Offering connection-based and trauma-informed coaching in horsemanship and equine programming

12/02/2025

Announcement time! We have officially moved! The new home base for Still Waters Equine is a gorgeous piece of land in the rolling hills of Madison Virginia. The future has almost too many possibilities at this point, but I will continue to travel to work with other programs for coaching and consultation in the meantime. More info to come as we work to build in partnership with Madison Hills Events (coming soon!)

For now, we are thrilled for this opportunity. I do not have adequate words for the gratitude I feel for the people, horses and experiences that have been a part of the journey so far. Through the challenges and fears, it was clear that this was the next path God had laid out for us. I was reminded again and again that fear is not a sign you're on the wrong path. It's a sign that the path you're on is important.

Does your horse have a secret talent? This boy is very skilled at getting his blanket filthy, even with fresh snow on the ground. Look closely- you'll see that it was once plaid!

A few years ago, I was listening to a podcast featuring Josh Nichol, discussing working with horses in a relational way. He said something that brought tears to my eyes. I actually pulled the car over so I could make a note of it in my phone... "Don't take from me that which is mine to give."

I remember it specifically because of my work in residential programming with teen girls. One of the most frequent questions we would get (other than "When can I ride?") was "Can I train my horse to lay down?" I usually dodged both of those questions with something like "We'll see" or "Depends on the kind of work you do".

Then I heard that statement, shared from the perspective of the horse... "Don't take from me that which is mine to give" and I realized I wasn't ever going to train a horse to lay down on command. I started instead to play with my own sensitivity and awareness. How attuned do I need to be for my horse to feel safe with me and with others? What does earning trust really look like?

I am by no means finished in finding answers to those questions, but I am certainly farther along than I used to be. Go forth and connect, friends!

One of my favorite events all year and it's just a month away! If you are involved with or interested in ministry with horses, I'd love to see you at East Coast Ranch Ministry Clinic and Fellowship!

I love clinic days and this one was so full of learning! We got to play with balancing dual connections, slowing down into smaller steps and finding presence and congruence. Even managed to fit in a nap. Beautiful horses, beautiful people, beautiful day!

Hi everyone! Meadows of Hope is offering a clinic April 20th from 10am to 2pm in Holtwood PA. This is an Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) workshop focused on the principles we use in relationships with our horses and the hurting people we work with. If you are interested in EAL and want to learn more or are part of an EAL program already and want more coaching, this workshop is for you! Each participant will get hands-on time with one of our horses and staff to practice both relational and horsemanship skills. Because we want to offer individual coaching for all participants, space is very limited!

So excited to be able to do this again this year! East Coast Ranch Ministry Clinic and Fellowship is one of my favorite events!
