Why partner with horses? Because horses are
masters at identifying what we need at any given
moment. If we are in doubt or not clear of our
intentions, the horse can educate us on how we are
in the present moment. Horses excel as both
teacher and guide. You may wonder, how does this
happen? What is the intrinsic nature of the horse
that enables this process? The horse is a prey
animal; meaning they are constantly on alert to
maintain their physical and emotional safety. They
are sensitive to non-verbal cues and
communication and respond to what messages a
person gives them in the moment. They will
expose any incongruence you may have. These
responses offer information which can bring a new
awareness to both old and current patterns and
open the gate to change and to learn new ways of
relating to yourself and to others. Horses do not
ask why, they respond to what is presented before
their eyes. Due to their nature, they are experts at
reflecting back what human beings project through
their emotions and behaviors. Horses are a
metaphor on how we live our lives.

If you crave time for yourself, like new adventures, have a desire to be out in nature
and to meet other like minded women … we invite you to a life transforming journey with
our horses.
You are assured a safe environment as you spend time with your equine partners.
Through your interactions with the horses you will experience both a sense of
empowerment and a greater sense of self-awareness. They will aid you in
understanding how your own behaviors, reactions and limiting beliefs have prevented
you from living in harmony with those who you love, work with and interact with each and
every day. No experience with horses is necessary!

Equine Retreats for Women
Schneider and her three horses. It was
a pivotal experience. I have been
dealing with feelings of loss, anxiety
and depression. I knew a lot about my
situation, but I was still stuck and it was
really painful. I am a good talker and
thinker. I can talk and think my way into
and out of any number of situations,
but I didn't seem to be able to talk or
think my way out of this one. With the
help of Judy's compassion and innate
wisdom of the horses, their gut feelings
and reflection, I came to know myself
better and best of all, to accept my
feelings. The result? Hope. By the time
I left Healing Through Horses, I had
made some genuine shifts in my
thinking, true; but even more important,
the way I felt had shifted. I felt heard
and I felt hope."

"I have been a horsewoman all of my life and have always shared a very special connection with level.
Jack and I spent some great time together walking and learning. Jack looked through my eyes and
knew what was happening in my soul. He understood me and I felt him. We shared some wonderful
memories of a much cherished mare that has since passed on. Jack reminded me to keep walking,
whatever answers I need I will find if I just keep walking. He nudged me and we walked through the
tears of sorrow and, most wonderfully, through the great moments with my mare. We also walked
through some reminders that I needed to be nudged about. My self worth, where I fit in the universe
and the love I have to share. I will be forever grateful for the experience and love that I felt. Each
morning I look at the braided strand of Jack's tail and know that I am very blessed and very grateful.
Thank you Jack, Judy and Wayne."
