As the next Heartful Horse Workshop approaches on Sunday, July 26, I reflect on the two that we've given so far. We added another to the schedule but last Sunday's workshop was rained out, unfortunately.

Mostly, it's just the gift of being around them and sharing that space with like-hearted people who want to know more about horses. And that's a good thing to share!

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.
