Healing Connections

Horses have an amazing ability to sense our feelings and wrap around us when we are sad.

Have you had a recent or not-so-recent loss event in your life that you just can’t let go of? Are you brokenhearted? Are you feeling the weight down? Are you tired of change?  Do you think that one more loss will be too much? 

“Image we all start life with an empty backpack.  Life changes as children.  We move to a new house, we lose a pet, siblings come and go, and we don’t get on a sports team.  Each emotional event is like a rock we put into the backpacks we carry with us.  As we get older the backpack gets heavier and heavier until we are weighed down with our load. Then one more loss happens and we are heartbroken.”

Come to learn how to lighten your load. To find healing for your broken heart.  In a safe environment, partner with a horse and learn how to unpack your backpack and release the emotions that are weighing you down.

Trails of The Heart

For anyone who desires change in their lives.  Life is a journey and how we travel through life, and the paths we take, are choices each of us must make for ourselves.  Are you wanting to build deeper relationships with others?  Are you ready to move through barriers to discover who you were made to be?  

Communication between a horse and a person has been shown to bring about change.  Horses can reach deep inside a person and touch on parts of their life that need attention.  Just connecting with the horse can help you realize where changes need to be made, where healing needs to take place, and where life resolutions need to happen.
