Our Journey Around the World: Part 7 - Huntsville, ON

Our second time to Huntsville seemed like it was going to be a breeze! Heck we had been there before, we were even staying at the same lovely B&B, AND we had a GPS! And it really was easy! Our host facility was once again amazing and the team of facilitators were awesome.
We even had one gentleman who actually had no horse experience, but simply knew that this type of learning was on the upswing, so he wanted to hop on the wagon early! Jim was a fantastic learner, but every once in awhile, would randomly disappear! The running joke became, “Where’s Jim,” as it seemed one of us was always asking that question. He was a fantastic sport about all the girls teasing him!

Another lovely bonus of our second time back is that we even got a few visitors! Monique and Melina both travelled to come pick our brains and get in some practice while we were in town!

A few days in, Carolyn’s cold that she started out the trip with started to get worse. And worse… and worse. Eventually the girl had purchased enough cold medicine that she could breathe! We had also decided to get some training videos done on this trip too! You’ll notice that these ones feature mostly Kari and Carolyn.

Once again, Suzanne Thompson was a beautiful host as we stayed at the Crews On Inn. Such a lovely stay, with beautiful people, beautiful horses and beautiful scenery!

The Woman Who Gave Me Everything

One of the hardest days of my life was saying the physical goodbye to my incredible mom! It’s amazing how strong we must get when we have to and I knew I would have to be strong to write and read this at my mom’s funeral as I knew no one else could do her life justice in what she did as they didn’t know here like I did. There was no other like my mom, Faye! This was a little unorthodox that I, her daughter, said the eulogy but so was my mom, so I believe this was a great fit as she gave me everything in life. For myself, the loss of her seemed and continues to seem greater every day because I simply just miss her. I miss her voice; I miss calling her for every little simple question and just being able to talk with her. Within the first month of her passing, both my youngest daughter and I tried calling her home number and cell number because it seemed quiet, too quiet, without her presence. Mom and I had an incredible relationship not just as, mother and daughter, but we were soul ...

From Across the Seas

In September we had received an email from South Korea asking us if we would be interested in being a reference for their government initiated study for program development through horse and healing programs. How exciting is this?! A group coming all the way from the other side of the world conducting a research piece on this powerful EAL program! So of course, without any doubt in our mind, we said yes! The team that came down were composed of university professors, doctors and horse specialists. They came, researched, asked questions, ran through a couple programs, and studied our unique educational approach! However, this blog isn’t necessarily about their research. It’s about how AMAZING having a language barrier was. They had spoke some English - but not all of them. And yet, we all understood each other through the power of body language. The night before they came out to our facility, they had asked us if we would like to go to dinner, so yet again, OF COURSE! We had met up a...

Our Journey Around the World: Part 17 - Wellington, Florida

It has been a cold winter in Alberta, so the opportunity to head off to Florida was perfect timing! However, our booking for this could have been thought out a bit better. The course was Starting on May 1st, but when we booked the course, we didn’t realize that Karsyn's wedding reception (Kari’s oldest daughter and Carolyn was the emcee for the event) would be the Saturday before. Generally for travelling schools we tend to get there the day before so we can check out the set up and location and to make sure we know where we are going (if you have read the rest of our travelling blogs you will understand why we need to do that). Well this wasn’t going to be the case for going to Wellington Florida. Luckily, our beautiful host Sasha was willing to work with us and send us pictures of how the set up was so we felt a little better about getting there so late. So we got up and headed straight to the airport after a beautiful reception and about 4 hours of sleep. Off to Florida we wen...
