It was an outstanding week of sessions on the farm. I wanted to acknowledge two kids who have shown exceptional dedication and perseverance in their sessions and had the confidence and faith in themselves to ride their mules for the very first time. We were extremely proud and impressed by their achievements. 💜

Here are some photos from the week.

This is the sweetest video. It’s important to tell the people and animals how much you love them. 💜

🎃👻 Wishing Everyone a Spook-tacular Halloween! 👻🎃

Today marked the exciting launch of our “spooky” equine sessions! The kids and their trusty equines navigated a haunted obstacle course, all while honing their regulation and co-regulation skills, resilience, presence, and critical thinking. While it may seem like a simple stroll through the course with their mule, horse, or donkey, the experience runs much deeper!

These incredible kids have dedicated themselves to building trust, enhancing communication, and fostering understanding in their relationships with their equines. It is this foundation that made today’s accomplishments possible.

As they navigated through the course, the kids not only learned more about themselves but also had big smiles. We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements!

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!

Enjoy the pics!

Today is National Mule Day and I want to thank the incredibly kind, funny, thoughtful compassionate and loving mules that are part of our family. They have enriched not only our lives, but the kids and families that come out to see them. They help us all find our balance, self worth and see us for who we truly are, even when we are unable to. They treasure the kids they work with and truly love helping the clients. It makes us smile when their kids get out of the car and they run down the hill or bray so loudly when they see their kid. I hope we all can keep helping the kids in our community.

On a personal note, I want to thank my mules for being here for me and helping me through my personal struggles and the very best times of my life. They have carried me through so many changes in my life and have taught me to be more grounded, love who I am, be patient, find my inner strength and courage and to be more connected with myself, others and nature. I have made the most important friendships of my life through my mules. I truly don’t know where I would be without them in my life.

I am eternally grateful to them and I will love them forever. 💜

Thank you Trudy, Hank, Myrl, Daisy and Ellie (the mules) and of course Ollie the horse, Wilbur and Haggy the donkeys- you guys can be honorary mules today because this post was about you too!!

Daisy was quite the helper in mindful card play today. Trudy tried to come over and help but Daisy wanted none of that.

More time out in this beautiful fall weather. Ollie said he’s a handsome boy and everyone should acknowledge. 🤣🥰

Fall is upon us at the farm. The colors are beautiful.

Sometimes the ducks just need to know what you’re doing and if there could possibly be…treats. 🤣🥰

Andrew must have had some good energy last night! The whole herd went to him. Haggy was a little wild Donk! 💜

Love him and these babies so much!

Told the gang we had sessions this afternoon and everyone headed down. It was a great afternoon, despite the rain. The kiddos made get progress in their sessions today.

Hopefully we can all get some sunshine tomorrow.

Here are a bunch of pictures from the past two weeks. We are so proud of the kids and what they have been accomplishing with their equines.

Not only do we work with equines but when being present in the moment and taking in the nature around us, we see so many beautiful and wondrous things. Just need to take a moment to stop, breathe, listen, and focus. 😍 Syd LF Nikki Sparkle

Nothing in this world like mule/donkey/horse love and of course best friends. 🥰💜🩷✨. Syd LF, Nikki Sparkle
