The Centaurs

The Centaurs

by Sheri Gaynor | Feb 20, 2022 | Equine Facilitated Learning and Growth, Equus heART Equine Lead

Today I was graced to be witness to a tender few moments at WindWalkers. Two little boys were guided into the arena in their wheelchairs. When I say “little,” I mean tiny. It was clearly not their first ride, you could see it in their Spirits, their...

by Sheri | May 7, 2020 | Empowerment, Equine Facilitated Learning and Growth, Equus heART Equine Lead

Our fIrst ride in three months on the new boarding property, due to COVID and equine medical issues. I don’t know when I’ve seen my girl step out so well. She was SO alive! We worked in the round pen to create a connection and to calm ME down, before...

The Art of Emotional Agility: Becoming more horse like

by Sheri | May 2, 2020 | Empowerment, Equine Facilitated Learning and Growth, Equus heART Equine Lead

Sunday continues to teach me the art of emotional agility, or as I like to share with clients, “how to become more horse like.” We humans (I) have a tendency to fret, worry and ruminate. Horses, on the other hand, assess, take action, and go back to...
