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!

Our Journey Around the World: Part 16 - Sydney, Australia

Sydney: A Dreaded Place to a Dream Place Off to Sydney we go! We were initially nervous to see how this time would go as last time we were not big fans. We stayed in downtown Sydney and did not enjoy it at all because lets be real… We are not city people! But we knew we had to go get people certified in Sydney, so for the sake of our business we did it. We finally arrived in Sydney, far later than expected, but everything still worked out. Our lovely Australia Instructor, Jane Hemingway-Mohr, whose house we would be doing the program at, was there to pick us up and she greeted us with such a beautiful smile! Since we arrived so late we were unable to see the place where the program would take place the night before so we had no idea what to expect the next morning. Staying positive, we eagerly waited for morning as we were curious where this program would take place. Morning finally came and Jane came to pick us up bright and early to take us back to her place before...

The Spirit of an Amazing Horse… Faye.

Calgary AB October 3, 2011- Owner and Senior Facilitator of Spiritual Equine Connection, Kari Fulmek nearly gave up on her dream of running an Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) program after a year of trials and tribulations. This is a story of an amazing horse that has beaten so many odds to come be a part of our EAL program. EAL learning is “Where the Horses do the Teaching”. All our programs our done on the ground, “out of the saddle programs”. We work with horses and at risk youth to help build self esteem, self confidence and many life skills. We use horses because; By their intuitive nature and innate sensitivity, horses can provide facilitators with a window into the participants’ personality. They mirror back what the participants are feeling and participants need to adjust their feelings and behaviours to work successfully with the horses. Fulmek had always dreamt of being able to work with horses to help others, and her dream began to come true when she was certified as an...

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...
