cool things going on in my field lately I’m having a hard time keeping up sharing the highlights! I am so glad I made the decision to purposefully take the time to enter their world as it’s been interesting- and in many ways I’ve enjoyed itContinue reading “My herd!”
