While I had Madison Morgan Photography here for our ISR/Oldenburg inspection we took the opportunity to do a photo shoot with our three year old Basanti NDSH (Bingotti/Rubignon/Contucci)

On August 5 we hosted an inspection for the ISR/Oldenburg N.A. with Helmut Schrant judging. Our intention was to provide support for the local breeders, it was a quiet, fun, peaceful event and I am glad we made the decision to hold the event.

We thank all the participants and wish them all the best with their mares and foals.

Pictures are out from the June 7th WENC Summer Solstice show, it was the first time Lynda Ovaert’s Ejecutor DG and I did a Working EQ show and you can see from the pictures that we both had a blast. EJ is available, the judge commented more than once that he has a great future in the sport for those of you that are interested in working equitation.

Why are horses a release for people?

Horses are a release for people because they strip life back to its simplest, most honest form.
In a world full of noise, emails, deadlines, expectations, horses remind us that real communication isn’t about words. It’s about presence. It’s about energy, intention, awareness.

When you’re with a horse, your words mean nothing, but your actions, your body language, your energy? That’s everything. You can’t fake confidence with a horse. You can’t lie with your posture. You can’t manipulate with charm or excuses. Horses reflect back exactly who you are in that moment, your fear, your calm, your frustration, your peace.

That’s why working with horses is 90% self-reflection. They force you to get quiet. To slow down. To pay attention not only to them, but to yourself. Your breathing, your posture, your thoughts. They draw you out of your head and into your body, into the present.

It takes us back to a time when survival, connection, and trust weren’t built on promises or conversations. They were built on consistency, energy, and respect. Horses remind us how to just be, without the layers of complication life piles on.

That’s why so many people find healing with them. They don’t care about your job, your past, your social status. They care about your energy in this moment, and nothing feels more freeing than being seen for your truest self, without judgment, without words.
