When it's cold and the sky is spitting a nasty blend of rain and snow down on you, and you are excited to come out and see a horse anyway... that is where the magic starts. Juno came to the farm in mid-December, when his recently acquired safe home fell through and the person who wanted the best for him trusted me to offer him a good life....

My first vinyl collection was a beloved assortment of stories, handed down from older cousins, uncles and maybe even my mother. The records were well-loved with a few skips and scratches by the time they came to me. Among the favorites were Dr. Dolittle, The Jungle Book, and Ferdinand the Bull. It's no wonder that I grew up understanding that animals were friends and allies, with hearts and minds and voices of their own....

There has been a lack of words, a lack of writing in my life these last couple of years. I am starting to find words again, as the horses seem to be speaking up – in their own, nonverbal way. Is it just me? Have I rounded some corner in my relationship with them? Or is the way they are speaking up with everyone who comes to work with them shifting?...

Who loves to nap in the sun after a long, cold winter?!
Loving to witness our new guy, Juno, settle in more and more. He is getting good sleep, for sure.
As is often the case, adjusting to a new place and new friends takes time. The most pronounced new thing for him is being asked for his opinion in Equine Guided Coaching. Horses don’t typically grow up and have training that allows a lot of freedom of expression, so he has some pushback and some pronounced opinions. We are acknowledging feelings, staying patient and going slowly. Juno is a wonderful soul.

Everything around us is changing. Nothing is going unnoticed. The horses feel alive and ready… am I?!

Dear Friends Attending the Journey On Summit in Paso Robles:
A friend of mine is ISO a ride to San Francisco on 10/28 to catch an international flight departing that evening. Please let me know if you are heading that way and able to help - thanks in advance!

To one of the best humans I had the pleasure to know, Jamie Siebold you will be missed tremendously and fondly remembered by all those who met you... human, horse, dog, and I am willing to bet every other species too. Thank you for sharing a special time with the horses and me in Petaluma - this photo encompasses the trust and the connection with others that we were lucky enough to know in our lives with horses. Thank you also Ceren Akcelik Brunini, for being part of this flagship moment. Many thanks also to Michael Bug for documenting the first stages of dreaming with horses as we experienced it. Jamie, to say it's unfair and that cancer sucks just doesn't even scratch the surface. Rock on in the next world, girlfriend!
