Sir Charles: Our Knight In Shining Armour

Picture this… I wake up around 5am and look out my window as I am pouring my first cup of coffee and I see dark spots everywhere. It hits me, my beautiful horse Charlie is bleeding out. (this is another story for another time) I call the vet, she rushes over. Charlie is still grazing on grass, he does want to leave, but oh, my, gosh, I have to put him down. I had already lost my incredible mom, best friend and business partner June 1st along with our beautiful horse Buddy on June 1 and now this! (My mom and Buddy too is a complete other story) In 8 weeks I had lost 3 beautiful human beings and 4 horses for very, very, different reasons.

I am not a person who shares too much of my own personal life but I have also learned through my experiences that sharing can often times help others along their way.

So to continue on…it is now pouring rain and it’s takes Charlie 3 shots to put him down, I am balling my face off as my heart can no longer take so much loss in such a short period of time. The vet leaves, I’m in my garage balling and feeling beyond sorry for myself and it hits me, I have dogs, will they lick the blood with all the shots Charlie had to take to move on to the next life. I called the vet’s and ask what will happen? They say, oh my gosh, you have to lock your dogs in as they will die if they lick it. NOW, I am beyond pissed! Why didn’t they tell me this? I call my dogs in and lock them in garage. I get 300 feet of watering hoses and I am out in the field with where my beautiful Charlie was, spraying all the blood away. Screaming up above, yep, that’s right, screaming at GOD, “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME”!! Am I not suppose to be doing this business? Is this your sign? This is the worst way on earth to tell me!! I get everything cleaned up and I just know, this is still the business for me! I cannot explain what happened but I got the message loud and clear that I am suppose to prove how strong I am, how much I can withstand to show that I am 100% d
edicated to this dream!

How do you know in your gut when you are suppose to keep moving forward with a dream when it feels everything is against it? I can tell you right now, it’s when it’s the worst not the easiest, that is your dream! I believe in every single one of you women! You can make anything happen IF you believe you can. You are the driving force! Not anyone else! Money is NEVER the reason not to do your dream. If money is the thing that ever holds you back when there is so many different ways to get around it, it’s not your dream. Money is material! Don’t get me wrong, I know we all need money to survive and live but any business I have ever started, I had no money, I had no help. I came up with ways that still boggle my mind. We die, we do not take money with us. We live, we die, we do our dream, we take our moments of purpose with us!!!

I am not telling my one story for you to feel sorry for me as I am not a believer in this but to help connect you to your own personal dream. Your own personal dream should be so hard and hurt so bad that no matter what you have to do or what you go through you know it is still your path! If it doesn’t hurt, if it isn’t hard, if it doesn’t mess your brain with how you will do it, it is not a dream!

We are here for each and every one of you who wants to pursue this absolutely, purposeful career on earth and sorry, but we stay with you forever when you take our course. We believe, we are not successful until YOU are! That is our motto and we stick behind it 100%. Horses, people and you and doing something greater than yourself brings incredible experiences and breath taking moments. May all you have ever dreamt be yours this year! PLUS may you all have your health!

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...
