We have started this concept of the "Elderquestrian" because so many of us are mature, centered human beings in relationships with horses for, perhaps, different reasons than the "horse crazy" teenage girl or the cowboy whose living depends upon his horsemanship. We may not be Olympic riders, nor aspire to be (and then again, we might!). We have some obstacles at times if our bodies have a lot of "mileage" on them - and this is where the Naturalpaths philosophies can come to the rescue with powerful support on all levels of healing and balancing. One thing that horses really bring to our lives is a profound connection to Nature. I used to work in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and many of the youth and adults my horses and I worked with had very little to no connection to the natural world. Stepping in poop, seeing the milky way, building a campfire, picking peaches and pecans, watching the birth of an animal - all these experiences (and hundreds more) were made possible by HORSES. If you are looking for support and ideas and a real connection to horses as a mature human being, sign up for our newsletter and check out the Elderquestrian page at www.naturalpaths.org and join us on this journey.
