Power of the Moment

We  live  in  a  disconnected  world.  Horses  call  us into relationship exposing our fears and insecurities. The  immediacy of this experience is  where we can examine the relationship we have with ourselves  and others. It is in this connection where our brokenness is mended,  and where we learn boundaries, and responsibility.

Horse Sense for the Human Heart

People  like  to  make things complicated.  We live in fantasy of the future or ruminate about the past.

Horses  keep  it  simple. They  mirror.  They  test.  They  call us  to  lead  or  to  follow. They reveal the   nonsense  of  our  thoughts and invite us  to  hear  the  longings  of  our  hearts.

Laying the Groundwork

Horse Play is based on groundwork, not riding.  It  is designed to create a foundation  of  respect,  relationship,  increased  awareness,  assertiveness, and  creative  problem  solving while developing a greater sense of self and self esteem.
