The Gentle Reflection Horsemanship

06/05/2026

Today, after watching Oats and Latte play joyfully in the arena, I felt a spark of inspiration to start cleaning the stalls. As I stepped out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the two of them had decided to follow me, walking alongside from one end of the arena to the other, eventually reaching the big step-up block designed for the horses.

They had been having so much fun, running and playing, that I honestly didn’t think they would notice my presence. Yet, somehow, they did. Perhaps it was the intent in my heart to let them be free while I tidied up that drew them closer. Whatever the reason, they slowly made their way to me, curious and eager.

When we reached the big block, I pointed to it and invited Latte to step up, with no lead or halter to guide her. To my delight, she took that leap of faith and climbed up! I showered her with scratches, which she relished, while Oats watched a few steps back. After a moment, I asked her to step down, and she clumsily hopped off and wandered away.

Then it was Oats’ turn. As he stepped up, Latte, feeling a little possessive, pinned her ears at him. I gently reminded her to step back, and moving her away, and I then invited Oats again. To my amazement, he stepped up with confidence, standing tall and proud. I praised him endlessly, and soon, Latte returned, seeking affection once more.

As I scratched Latte, Oats remained on the block, and when I told him he could come down, he gracefully followed my cue and moved closer, watching as I pampered Latte with love.

In that moment, my heart overflowed with gratitude for these magical encounters. It’s moments like these that truly take my breath away and remind me of the incredible bond we share with horses. Earlier that morning, I had captured a snapshot of Oats on the block, telling him he was a good boy from afar. Though I didn’t have my phone with me during the cleaning, the memories we created together are forever etched in my heart. ❤️🐴

I'm excited to share that I’ve made the decision to embark on a six-month healing journey for myself. Since my car accident at the end of October last year, I’ve been feeling profoundly stuck, grappling not just with physical pain but with the emotional weight it has carried. It’s been an eye-opening experience, revealing just how deeply an accident can impact our mental and emotional well-being.

When I discovered this healing course, something resonated within me—it felt like a sign that this was meant for me. For the next six months, I will be dedicating my time and energy to nurturing my own well-being. As a result, I will be stepping back from offering moon circles and pausing my equine facilitated wellness business for now.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, I have learned that sometimes we need to take a step back and focus on our own healing before we are able to fully support others.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has joined me since last August and for your understanding as I take this necessary time to heal. Your support means the world to me, and I look forward to returning even stronger and more inspired to help others on their journeys. Thank you for being a part of my community.

Life often brings us lessons cloaked in unexpected packages, reminding us of the adage that what we focus on becomes our reality. We’ve heard it time and again: our thoughts shape our existence; our desires find their way to us. Yet, when these gifts arrive in ways we least expect, it prompts us to reflect deeply on our intentions.

For so long, I’ve been reaching out for assistance to confront my fears and heal childhood traumas that shadow my daily life. And when the universe finally responds, I find myself wanting to retreat rather than embrace it.

Let me share my journey. Last year, I set out in search of my dream horse—a companion for life. Then, like a beautiful gift from the universe, Latte appeared. She embodies the spirit of the Spanish Mustang, a breed I have admired for so long. I manifested my desire, but as I began the search anew this year, I realized I had not fully clarified what I was seeking.

In my heart, I called out for help to break free from the patterns that have kept me stagnant. I envisioned a rideable horse, which I found in Oats. However, he has brought forward all the anxiety and fears I struggle with—those impulses to give up before truly beginning.

Yet, this time, I choose to face it. I choose to journey through the discomfort and embrace the lessons that Oats is teaching me. I recognize that to free myself from the chains of fear that have held me back for too long, I must push through the challenging moments. By confronting the “ugly,” I lay the groundwork for transformation and growth.

Together with Oats, I am learning to rise above my fears, reclaiming the courage that resides within me. It’s a journey toward liberation, reminding me that sometimes, the path to healing lies in facing our deepest anxiweties head-on.

Today was an emotional day as I took Oats in for his check-up. He had his teeth floated, his sensitive areas cleaned, and his eyes examined, along with a deep concern for the dry skin rash that’s been troubling him under his belly. I felt prepared for all of this, but when we stepped out to see him with the vet, my heart sank. One side of his face looked scratched, and as I moved closer, I saw a deep dent beneath his eye.

It broke my heart to learn that he had fractured his face. I can’t shake the thought that he may have reacted to something in his paddock, hitting himself hard against the wooden box in an attempt to escape whatever scared him. I understand that accidents happen and life can throw unexpected challenges our way. Still, it fills me with sadness to know that he has to endure yet another burden. He doesn’t deserve any more struggles on his plate.

All I can do is give him pain meds and support him with healing energy for a quick recovery as there is not much you can do the vet said but give it 3 months to heal.🐴

While witnessing Oats, during a healing session today, was truly beautiful experience. The tranquility in the air is palpable, as the gentle energy flows between Oats and my friend, who is deeply attuned to his needs.

Oats, even thou filled with fear and anticipation, now stands relaxed and open, his body language speaking volumes about his receptiveness. His soft eyes seem to reflect gratitude, and you can sense him letting go of tension as he allows the healing energy to wash over him. It’s fascinating how, in this stillness, he embodies the idea that healing doesn’t have to be dramatic to be effective—sometimes, the most profound changes happen quietly and subtly.

The beauty of this moment lies in its simplicity. Observing Oats responding gently, with a slight lowering of his head and a softening of his muscles. Each breath he takes seems slower and deeper, indicating a shift into a peaceful state. It’s a reminder that sometimes, less truly is more. The powerful connection forged in these quiet moments can lead to deep healing that resonates far beyond the session itself.

The energy work unfolds with grace, demonstrating that healing is about presence and intention rather than force. It reflects the deep wisdom of horses, who naturally understand the subtleties of energy and emotion. Watching Oats embrace this healing reinforces the idea that true beauty exists in the gentlest of interactions, leaving you with a sense of peace and appreciation for both the horse and the healing journey.

I stand at the edge, ready to leap into the depths of my true self. But, oh, the fear of the unknown can be overwhelming! Do you ever wrestle with that feeling? We often find ourselves nestled in the comfort of our routines, even as a whisper inside tells us there’s more waiting for us just beyond our fears—a life bursting with potential.

It’s easy to hesitate, to cling to the familiar while our dreams call us into the vast expanse of possibility. Yet, every day I remind myself: progress is made step by step. Each small effort is a triumph, and each leap of faith is a declaration that we believe in ourselves and our journey.

So here I am, embracing the fear, knowing it’s simply a part of this beautiful process. I’m choosing to trust that something amazing awaits on the other side. Yes, I feel terrified, but I also feel alive! Let’s take that leap together and discover the incredible power we hold within. We’ve got this—one courageous step at a time!

Sugar is a radiant beacon of wisdom, her light illuminating our paths from afar. Last night, she embraced us with her warm presence, creating a safe space where love flourished within our circle. The energy was vibrant and uplifting, yet her gentle spirit reminded us to remain grounded as we continue to move forward. Her love enveloped us, inspiring strength and connection, encouraging us to embrace each step with courage and hope.

What a truly breathtaking morning! As we embrace the new year of the horse, I felt compelled to start this journey with intention. My first step was to rename my practice to The Gentle Refection Horsemanship—a name that is more inline with what I truly want to bring here, as I am now ready to embrace a deeper purpose: fostering inner work not just for horses, but for people too!

Horses have an incredible way of reflecting our inner selves, and through the art of horsemanship, we engage in a beautiful dance that allows us to explore our own flow. I am filled with excitement for this new year and all the opportunities it brings! Today, I am deeply grateful for the blessings that surround me and for the journey ahead. Here’s to a year of growth, connection, and healing!
