Tea Time


Back on Furnace Street, when I lived on the side of a mountain, Winter could get really brutal! We had some ice storms and cutting, frozen winds. I used to fix hot (very warm) herbal tea by the bucket full for my horses and they drank it gratefully each evening before I went to bed. It made us all feel wonderful. I made Chammomile for calming my colt; Echinacea for everyone to boost immune systems; Meadowsweet for older equines with soreness or swellings; Rosehip tea for the Vitamin C to prevent or heal respiratory problems; Hawthorn and Linden to strengthen the heart; Nettle tea to add minerals and cleanse and/or Fennel to relieve gassy-ness! Brewing tea for horses is a special, healing thing to do any time of year.

Horses Heal Us

If you can get you out of the way when you come to your horse, he will show you how to shift your position within the field to a place that supports and nurtures your soul. It's all about how you feel and you empower those feelings and they create your reality and your horse is ready to show you how to feel magnificent.

Compassion not Compulsion

In all of our relationships, the light of integrity is held by Compassion. If we consider something other than our own motives and agendas, we can open to living a real life outside of the world of illusion. With animals, we will establish communication instead of domination. With loved ones, we will share our very souls. With humanity, we will become beacons of reason and unconditional love. We will shift ourselves and those who resonate with Nature to a higher kind of love and life where the demoralizing of others is simply not accepted.
