The Greatest Job on EARTH!

I witness something extraordinary every day! A moment so short; but so special and so powerful. It’s truly a gift to experience the changes that happen within a person first hand. To see people break out of their shells and transform fear and hesitation into trust and an overwhelming sense of love and peace.

Here are a few reasons why I became an EAL certified facilitator:

The students, some of whom are constantly in my office, came in with a real nonchalant attitude, an attitude of why am I here, left with such a sense of peace that you could feel. They were calm on the way back to the school, and discussed with me everything they felt or overcame with their particular horse. It is truly incredible to watch just how much of an impact these horses and coaches had on our students that day.

Equine Connection is a top notch service provider. Their program provided a unique combination of leadership and experiential education. The changes that were reported by teachers of students whom attended the program were amazing and the program definitely helped with student confidence, leadership and bullying awareness. The program works for everyone and is highly recommended for all. It was particularly powerful for the First Nation/Aboriginal students as it provided meaningful connections. In my capacity in auditing the risk management and safety of the program I found a program that put participant safety first and achieved a very positive one sided Benefit to risk ratio. Equine Connection did everything reasonable to mitigate and manage foreseeable risks.

Today I sat out but saw Pepper outside and he gave me a hug. I'm very focused, and that would be my word (focus), because I'm deciding what I want to do after treatment.

I've had the pleasure of attending Equine's workshop for teens as I brought my daughter and her friends. Kari and Carolyn were very professional and presented the material in a fun and interactive way. The girls learned about active listening, team work, confidence, trust, and much more! I also learned quite a bit that day which I could see applications to my own life and business. Having horses part of the workshop made this a very memorable experience! I would highly recommend the services of Equine if you are looking for something outside the box! You have to try it out to fully appreciate the value and lessons taught.

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...

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...
