2013

So excited about 2013! Lots of new and exciting changes for the coming year! More to be revealed. Have already noticed changes in the herd and human relationships. Things seem to be opening up in new and positive ways!

Snowball has been lucky enough to get two eight year old girls for Christmas. But Ben is sorely missing his best friend. Please think of Benny and send him an extra hug!

No longer patiently waiting. Walking and working with the horses. Thank you for your support during this time!

Drop in Group has been well attended with new members and seasoned members. The horses look forward to it and have settled right in to the new rhythm in the barn. Cozy having the horses right there, part of the group. Moving to Saturdays for the winter has enabled us to be outside, if is is sunny and calm.

I will be posting dates for new Day Retreats soon. Come enjoy a day in the country, with old and new friends, horse and human.

As Sigurd Olson said.. there is a new adventure coming and I know it is a good one!

We hope to see you soon.. and share an adventure! Highest and Best in the New Year! From all of us at ETE!

every saturday drop in group noon-2:00 pm

changing to drop in group to saturdays! noon to 2 p.m.  take some time out from the busy holiday season to be with ben, sweet and members of the group! changing to saturdays for the winter months, so we can enjoy the light, and be outside if weather permits, come back feeling relaxed and recharged by the wonderful energy of the horses.

september 30, a beautiful sunday afternoon, i was getting ready to take ben out for a trail ride. well, one wrong move, and i turned my foot, and later found out I fractured my 5th metatarsal. before I met dr. imatani, i didn’t even know i had a 5th metatarsal. being the determined woman i am, i still had a 3 hour trail ride on ben, and rode my harley home. it has been 7 weeks, today the dr. said 2 more weeks non weight bearing. i am hoping to walk soon. i miss being able to ride and be more active, with my horses. but, with the assistance of my faithful horse handler, pat, and some mechanical devices, i have been able to continue group, and do some individual work.

i hope your holidays are cozy and warm, spent with those you love.

come out and join us for some hot cider and group, or schedule an individual session. we also will be having a vision retreat on saturday december 29th. sign up today (before 12/10) and bring a friend for free!

 

Come Join us fo…

Come Join us for our Wednesday night drop in group. The weather has been great, and we have been having some awesome experiences with the horses. Lots of growth and insight for the participants. Sweet and Ben are enjoying the ongoing opportunity to connect with new friends. Dress warm as the nights are getting cooler. Be prepared for a peaceful getaway as the sun sets, and you can leave behind the worries of your week and enjoy being in the present moment with the horses. Call for directions, or if you have any questions.

Graduation!

 

Ashara Morris, Angie Payne and myself graduated Friday August 10th 2012 as certified Gestalt Equine Coaches! We had a great weekend at Glenn and Ashara’s in the McKenna Forest Reserve. We had our CORE weekend with fellow students from Canada, MT, TX, VI, CO, AZ, and WA. We had a great, fun weekend with lots of learning. I was so grateful to have Sweet and Ben present to work their magic with the group. Angie Payne, worked with Sweetness and the Josh Nichols Method. She has studied with Josh for 10 plus years. Sweet made great strides in a short amount of time. Thanks you to Melisa Pearce for creating and teaching this incredible and cutting edge method of partnering with horses to bring deep emotional healing to people, by working through unfinshed business, which holds us back today.
