Live From A Sense of Strength & Connection

Horses inspire us. They open our hearts. And enliven our souls.

They model how to connect with how we’re really feeling. They don’t judge.

Why are horses such brilliant facilitators in the work of human development? Their size alone inspires a heightened state of awareness. They are symbols of power, beauty, grace and freedom. They are social creatures whose survival depends on trust, communication and cooperation. 

These intelligent, sensitive creatures have an amazing capacity to reflect back our true emotions. In the moment we are feeling them. Offering us real feedback in real time. Horses don’t know how to pretend to be comfortable when they’re not.

Emotional intelligence teaches you that all emotions, even the darkest ones, have the power to inform and protect you as you move through the life you’ve created. “
