Just thought perhaps I should put a pinned post up...
Obviously the pandemic halted my plans for hosting opportunities here on my farm. My certification course was cancelled, and it just did not come together. I had new insurance for events all lined up and everything, but also put on hold, I am interested in working with people and their horses if they are struggling with understanding their horse, training difficulties, gentling mustangs or working with hard to figure out horses like rescues. If interested feel free to message me and stay well... ❤🐎 Lori

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is.”

The reason you have a hard time trusting your intuition is because you are still convinced that some outside authority knows better than you.

I hope anybody that is still following this page is healthy and safe!
Hang in there with me.... I still look forward to sharing my horses with all of you soon!

I've been lucky enough to get a working student position with a clinician who teaches dressage and a unique form of horsemanship that is helping me to further develop my training skills, with all my horses.

My beautiful Mustang mare Adrija is coming along so nicely, we are really stepping up our game and taking her to the next level. She's something special indeed and I'm privileged to have an expert guide us, he travels around the world and has recently ridden in Spain and Portugal in the most elite of the equestrian dressage world. I'm having the time of my life and I encourage anybody who needs something to fill their time to look to one of your mentors and offer to exchange services for their knowledge and expertise, you will both have a wonderful experience for it!

“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.

We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.”

If anyone has children that could benefit from an EFL session, or even just have a learning experience with horses - I'd be willing to add extra time to their stay at no cost or maybe help with transportation to accommodate working parents! The best age range for what we do here is 12 and up, but I could make exceptions. I have time to host an extended visit, at least most days of the week through March. Might be a fun and rewarding opportunity for kids that are otherwise busy with school and sports! I also have a big meeting room I can get ready that we could use in case the weather is bad.

The Body Scan Technique - a Sensory Experience to bring about Mindfulness.

This is one of the most simple yet profound ways to bring self awareness to light. By checking in on what we are feeling in our bodies, we become aware of what is happening in our minds. I have some simple techniques that once practiced a few times, are easy to recall and utilize in our day to day lives, during those times when our minds are likely to be filled with chatter and stress starts creeping in.
For example, anxiety is a feeling - yet doesn't if feel similar to excitement? What is the difference? It is all just energy......

In one session, you can learn this foundational tool and practice putting it to use.
Horses are very aware of our "state" and will reflect this with their body language. Once we have "checked in" they can feel relaxed knowing we are operating from our true selves - as they always are and know no other state of being.

I just finished putting a timeline with pictures for the adoption and gentling process for one of my mustangs on my website. I'd love for you all to see! I"ll be starting programs for anyone looking to learn to gentle Mustangs. Also as a Mustang Heritage Foundation TIP trainer I will have gentled Mustangs for adoption for $125.00 Watch our journey here!!
