Camp Update...Part One.

Well, not being one to rush things to much, to allow them to unfold as they best see fit, I hereby present the Official Summer Camp Update.....ta-da! :)

Part of me thinks I should do a blog on each camp separate since there are SO many cool photos and experiences to share, but then I decided that if you really want the whole picture that you will just have to come and do a camp yourself, if you weren't there this year, this is all you get.....hahahahaha!

This opening shot is of Indys sexy ears as we overlook Lundbom Lake on the Pre-ride ride that Jeanne, her daughter Cathy and I did.....what a view!


The Connecting at the Dot Camp........ June.

Four brave, devoted souls and their Equine partners explored greater depths of Connection through exercises in developing finer awareness and presence. These photos are from the Waiting Game....a fascinating meditation and reveals so much about ourselves.... I am honored and infinity thankful to be able to watch everyone , seeing into a deeper world, another piece of the mystery of this ethereal link we share with horses. It is a very personal and moving experience Vicki D. and Julio ( Cita's Father by the way, happily enjoying his new Gelding-dom)Mark and Sirius , and Laurel with Fancy .....Jeanne and Gumby joined us a day later....


Encouraged to Journal feelings, thoughts, and set a clear written intention and mantra for the weekend and the future, everyone began to soften and relax before my eyes. We played in the Obstacle Field; Complete with the ever popular Water Jump. Even Arab's can be allowed to find the joy in water...:) as Vicki found out. We rode down by the river, and played with lots of Human simulation games that really allowed us to feel "feel".... and ended with a Fabulous dinner in a very eclectic restaurant in Spence's Bridge...(YES! Spence's Bridge!) I loved this Camp for the fantastic desire in everyone to find a way to look deeper, ask ourselves how we can allow room in our life and schedule for connection to grow; how by simply being 'with' our horses somehow, magically, allows them to be with us.

Grace and Sue's Custom Camp....August



Two of my all time favorite Ladies and there very good mares, Velvet and Sue's new mare Misty, returned for another intimate camp. I LOVE this special time I get to have with these to friends, exploring the edges of their knowledge and passion for their horsemanship. With just the two ladies, we really get to delve into what the next piece is for them and how best to have it unfold and become a part of their being. Slow paced, free formed and every bit a vacation, this week is not without its growing moments. ( that's polite talk for emotional turmoil and what the heck am I doing here? moments) but that is what we love about our life with horses right? RIGHT????:) Although we had too cool a week of weather to allow us to swim like we did last year, none the less, I think the ladies and I had a GREAT time together and am so looking forward to having them back next summer....Thanks Grace and Sue...!
