Hello all. I am a retired military veteran and yoga teacher. Someday I hope to be a horseman, and am really happy I will be spending the rest of my life heading in that direction. Everything that I have experienced up until now certainly seems to have prepared me for helping humans understand and connect to horses.

I have many years experience practicing mindfulness and have worked extensively with veterans and others who are living with the effects of trauma induced stress. Our main focus was to teach these folks how to use mindfulness practices to emotionally self-regulate. If you are interested in what I learned you may wish to read Teaching Trauma Sensitive Yoga – A Practical Guide .

Horses have given me a new perspective on what it means to be really mindful. They have brought me true joy and an understanding of what it means to be a good person. My only regret when it comes to horses is that I didn’t start sooner:).
