What you'll do
What is it about being in the presence of horses that is so settling for the human being? What is it that seems to cause our bodies, minds and spirits to heal when we spend time with them?
During this time of uncertainty, worry, fear and anxiety, we must intentionally take time to rest. These emotions can affect relationships and quality of life. Kelly offers an opportunity to reset, restore and regain a sense of peace and calm. With over 25 years experience providing safe and impactful encounters connecting horses and humans, guests will leave with a renewed sense of energy and empowerment.
Guests arrive and instantly the quiet and peace settle nerves and cause a deep breath of fresh air. Surrounded by birdsong and giant oak and elm trees, relaxation is instant. Kelly will meet the guests at the gate and each sign a wavier. Then a walk through the property brings guests to our herd of beautiful horses. An introduction is followed by a choice of partner for the experience. The horse(s) are pulled and the guests interact and groom the horses, as Kelly facilitates a deeply personal experience of reconnection to self.
Horses are 100% focused on the present. They don’t dwell in the past or worry about the future. Just being around them can help us slow down, focus and become present and attuned to ourselves and our environment, access intuition and rediscover true sel
