🌟 Meet Tinsley, one of the first recipients of the Wabi Sabi Farms Scholarship in partnership with April Austin ! 🌟

Tinsley has officially started her horsemanship journey — learning the basics of horse care, building trust with our amazing horses, and stepping into the saddle for her first riding lessons!
Tinsley’s curiosity, compassion, and willingness to learn shine through every time she’s at the farm. From grooming and leading, to her first rides, she’s embracing every moment with heart and determination.

We are so proud to watch Tinsley grow in confidence and connection with our equine partners. This is just the beginning of an incredible journey, and we’re honored to be part of it!

Way to go, Tinsley! We can’t wait to see where this adventure takes you.

Going back to the basics is always beneficial! April and her team sure do know how to have fun, even when they are learning!

It’s one of our greatest responsibilities as parents — to keep our children safe. But just as important? Not standing in the way of their wings. 💫

One summer afternoon at the barn, Chloe and I were tackling chores together when she asked if she could pull down the hay bale for the day. The hay stack? Let’s just say it’s no small feat—bales in rows stacked high to the ceiling, and it takes real strength and careful planning to bring one down.

My instinct jumped in first: “It’s too heavy, I’ll get it.” (Cue that ever-looming to-do list whispering, just do it quickly and by myself.)

But then she looked up at me with calm confidence and said, ✨“GG, may I at least try?”✨

That stopped me and I felf myself gasp. What message would I send if I said no—not out of safety, but out of doubt?

So I stepped back and watched her do what she already knew she could. She had a plan. She picked her bale. She moved with strength and clarity. And with a few well-placed pushes, it landed gently—right where we needed it.

That moment reminded me: my job isn’t just to protect her—it’s to trust her. To let her try.

I will always keep her safe. But I will never be the reason she doubts her own strength. 💛

✨ Healing in Partnership with Horses ✨🐴
Yesterday, we had the absolute honor of hosting the Enzo Zen team for an equine-assisted team-building experience at Wabi Sabi.

As a group of dedicated pranic healers who hold space for others every day, witnessing them step into a different kind of healing space—one guided by our equine partners—was truly incredible. 💙

Horses have a way of reflecting our energy, inviting presence, and offering insights beyond words. Seeing this team connect, receive, and experience the wisdom of these magnificent beings was nothing short of magical. 🐎

Thank you, Enzo Zen, for your openness, your presence, and the incredible work you do in the world. We are so grateful to have shared this experience with you!

✨ My Horse is My Greatest Teacher✨
Shortly after Kali joined our family, she started teaching me lessons. Big ones. The kind that gently tap you on the shoulder at first… and when you ignore them, they get LOUD. When Kali came into my life, I had just left the corporate world—the land of Outlook calendars, deadlines, and endless to-do lists. And although my career had shifted, I hadn’t. I was still showing up to the barn with my checklist mindset, powering through MY agenda without stopping to notice what was happening around me… or with her. Kali noticed. It didn’t take long before she started asking me to slow down. Not with words—but with her energy. She would get anxious, unsettled, mirroring the chaos I was carrying inside. And finally, I realized: She wasn’t the anxious one. I was. She taught me to take a breath before I even walked into the barn. To pause and leave the weight of the day at the door. And when I did, something beautiful happened—our relationship shifted. Kali’s calm demeanor began to shine again. She met me where I was, but only after I stopped trying to control everything and learned to simply be with her. But the lessons didn’t stop there. Kali has been relentless (and patient) in showing me the truth about myself: I’ve spent a lifetime chasing perfection, afraid to ask for help, carrying the weight of others’ expectations instead of living from my authentic self. Recently, when life started to feel overwhelming, I caught myself slipping into old patterns. I spent weeks mentally creating contingency plans about what I’d do if I got sick or injured—trying to control what I couldn’t control. And Kali very loudly reminded me again: That’s not how we thrive. Instead, she asks me to look inward, slow down, and recognize when I need to ask for support, take care of myself, and choose peace over pressure and most of all BE ME. She’s not just a horse. She’s a mirror, a healer, and the best teacher I never knew I needed. If you’re moving too fast, maybe this is your reminder too—take a breath. Pause. You’ll be amazed at what’s waiting for you when you do. 🐴💛

It’s Not All Rosie – Tackling the Mud!

When you change the use of a farm, you also change the way the land has settled. At Wabi Sabi, we expanded to welcome four additional horses, doubling our boarding capacity. Sounds great, right? Well, with that growth came an unavoidable reality of farm life in the Pacific Northwest—MUD.

With all the rain we get, a mud-free equestrian property is basically nirvana. Every time a horse pivots and turns, they create tiny pockets in the ground—perfect little traps for water to collect. And before you know it? A million tiny puddles that just won’t drain.

For the past five months, I’ve been on an unrelenting mission to reclaim our farm from the mud. I’ve trenched countless water runways, creating drainage paths so the water has somewhere to go. I’ve already worn through one pair of muck boots (RIP) and am well on my way to destroying my second pair. It’s frustrating and can be exhausting. And on those especially rainy days, it feels like I’m living in a never-ending loop of Groundhog Day: The Mud Edition. However, there’s light at the end of this very muddy tunnel!

We kicked off a project that we lovingly call Mud Control 2025. We hired a team of experts to excavated the problem areas, hauled the mud to a property being restored as a natural wetland (yes, really!), laid commercial-grade heavy fabric, and topped it with six inches of gravel. Over time, we’ll expand this project to build additional pathways to each pasture, making life easier for both our horses and humans.

Farm life isn’t always picture-perfect, but with some determination (and a lot of gravel), we’re making Wabi Sabi better for everyone—one boot-sucking puddle at a time! 🐴💪

Announcing the First Recipient of the Wabi Sabi Farms Scholarship Fund: Tinsley!

We are beyond thrilled to introduce Tinsley as the first-ever recipient of the Wabi Sabi Farms Scholarship Fund! 🌟

Tinsley’s heartfelt application stood out to us with her curiosity and deep desire to learn about horses—not just how to ride, but how to understand their unique personalities, care for them, and experience their incredible ability to connect and heal. Her beautiful words about horses being “magical, powerful, and healing” perfectly capture the spirit of what we hope to share through this scholarship.

In her own words, Tinsley expressed how this opportunity would not be possible without the scholarship, and how she looks forward to discovering life lessons from our equine partners. Her excitement to learn, grow, and connect with the horses embodies everything Wabi Sabi Farms stands for.

With the support of this scholarship and in partnership with Perpetual Motion Training, Tinsley will embark on a journey of riding lessons, hands-on horse care, and mentorship from our Wabi Sabi community. We are so honored to welcome her to the farm family and can’t wait to see how this experience inspires her along the way.
Congratulations, Tinsley! 🎉🐴💕

Sometimes losing what defines you is exactly what it takes to find your true self.

I devoted 30 years to the corporate world, holding various roles in finance and cash management. I loved strategizing new business ideas and sitting across the table from some incredibly smart clients and colleagues. But while my brain was doing backflips, my heart was sitting on the sidelines, sipping coffee, and wondering, "Is this all there is?"

After decades of climbing the corporate ladder, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing. Then, in the spring of 2023, my role was eliminated. I was devastated. My career had been a major part of my identity — and in one corporate-sized puff of smoke — gone. Just like that.

Let the soul searching begin. I knew I wanted to help others in corporate find balance, strength, and hold their truth in the workplace. I also knew it was time to finally give in to the undeniable gravitational pull I’d always felt toward horses.

By a twist of fate (or maybe the universe finally saying "About time, Gina!"), I learned about Equine Assisted Learning through a local connection (more on that soon!). This work partners humans with horses to help develop mindfulness, clarity, and authenticity. The moment I discovered it, I knew — this was it.

With the unwavering support of my husband, Oscar, and our kids, I dove headfirst into pursuing my certification with E3A (Equine Experiential Education Association). We purchased a farm — now home to eight incredible horses — and built a space where this dream could take shape.

Spring of 2023 knocked me down hard — but like any good comeback story, I got back up (with some hay in my hair). Now, I'm living my truth — and for that, I am grateful beyond measure.

Stick around to hear more about this wild journey — and how the horses are teaching me more about life than any boardroom ever did. 🐴✨
