So often life brings us lessons we did not expect. Lessons we are not even aware of until we look at the situation that has changed and see the ways in which it has changed us. I started my career with horses as a trainer and instructor at the age of 18 with my own business in northern New Mexico. I owned and operated 3 schools of what I called "natural horse care & training" long before I heard anyone else use the terms. I made up individual, custom blends of herbs for my horses and the boarders'. I taught that kindness and a gentle attitude would bring lasting results. Then life took me on "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride", finally depositing me here, again in New Mexico, precious land of Enchantment, to do exactly what I started out doing in the late 1960's and early '70's! That is: To hold the form of compassionate and nature based ways of relating to horses, caring for horses, loving horses and helping people. The internet now offers this new way of bringing the old ideas out to share and, as soon as we are situated on out new little farm; Dharmahorse will send down deep, nourishing roots to ground our compassionate principles! We will be contacting others to join us on this natural path to horses!

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.
