The Dream That Asked Me to Share
There are moments in childhood that brand themselves into memory, not because they were extraordinary, but because they hurt. I distinctly remember the first “mean girls” in my life, twins in my 4th grade class. They egged on other students, and even the teacher got...
Change Happens in Small Bites
There’s an old saying, How do you eat an elephant? The answer is - one bite at a time. When a goal feels big or overwhelming, our job isn’t to tackle it all at once. Our job is to understand why it matters, and then choose one small step to take right now. This week,...
Honoring Different Needs in Horse-Based Work
I’ve been receiving more inquiries lately from families and professionals seeking horse-based experiences for children or individuals with developmental or behavioral disabilities. I want to take a moment to clarify an important distinction, because while many forms...
Resolutions vs Goals, and Why Vision Matters
Earlier this month, I hosted a workshop called Turn the Page. It was a space to pause, reflect, and take an honest look at the year behind us. We explored what we accomplished in 2025, what we’re ready to leave behind, what we want to carry forward, and most...

When Winter Gets Heavy
Every year, as the days get shorter and the light slips away a little earlier, something in me shifts. It’s like my internal landscape gets a little quieter, a little heavier. For a long time, winter months and darker weather have pulled me into a place I didn’t...
The Year of the Fire Horse
A post has been circulating about 2026 being the Year of the Fire Horse in Chinese astrology — written beautifully by Elle Baker — and whether you follow astrology or not, the themes it describes echo what so many people are already feeling: change, intensity,...
What Is DreamCatchers About Anyway?
I’ve known since I was about thirteen or fourteen that I was meant to help others. Even then, I could feel the emotional connection that exists between people and horses — long before I ever had the words to explain it. Horses have always been more than a tool for...
