Need a little time to slow down? 💛🐴

Join us this Thursday at noon for Restorative Yoga in the Pasture.

Unlike more active styles of yoga, restorative yoga uses gentle, fully supported poses that are held for longer periods of time, inviting the body to relax and unwind. It's a wonderful practice for reducing stress, improving flexibility, and creating space for rest and renewal.

Bring a mat and any props you have (blocks, bolsters, blankets, etc.), or simply come as you are—we have props available to borrow.

📅 Thursday
⏰ 12:00 PM

Pilates looks a little different around here. 💛🐴

Fresh air. Open space. Horses being horses. A sleeping dog. And a supportive group moving together in the pasture.

No special horse activities. No pressure. Just a chance to strengthen your body and connect to your center while spending time in a peaceful outdoor setting surrounded by nature and animals.

Join us Wednesdays at 9:00 AM.

Not only were the humans on the edge of their seats…

Melody & Ruby were at the edge of the pasture listening too, as if they didn’t want to miss a word, while Certified Carolyn Resnick Method trainer Hannah Francis of .stables guided our volunteer training - personal boundaries for both humans and horses, consent, awareness, and the subtle — and not so subtle — ways horses communicate.

Thank you, Hannah, for so beautifully sharing the profound teachings of Carolyn Resnick with us.

We are honored. 💛

As a wild mustang rescued at age 7, human touch is not something Melody often wants.

How do we know when touching a horse is consensual?

Ask.

Watch for the YES.

A lean into the hand when touch is offered.
A subtle shift in body in your direction.

See the NO.

The slight turn of head away
The subtle step away or shift in her body away from you.

Their voice is clear.

Not sure? Then don't touch.

Doing nothing is something!

If your heart is carrying a heavy load, you don’t have to hold it alone. 🕊️💛🐴

Join us tomorrow for a gentle grief support circle held in the quiet presence of horses, nature, and community.

Together, we’ll create a grounded, supportive space to honor loss — whether recent or long ago — and simply allow whatever is present to be felt and witnessed.

No horse experience needed. Just come as you are.

Friday, May 29th
12:00–2:00 PM

“What do you DO with the horses?”

This is a question we're often asked.

Interestingly, we've never once been asked:
“What do you do with the chickens?”

or

“What do you do with the cats?”

Somewhere along the way, we began assigning horses a role and a purpose — as something meant to provide for us, perform for us, carry us, entertain us, regulate us, heal us, teach us.

Is it possible they could just BE with us vs. doing something for us?

This photo answers the question:

“What do you DO with the horses?”

Nothing.

We share space.
We slow down.
We pause.
We listen.
We allow.
We coexist.

That’s enough.

NOTHING builds the bond. 💛🐴
