HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
Leave The Gate Open For International Women’s Day I am highly recommending the book Warrior Women, An Archaeologist’s Search for History’s Hidden Heroines, written by Jeannine Davis-Kimball, Ph.D. Ms. Davis-Kimball is an archaeologist who helped excavate burial mounds called kurgans in Southern Russia. In her discoveries she began to understand that many of the mummified bodies […]
NEW BEGINNINGS
LISTENING TO BELONGING As you know, we have had to put our hands-on learning courses on hold until we can all be safe until the pandemic is under control. Many of you have expressed frustration over the fact that we cannot hold hands-on learning classes at this time due to the overwhelming virus. Believe me […]
Baby Birds
I brought my horse, Leo, with me to Colorado this year. I needed the company while teaching my six week equine massage class. I enjoy spending evening time with him after a day of teaching. As soon as we arrived at our barn where he would stay in west Loveland, we unloaded Leo and settled […]
For The Love For Horses
I step outside from my work a day, more than once and often it is four or five times a day. I need a horse fix in the middle of work. I walk to my horses with my three dogs in tow so that I can visit with all of them, give them a flake […]
The Massage You Need
This morning I was reminded of a saying my first massage teacher used to say about bumping into things and leaving bruises or stubbing toes. She would say, “you always get the massage you need!” I used to laugh whenever she would say that. This morning I was out for a ride on my horse that […]
Hands
On the first day of class I like to ask my students to study their hands in silence for a few minutes … yes a few minutes, in silence … not to give just a passing glance at them but to see them for what power lies within them. It is easy to think, “yes, […]
The Perfect Ride
The Perfect Ride Think about the times you just stepped out of the saddle all invigorated and thought, I just had the most perfect ride on my horse today. It was amazing, like the two of us were one! All I had to do was think it and my horse was right there with me. […]
SCENT OF A HORSE
The scent of a horse is holy to an equestrian, a spiritual mantra, and a koan for living. We can go for a few days without that bouquet in our noses but that is pushing our limits. When things get rough we hightail it for the paddocks to replenish our fragrance of horse. It is […]
First Ride
Enchanted I was by that family of wild horses. On four legs they were swift and agile. Their quick gentle spirits awakened a lounging deep within my soul. Quietly I asked the beautiful golden mare for a favor. She agreed. Straddling her warm curving back I slipped seamlessly into her form. Weaving my fingers […]
Quiet
Kafka: Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen simply wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. This was read […]
