There are moments in the pasture that are hard to put into words.

Not big, dramatic moments.
The quieter ones.

A deep breath where there had been tension.
A softening through the body.
A little more space than there was before.

And alongside that… a horse paying attention.

Sometimes they step back.
Sometimes they wander.

And then, right when something matters, they come close.
Steady. Present.

There was a moment recently where one of the horses shifted into play.

It brought up a simple question:

When was the last time you felt that?

Nothing to figure out.
Something to notice.

This is the kind of space the pasture holds.
Nothing forced.
Nothing rushed.

Room for something real to come forward.

The Wednesday evening Spring Pasture Circle begins May 6.
Spaces are available, and registration will close May 3.

If this has you curious, you are welcome to take a closer look or reach out.

If a group setting doesn’t feel like the right fit, one-on-one sessions are available as well.

Sometimes the timing of things shifts a little…
and it creates space for something to come together in a different way.

The Wednesday evening pasture circle will now begin the first Wednesday in May.

With the later start, this circle will run as an 8-week experience, while still keeping the group small and intentional.

If this has been sitting in the back of your mind, or if this timing feels like a better fit, you’re welcome to take a closer look.

We’ll be spending time outside with the horses, stepping out of the pace for a few hours each week, and allowing space for things to unfold in their own way.

If this has been sitting in the back of your mind…

I’ll be closing registration for Spring Pasture Circles this Sunday.

I’ll be keeping the groups small so I can be present with each person who joins.

I’ll be honest… putting something like this out into the world always asks me to stretch a little.
Not because I don’t believe in the work, I do.
Because it matters… and I care about the kind of space this creates.

I’ve seen what can open up when people give themselves even a few hours to step out of the pace and into something different.

So if this has been on your mind, even in a quiet way, this is a good time to take a closer look.

One thing I’ve noticed…
when something like this catches someone’s attention, there’s often a pause that follows.

“I’m not sure what this is exactly.”
“I don’t know if it’s for me.”
“I wouldn’t even know what to say.”

You don’t need to have anything figured out before coming.

You don’t need a clear reason.
You don’t need the right words.

Most of the time, the work begins simply by showing up and allowing yourself to be in a different kind of space.

That’s what these pasture circles are.

If you’ve been feeling a bit of a pull, even if it’s quiet… that’s enough.

There’s a kind of work that doesn’t happen by thinking it through.
It happens when you step outside of the pace for a while… and give yourself space to notice what’s been sitting just under the surface.

That’s the space I’ve been creating with the horses in these Spring Pasture Circles.

No pressure to have the right words.
No expectation to share more than you want to.
It’s time outside, in a small group, where things can begin to unfold in their own way.

I’ve been reaching out to a few people personally, and I wanted to open that same door here as well.

If this has been quietly sitting in the back of your mind… you’re welcome to take a closer look.

Clarity isn’t always clean.

A clear mind. A clear direction. Everything figured out.

More often, it looks a little like this.

In-between seasons.
A bit messy.
Things shifting before they fully make sense.

Clarity doesn’t always arrive polished.
Sometimes it shows up in the middle of what’s beginning to come into view.

This is often where the work begins.

There’s a pace to rural life that often goes unspoken.

The constant thinking ahead.
The responsibility.
The seasons that don’t wait.

And somewhere in all of that…
it’s easy to lose track of yourself.

That’s part of why I created Spring Pasture Circles.

A space to step away from the pace for a few hours.
To spend time outside, with the horses.
To slow things down and notice what’s been sitting just under the surface.

No pressure.
No expectation.
A different kind of space to reconnect with yourself.

I currently have a couple spaces filled in both my morning and evening groups, and I’ll be keeping the circles small.

If this has been on your mind, you’re welcome to take a closer look.

There’s a whole side of my life that doesn’t often make it onto this page.

Alongside the coaching work I do with people and horses, I’m also part of the Douglas Bull & Female Development Center.

Sale weekend is full. Long days, good cattle, and a whole lot of people coming together to make it all happen.

It’s a different kind of work…
and it’s rooted in the same place.

Agriculture.
Community.
And a deep respect for the life we’re part of.

And in many ways, it’s this life that shapes how I hold space for others who join the horses and I in the roundpen.

Horses notice things about us
that we don’t always say out loud.

The way we carry ourselves.
The tension we’re holding.
The places where we’re trying to keep everything together.

They don’t respond to what we think we should be.

They respond to what is actually there.

Sometimes that’s the first time someone realizes how much they’ve been carrying.

Not because anyone pointed it out.

Simply because the horses met them in a way that made it visible.

There’s something about that kind of honesty that creates space for things to shift.

There’s something about having a space to step away from the pace of everyday life for a while.

No pressure to figure anything out.
No expectation to have the right words.

Only time.
Space.
And the quiet presence of the horses.

Over the past while, I’ve had the opportunity to witness what can unfold for people in that kind of environment.

Sometimes it’s clarity.
Sometimes it’s simply a breath they didn’t realize they needed.
Sometimes it’s a moment of feeling more like themselves again.

This spring, I’ll be opening a couple of small Spring Pasture Circles beginning April 22.

These are small, intentional groups designed to offer that kind of space through guided, experiential time with the horses.

If this feels like something that speaks to you, I’d be happy to connect and share more.

There’s a moment that happens sometimes in the pasture.

People arrive carrying the pace of their day with them. The thinking. The doing. The constant moving forward.

And then… something begins to slow.

A horse will often walk over and stand quietly beside them.

No direction.
No expectation.
No need to explain anything.

Only presence.

It’s in those moments that people often notice something they hadn’t had space to see before.

Not because anyone pointed it out.

Simply because the space allowed it.

That’s often where the work begins.

This is the kind of space we create in the pasture.

Strong people carry a lot…
and they don’t always have a place to set it down.

This time of year on the farm always brings quiet reminders about beginnings.

Over the past few days we’ve welcomed a few brand new calves into the world. Watching them find their feet beside their mothers is something that never gets old.

Those first wobbly steps.
The quiet instinct of the cow staying close.
Life beginning again in its own steady rhythm.

Moments like that naturally slow you down.

They remind us that growth rarely happens all at once. It unfolds over time. Through small steps, patience, and space.

I notice something similar when people spend time in the pasture with the horses.

When the pace of everyday life softens for a while, people often begin noticing things they hadn’t had space to see before. Sometimes that’s where something new begins.

Spring seems to have a way of inviting those kinds of reflections.

This spring I’ll be opening a couple of small Pasture Circles beginning April 22, for those who feel drawn to spend time in that kind of space with the horses.

For now though, we’re simply enjoying the season of new life here on the farm.
