Horses don’t wake up with a diary full of performance goals. They’re not standing at the gate thinking, “I hope she schools me in a perfect 20-metre circle today.”

Their world is simpler and more honest. Safety. Predictability. Comfort. Herd. Food. Space. Rhythm. That’s the entire ecosystem of their wellbeing.

When we choose not to ride, we are not depriving them of something vital.
We are actually honouring their natural priorities.

Most days, what your horse wants is for you to show up with steady energy and a soft nervous system. They read the tension in your jaw, the rush in your footsteps, the way you hold your breath when you’re stressed. They know. And they respond.

A horse would rather stand with you quietly than carry you while you’re wound tight.

A horse would rather have a peaceful grooming session than be pushed through 45 minutes of schooling with winter wind rattling the arena boards.

A horse would rather feel you regulate beside them than feel you compensate on their back.

We often forget that riding is a human invention, not a horse requirement. What horses seek is harmony. A safe companion. Someone predictable enough that their bodies can settle next to ours.

When you decide not to ride because you’re tired, or the ground is frozen, or your brain is doing that loud static thing, you’re not failing. You’re speaking the horse’s language.

A regulated human is more valuable to them than a mounted one.

They don’t judge you for walking them to the field instead of tacking up. They don’t measure your worth by hours ridden. They care that you’re safe company. That you don’t bring storms into their space. That when you do ask something of them, it comes from clarity rather than pressure.

Some horses genuinely thrive when riding takes a step back for a little while. Their bodies get a breather. Their minds get space. Their relationship with you gets to be about connection rather than task.

If you’re showing up kindly, you’re doing enough.
If your horse is eating well, moving freely, living in a routine that makes sense to them, you’re doing enough.

And in the quiet seasons, the bond often grows deeper. Because horses remember who sits with them in the stillness.

Rescued Hearts Film: A Special Screening + In-Person Event with the Filmmakers

Join us for a special screening of Rescued Hearts — the powerful new documentary uncovering the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses — proudly brought to this community by Equine Connection - The Academy of Equine Assisted Learning.

Inspired by a life-changing moment — when a 7-year-old child diagnosed with autism spoke his first words while interacting with a horse — filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton set out to explore the profound and often miraculous connection between horses and humans.

Through deeply moving personal stories, expert insights, and heart-based research, the film explores how horses offer a space where healing and transformation can unfold — a space where healing is never one-sided.

This community gathering offers a rare chance to experience a film that’s touching hearts across the world, connect with the filmmakers who brought it to life, and share space with others in your community who live and breathe the horse-human connection.

Rating: Rescued Hearts carries no official rating, but it does contain sensitive themes within the healing journeys shared. These topics may not be suitable for younger viewers.

Type "TICKET" to reserve your seat — space is limited for this powerful experience.

*The purpose of this event is to raise awareness about the healing power of horses and the lives being changed through their connection with people.

Equine Connection-The Academy of Equine Assisted Learning has built its entire business on the welfare of the horse. Every certification course is designed around one clear foundation: understanding the horse, their world, and their language.

By attending this event, you are not only experiencing the power of Rescued Hearts but also supporting the larger mission globally of honouring horses as teachers and sharing their role in true human healing.

How I got here

Thank you for stopping by!

In 2015 I was going through a really tough time. A friend of mine asked me to come to her barn to see her horses. Knowing my passion for them through my life she thought the re-connection might be therapeutic....and she could not have been more right.

That visit lead me to start leasing a mare named Dolly at a private farm in beautiful Wilton, Ontario. This is where my healing started. Many days I would just stand in the field with the horses grazing around me, stroking their manes and crying my heart out. I watched them intently and how they communicated and started to learn so much from them. I gained a sense of peace in my soul that had been missing. Dolly, the mare I leased healed my heart and soul with her kindness, acceptance, quiet strength and grace. My next lease and ultimate purchase was Texas. Texas built me back up. Texas challenged me to the point of questioning if he was too much horse for me and ultimately made me refocus my energy and intent when with him. He demanded my presence and he looked for leadership for safety. I needed to become that person if this was going to work.

Horses have a way of knowing you before you do. They are such sensitive creatures they are able to read our bodies, intentions and minds before we are even conscious about it ourselves. I want to share the transformation I felt with others. I know how much we can learn about ourselves through learning to communicate with horses and I know how much it can improve our lives away from the barn.
