"A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to." - Brené Brown

Hello everyone.
It seems that spring has now sprung! It’s time to plan in your therapeutic/adaptive riding lessons for 2023 season. I’m doing things a little bit different this year and rather than booking straight through from spring to fall I’ve created seasonal blocks to give everyone including our special equines a little break to relax and reflect. You can put in for just 1,2,3 or all sessions. I am certified with the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association CanTRAII and approved for autism funding. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Robin, Twister, Neva, Tessy.

Estudios recientes realizados por el “Institute of Heart-Math” proporcionan una pista para explicar la" curación "bidireccional que ocurre cuando estamos cerca de los caballos. Según los investigadores, el corazón tiene un campo electromagnético más grande que el cerebro: un magnetómetro puede medir el campo de energía del corazón que irradia desde 2.4 metros hasta 3 metros alrededor del cuerpo humano. Si bien esto es ciertamente significativo, quizás sea más impresionante que el campo electromagnético proyectado por el corazón de un caballo sea cinco veces más grande que el de un ser humano (imagina una esfera en forma de campo electromagnético alrededor del caballo) y este pueda influir directamente en nuestro propio ritmo cardíaco.

También es probable que los caballos tengan lo que la ciencia ha identificado como un ritmo cardíaco "coherente" (patrón de frecuencia cardíaca) que explica por qué podemos "sentirnos mejor" cuando estamos cerca de ellos. Los estudios han encontrado que un patrón cardíaco coherente o HRV (siglas en inglés) es una medida sólida de bienestar y consistente con estados emocionales de calma y alegría, es decir, exhibimos tales patrones cuando sentimos emociones positivas.

Un patrón cardíaco coherente es indicativo de un sistema que puede recuperarse y adaptarse a situaciones estresantes de manera muy eficiente. Muchas veces, solo necesitamos estar en presencia de caballos para sentir una sensación de bienestar y paz. De hecho, la investigación muestra que las personas experimentan muchos beneficios fisiológicos al interactuar con los caballos, incluida la disminución de la presión arterial y la frecuencia cardíaca, mayores niveles de beta-endorfinas (neurotransmisores que actúan como supresores del dolor), disminución de los niveles de estrés, disminución de los sentimientos de ira, hostilidad, tensión y ansiedad, mejor funcionamiento social; y mayores sentimientos de empoderamiento, confianza, paciencia y autoeficacia ".

Morning Mantra: "Surround yourself with those that want to see you grow."
There are people in your life that only want the best for you. They are supportive, generous, and encouraging. They carry the light of love in their hearts.
There are others who have their own issues with self esteem, and they can only see people as a threat or as competition. Their hearts are un-enlightened.
Find the light.
Refuse to tolerate anyone that doesn't appreciate you, and want to see you blossom into your best self.
