It’s finally here. We are open. Through a series of false starts and technical hiccups, a surrendering to the process, then a loss of patience, we made it.
Rebuilt, redesigned, and better suited to meet the needs of our Saxapahaw community.

I love this because sometimes there is SO much focus on quiet, though you are safest on a horse that is tuned in, has energy and is aware of the environment.

Jojo is generally quite laid back, something I LOVE about her. It can be challenging though, to let things unfold at her pace and choosing. Over the years I’ve learned that being in support of her gives us access to more energy a lot faster..!❤️

Jojo gets to pick the pace and direction as we subtly work on her moving through her whole body, reaching her neck out, and checking in with me as we go…. I’m working on loosening my thigh and keeping my leg back, sitting lightly…

So thankful for the amazing Elaine Hayes helping me figure out how to soften and open my body, allowing me to ride a couple of lovely horses, and giving JoJo and I confidence and experience away from home. It was such a great weekend!❤️😊 And thanks to Jessica for the videos!

Helen Ingersoll has me thinking about gluteus medius. My hip flexors are pulling extra duty and creating tension l don’t want in my hips and thigh. Here’s one great exercise to strengthen it. Make sure your toe is angled down and you move your leg back and diagonally. Thanks for the super clear coaching Helen! JoJo really engaged with our work.

Shew, I know a lot of folks who are struggling with the shifts and changes the new year has rung in. I encourage you to keep finding safe places for your heart and mind. Deep breaths, kind acts, and standing strongly for what you want to see in the world.

"Shanti" is the Sanskrit word for "peace" and some days chanting that is my self compassionate act. Or maybe what I silently send to a stranger I pass in the grocery store. Or to my horses when I move through the paddocks. These small kind acts... I'm reminding myself... ♥️

Showing here in a somewhat messy video 🙄
how helpful positive reinforcement is for mundane tasks. JoJo walks up and actually asks for the tube because it is presented gently and she gets a reward afterwards.  I start this type of thing with the halter on and just introducing the tube and letting them explore it -sniff it, lick it, and then gradually it goes in the mouth and everything is done gently with their acceptance until you get to this phase -which happens pretty quickly and they will just walk up and offer to help. I do this for bridling, soaking feet, standing still on a loose line/rein; lots of things that can be really helpful and build confidence.
