Hey y’all- checking in from Recovery Road. Tuesday will be 4 weeks post surgery and NO pressure on my left foot. Shout outs to all for checking, sharing, reaching out and for your prayers. Grateful and Blessed with community that supports. 🙏🪽😊

People ask me how I am doing? Instead of the cursory “good” or “fine”- I answer as authentically as I can. I am ok and struggling through each day with new experiences and perspectives.

Seeing things through crutches, walkers, scooters and doing everything on one leg (lots of hopscotch!) makes everything from grabbing a cup of coffee to making the bed a Tabata workout. I often think how the right side is gonna be a peach and the left side is gonna be a wrinkled prune 😂😂😂

Surrendering my wants for Gods needs is difficult for this independent get’r done woman. There have been tears, frustration, laughter and love. 💕

Practicing daily what we work on with our horse partners has shed more light on the impact and life changes that are so important for all people. Breathing, giving myself grace, accepting the here,now- all things we practice regularly and horses are so good at doing.

Everyone we are blessed to work with deals with similar struggles each day- the struggle is real.

So this is my choice; choose joy and experience in a new way how important mental, physical and emotional health is. This message is really for me and I hope it blesses you as well. 💕

Perhaps this is what James and Paul mean when counting our trials as joy because we are chosen to impact the world for Christ. James 1:2-4 NIV

I am ok! So are you! We will be ok together in this space. Love you all 🧡🐴

Hey y’all!

The New Year is here and what an exciting time to reflect on priorities, practice gratefulness and accept Gods plan with open hands for the upcoming year.

My heart overflows with the incredible people that surround me. Kids, parents, volunteers, family, owners and of course our horse partners. The absolute BEST. We put ourselves into the miracle business with special angels every day and it’s hard work. Thank you 🫶🏼

As we journey into this season, I am undergoing a complete foot reconstruction that looks like something out of a horror movie. It did not register how critical and extensive this journey is and how WAY outside my wheelhouse it is.

Which means that sessions are suspended during this healing journey. God has me working hard to heal in order to pick up and run the race HE has.

He is doing a thang- uncomfortable? yes- scary? -yes. Trusting God? Absolutely!

Hang in there with me through this time of healing. I am putting everything on the field to come back stronger and level up in this crazy beautiful plan God has. Thank you. Love you. Pray for you and with you.

We don’t bear fruit alone, we remain in Christ and grow (struggle) together. John 15:4-5 NIV. 🧡🐴

Love every single one of you!

Merry Christmas from Hearts of Steele!! 🎄🐴🧡Celebrating the birth of Jesus and being together as a family is what truly matters.

Isaiah 9:6 ESV
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Exciting things happened this past Saturday as our three athletes competed for the State Equestrian games for special Olympics here in Mississippi. They competed in equitation and western trail. Our athletes took home gold and silver medals!! 🥇🥈

We are thankful for the opportunity that was given to them!🧡🐴

We had a blast last night at the Joni and Friends Gala!! It was a nice evening we got to spend together! Most importantly it was good to see the impact that Joni and Friends makes and how it affects people across the world!

We love our volunteers and the work they put in to Hearts of Steele. We would not be the family we are without them!🧡

Wow! A time was had at Joni and friends!
Joni and friends is an organization that reaches and serves people with disabilities and shares the Gospel and the good news of Jesus Christ.

On october 18th, Joni and friends hosted their annual Barnyard dance, it was a blast! We had a fantastic time providing our horses for rides!! We are grateful for all of the volunteers that made it possible!🧡

It’s through collaboration with like minded organizations to educate and impact people with special needs on the benefits of Equine Facilitated Learning. Horses are special and to work alongside them and be a partner with them is something you will never forget🐴💕

We have our riders try different positions ride ba****ck and utilize natural elements during sessions for these reasons:

1. Increased Focus: The act of riding ba****ck requires attention to both the horse's movement and the rider's body. This helps individuals direct their focus toward a specific task, minimizing distractions

2. Sensory Regulation: The rhythm of the horse's movement can provide a calming, repetitive sensory input that can help regulate the nervous system. This sensory feedback can be grounding, making it easier for the rider to remain calm and focused learning to respond not react.

3. Improved Body Awareness: Different positions foster proprioception (awareness of the body in space), which can help individuals feel more in control of their movement.

4. Mind-Body Connection: Engaging the mind and body simultaneously can improve impulse control and attention span.

5. Look at these confident riders and smiles!!! 🧡🐴✨

This video is so fun to watch and everyone is having a good time. Underneath the joy there are some super important happenings we are blessed to be a part of. 😇

Partnering means physical, emotional, mental and spiritual communication.

For people that do not know how to communicate, deal with trauma, or have physical and/or mental challenges- partnering does not come naturally.

These sweet students are using all of their faculties to manage and cope in a new experience.

They are watching the horses behavior and reaction; checking spatial awareness, utilizing problem solving skills and responding to the horse’s body position with theirs. They are doing all these things calmly while experiencing the joy of the unpredictability.
Horses love to play and are curious too! 🧡🐴✨

Please share with someone you know that could benefit or come join us yourself for some engaging growth, joy and fun! 🐴✨

A little Saturday fun!! Apache and Carti 🐴 decided to go for a little swim 😆 our riders did a good job with balance and staying on 🤠

When working with horses you have to have trust and be a good leader. Getting Dolly to walk through the little pool of water is a huge win!! 🤗

Olivia getting willow onto the wash rack area in the background is a small win too! That’s another example of trust. 🧡
