We continue to be deeply touched by the reciprocal nature of the horse, and how tenderly they can care for one another. While we have slowly begun the daunting task of desensitizing our feral mothers-to-be and ever so patiently started to lay the subterranean foundation of trust, it has not been quick enough to curry away the itchy rain rot … Read More
Galway and Deaglan
They are both branded Hanoverians, they had been owned by the same owner…who self-reports to be a great lover of Hanoverians, they were both dumped at slaughter…by that very owner when she was “done” with them.

While Lauren is teaching Darcy to lead within the carefully closed doors … Read More

We are taking baby steps….awaiting the first steps of our new babies, and the first moments of our their little lives. Our preparations are not what new “parents” dream of, our cameras are set to protect rather than capture, our moments are tense rather than anticipatory, and we hope for just a little more time…rather than hope for the impending … Read More

March 2014 Culture Message
With great regularity, I sit across from my clients (during my “other” day job) and counsel them to stop taking business so personally. Business is business; it is not personal. Frequently, I facilitate helping my clients with defining the mission and vision of their organizations. In these cases, I do everything possible to help my clients out of their left … Read More
