Success to me is not about driving the nice car, having the big house, going on lavish vacations, rather it’s about the depth of the relationships around me. I want to have relationships centered on connection, and I don’t want to sacrifice that for the sake of completing a task. One of my greatest life teachers on this subject has been a horse, not a human.

Roland is a sassy quarter horse, who’s registered name at birth was “tornado kid” if that tells you anything. He had been passed around to several owners until I laid eyes on him, my rescuing archetype kicked in and the rest is history.

I have been around horses for about a decade, but the connection has deepened for me over the past five years and for the first time this year I am getting to call a herd of horses my colleagues. Find out how horses can help us build healthy connected relationships with ourselves and others.
