How we’re feeling about the heat currently 🙃 the were all sweaty by 9am and got their first hosing of the day…

And of course we got the news that the first of our 2025 hay will arrive tomorrow, because the hottest day of the year so far is the only day that would happen.

For the love of horses, though 🦄

After a couple of days doing very physical farm labor (spreading 120yards of wood chips) it was so nice to go for a little hack on Marty, who lives in the front paddocks. Marty has a big personality packed into his little Barbie dream horse body- he’s very enthusiastic to work and knickers when he knows he’s done a good job😍 he’s very well trained and has a lot of R+ buttons that I’m still learning… thanks to Jess Beckstrom for letting me enjoy him 💜

I’d be thrilled to have some sunshine, but the grey mist sure does make for soulful photos 😍

Miss Elowen got a much needed shed upgrade today 😍 hoping to make this sweet girl a bit comfier while making mucking a little easier for us!

Ray, the property owner, was thrilled to put his brandy-new payloader to work. We are so grateful for his expertise with projects like this- without his equipment and skill set this would have been a full day endeavor. Instead, it was a quick 30 minutes 💁🏼‍♀️ the setup of our space (which Ray designed) is also ideal- we can move electric tape easily and drive machinery and vehicles right into the paddocks…

I love seeing the property improvements over the years I’ve been here- day to day it feels like painstakingly slow progress but thinking back to what it looked like just three years ago is wild.

All for the love of horses 💜

Sunday we had Deborah Murphy out for a clinic on the impact of increased body awareness via Feldenkrais in our work with horses. I’ve had the pleasure of doing private Functional Integration sessions with Debbie the last year or so- I really can’t say enough about the positive benefits. I started sessions to increase my tool kit in equine work, but have felt tremendous personal wellness changes as a happy aside. Like I always do after sessions, the attendees Sunday finished feeling like they’d been at the spa all day- our minds were clear and our bodies grounded.

At the core of this special work, I’m incredibly grateful to horses- loving them created our wonderful community, inspired this deeply personal journey, and encouraged these humans to try something new. I can’t wait to see how our path emerges alongside our equine partners.

For the love of horses 💜

Our species centric diet seminar was so well received we are offering another one 🤩 join us in person or virtually on Sunday June 22 from 4-630pm to discuss optimal feeding for horses.

Freya here is certain that French toast bagels with strawberry jelly fit nicely into her full forage, anti-inflammatory diet 😆

Please join me in wishing a Happy 21st Birthday to Fleur de Lis- lovingly called Lily 🤩🦄🥳

Lily is a kind mare, quiet but deep. She’s full of love that she shares readily and has a silly side that her pals seem to bring out of her. Her relationship with Maverick is bound to insight laughter and her bond with Mari models supportive comraderie. She’s a sincere pleasure to care for 💜

Happy birthday pretty girl! Here’s to many more 🌸

On the last day of I am filled with gratitude for horses and our little place of peace at Hidden Hills farm that has such a profound impact on well-being.

I tell everyone who comes to the farm that we are here because of Jack- and sincerely we are. Our journey together has tremendously impacted my mental health… he needed a human to really show up authentically and in the moment. Before, I flitted around without regard for the present, trying to stay busy enough to avoid truly feeling anything. As Ive incorporated mindful moments and continued to work on myself, I am emboldened by his interest in partnering with me and excited by the interactions we have. I needed his external motivation when I had lost my own internally, and I’m endlessly thankful to him for that.

If you need a sign or a slight push to deeply explore your “stuff”, I welcome you here to give it a shot among our herd. It’s messy, hard work (and sometimes no fun at all) but we deserve wellness 💜
