It Starts With the Smallest Thing
A hint of a whisper.
A question.
A second thought.
And then it expands
Until you can’t ignore it any longer.
You are
Awakening.
The Equestrian World is Evolving
Welcome to Mystical Horsemanship.
If you have felt the nudge to explore new perspectives with how you relate to your horse, are curious about different types of healing, care, and training philosophies, or if you wish to connect to other equestrians and have open conversations about your experiences...
Then you're in the right place.
And You are seeing that
I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t love horses. Even before I had one to call my own, the Black Stallion was an ever-present figure galloping alongside our car in my mind as we traveled for vacations and to visit family. I devoured every book I could find, and when my parents finally agreed that I could have a horse, I was over the moon with joy. I rode as much as I could. I flew around the countryside on my trusty Arabian mare and competed in any and every class I could. I was mostly self-taught with the few books that were available and hours and hours in the saddle and at the barn with my horse.
But as I got older, I turned more and more to experts and a strange thing happened. The more lessons I took and the more expert advice that I got, the more disconnected I felt. Until one day I realized with horror that I didn’t even like going the barn, I hated riding, and I was on the verge of selling my beautiful horse because we couldn’t even canter a 20-meter circle.
I wish I could say that realization instantly solved my problems, but it didn’t. It took many, many years of diving down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, trying to put my equestrian self back together. To become the horsewoman that I wanted to be for my horse.

On a NEver-Ending Journey of Curiosity & Education
So for all of you who are on that path, I see you. I know exactly how it feels to want to be better, but not knowing how.
To be desperately searching for a truth outside of myself, only to discover that it must come from within.
Various workshops will be held throughout the year, from bodywork education, horse-human connection, diet analysis, to crystal healing and sound healing, all education is centered around deepening connection to our horses.
