Creating Heart to Horse Connection

My affinity to horses goes back to when I galloped around the backyard being a horse. Later, in my teens, I rode occasionally at a stable but never actually learned to ride. Then in 2008, I hosted an Epona workshop with Helen Russell and that changed my life. In a personal-development session, I re-united with that inner child and galloped with a horse name Sienna. Once we stopped in front of the other group members, Sienna kissed me! (Picture proof on page "About Us") It remains the most ecstatic experiences of my life! After that experience, a friend introduced me to Dorothea Trip and Chilly Night Farm where I met Can Do; she was then a 26-year old mare who was gentle and kind and her patience with me has been boundless. Earlier this April, Can Do passed on to greener pastures to meet her recently departed pasture pal, Thunder. It is because of my relationship with Can Do that I believed that there must be other horses who needed company and other humans that want to connect their heart to a horse. |
