Meet our herd.

Nine distinct personalities. A shared invitation to slow down, be curious, and connect.

Mama is the elder, leader, and dam to Stormy and Nellie. She holds the wisdom of the herd and the matriarchal spirit.

Blackie spent years as a steady, intelligent, and confident trail horse before retiring from riding due to arthritis and thin soles.

Now the same qualities that made her a trusted riding companion, a nurturing mother, and a leader, make her a favorite among our visitors.

As the sentry and guardian of the herd, Nellie is keenly intuitive and energetically sensitive.

She extends her special gifts to our guests through gentle body scans, focused attention and energetic clearing.

Nellie has a sweet spirit, and deep knowing eyes. She senses when her calming, healing, presence is needed and offers it freely.

Stormy20-year-old Quarter Horse gelding

Despite being the senior male of the herd, Stormy has the playful curiosity and spirit of a child.

Often the first to greet guests, his welcome may include unzipping a jacket, picking a pocket, or stealing a hat.

Like an inquisitive youth, he will follow you just to see what you’re up to and cause a little harmless mischief. In doing so, Stormy has a way of illuminating what we hold behind the masks we wear and teaching the hard lessons.

The clockwise spiral on his head symbolizes his divine masculine energy. It represents growth, action, expansion, evolution, and left brain thinking, reflecting energy that moves outward and creates change.
