My Dream…
Inspired Horsemanship came about because of a dream. A dream of a better way for horses. A dream for a better way for humans to interact with these magnificent animals. A dream of healing. This has become my quest, my passion, my heart. Inspired means "God Breathed", and I truly believe that God has inspired me in my teaching and training. December 24, 2004 changed my life. It was the Tsunami of my life, both literally and spiritually. I was in Thailand during the Tsunami and got badly injured in a horse riding accident (trail ride) and needed to come home to Minnesota to recuperate. We were living in Malaysia at the time and before I left, a wise woman sat me down and told me to go home and, "just do it, do your dream!". Just do it! I had all the reasons why I couldn't, shouldn't... but my heart was agreeing with her. From my brokenness my dreams started taking shape. I was already involved in Therapeutic Riding but my heart was to change the way we train horses and to give horses a voice. From that moment, Inspired Horsemanship became a reality. The students and horses that have crossed my path have been my greatest teachers and my inspiration. I am truly blessed.
