This is now on my short list for clients who want to positively impact morale and the bottom line. Maggie, I am so grateful to you and your herd for extending this opportunity to me and my colleagues. Your expert intuition combined with the majestic horses serving in this way makes for an outstanding, high impact, work event.” “During the experience, I was given an opportunity to work with a specific horse to help me address a core issue that was negatively impacting the growth of my business. My horse and I stood in the round pen together while Maggie coached me through the identification of a strategy for approaching the horse. The goal was for me to work through my core issue by influencing my horse to want to walk with me. Maggie offered her coaching and I began to do the suggested work with "my" horse who slowly began to respond. Soon we were traveling around the pen together. This beautiful animal moving swiftly and at ease with me as if we'd always known each other. The more confidently I shared my vision the more responsive he was to taking steps along my side. Walking side by side with this amazing animal felt invigorating. As my turn came to an end, I found myself in awe of both the human and the horse coaching me through the process. I transitioned from being afraid to go into the round pen and carrying my vision inwardly to not wanting to leave and confidently expressing my vision. After the experience, I went home with a profound sense of wonder. I kept thinking of how special it felt to walk with "my" horse and share my vision in such an expansive way. Within a matter of days, I found myself communicating more clearly and directly with others about what I wanted and needed to grow the business. Today, I find myself thinking of the experience frequently, remembering that my horse stopped whenever I spoke less confidently and how he responded gracefully when I spoke of the positive impact the vision would have on others. His free will and his inherent sense of freedom inspire me to think differently about my role in the growth of my business. Therefore, I now talk differently with my clients and they are responding with referrals as well as offering new and more expansive opportunities! “During the experience, I was given an opportunity to work with a specific horse to help me address a core issue that was negatively impacting the growth of my business.

My session was extremely eye-opening. I was able to feel emotions that I didn’t even realize were buried inside of me. Things I didn’t even know about myself were revealed. While an emotional experience, I was at peace and enlightened. I really enjoyed that Maggie advised me to write about my experience so that I could be reminded about my experience in the future. My “a-ha” moment was that as an individual I am enough. I have always struggled with my worth and I judge myself harshly. During my session, I realized that I am worthy of love and that I should treasure the person I am because I am worthy of my own love. As a result of my horse session, I am able to advocate for myself more because I am aware that I have worth as a person. When I’m feeling like judging myself for mistakes made or because of comments made by others; I am reminded and say to myself that “I am enough”. This has lifted a burden off of my shoulders which has reduced depressive and anxious ideations.

The experience surprised me. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but my Equine Epiphany session with Reno brought some much needed clarity on some issues that I wasn't allowing myself to bring to the forefront of my mind. Couched in a pleasant experience with a beautiful animal were some answers to questions I had been avoiding for some time prior. I realized that I had been neglecting a side of my nature that was needing expression. I came to the realization that I may have been put on this earth for a singular reason, my music, and for one reason or another, I had turned a blind eye to it as of late. I realized that day how important it was for me to embrace my gifts and give them the attention and focus they deserve. Though I still struggle with periods where the day-to-day challenges of life get in the way of my higher calling, that session set me on a course where I have acknowledged how important my music is to me, and I find it's not long before I find my footing again, and get back to letting those gifts shine once more.

In 2020 I had the privilege of experiencing the Equine Assisted Learning practice. I was going through a season of change and was very unsure about the whole thing. Maggie and her beautiful horses were absolutely amazing. It was a mentally and emotionally healing moment for me. The epiphany that I had was that the path I’m on is exactly where I need to be. Stressing about the past and being uncertain about the future does not serve me. I do my best to live in the present. I’m reminded of the peace I felt that day and am full of gratitude for that experience.

In the round pen, I started thinking about my personal struggles with being single, and feeling like a third wheel. After I sat still, all the horses came to me. One horse in particular very gently put his hoof lightly on my foot, telling me it's ok to step on others’ toes while standing up for myself. I realized that I'm not alone, many have struggles just like me. I'm not afraid to express my feelings, which has helped me to feel included while also helping me to not get run over by people in sticking up for myself.

After relaxing in the chair with my eyes closed, two horses came up to me, one gently bumped my head while the other gently bumped my chest. Maggie helped to me see that they were showing me to listen to my heart and be open to creativity. To not just do what I always do. I realized that I had been putting my desires to be creative aside while taking all of my time to care for others. The horses helped me to see the joy in being more balanced in my life, to take time to be creative. After this experience, I took up watercolor painting classes and have enjoyed painting and making Christmas cards, thank you cards, and just painting for fun. It has brought a peace and calm that has helped me to be kinder and gentler to those in my life.
