MY VISION
Horses
To raise awareness and bridge scientific knowledge into equestrian sports for improved horse welfare.
To educate professionals and horse enthusiasts on the natural lives of horses and how to apply the understanding of equine biology, ecology, and psychology to improve horse-human relationships, care and performance.
To collaborate, share research and teach knowledge on the emotional lives of horses interacting with people and implement tools to help create better relationships for both.
People
To inspire and educate people how to create a more collaborative and compassionate world by integrating their hearts and mind, developing their innate ability to connect, communicate, and create with all forms of life, and recognizing how their inner natures reflect in the outer nature we see.
To expand consciousness through educating people on how beliefs, thoughts and feelings influence not just the individual but the entire system and transferring skills to direct positive actions toward adaptation and happiness.
My Story
Integrating hearts and minds to help professionals better interact with nature and horses.
Growing up “hearing” the thoughts of nature and feeling the emotions of other animals, I wanted to know “how I know what I know” and why everyone else could not hear and feel the same. Fortunate enough to start riding before I was five years old, my love continued throughout high school showing jumpers in California.At the same time, my love of nature kept me hiking the forests, paddling the rivers and swimming the Pacific Ocean. Nature and horses were my teachers until I went off to the University of California, Irvine and then the University of Wyoming to study wild horses, range management and other wildlife. Recognizing the limits of science in studying behavior, I conducted studies to show how our thoughts and feeling affect the outcome of our observations in wildlife research. Not a popular topic, but my study showed that when we slow our brain waves down and look “with” rather than “at” wildlife and become a part of the whole system without judgement, we can have a much higher and more accurate assessment of nature and wildlife.
