WAY OUT BACK
Australia events in December 2011 differed dramatically from the previous year's adventures, but were no less delightful, deep and rewarding. Participants, human and equine, continued their elegant and profound work in Journey Horse. I still bask in their brilliance, my heart warmed and my life enriched. Indeed the entire past year has been characterized by wonderful friendships that testify to the profound impact of working with horses as partners in our life journeys. Plans are in place for more Journey Horse Oz in 2012, starting with Equitana in early November with three- and five-day clinics in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Details in coming weeks. See below for other events already scheduled in Ashland and Ireland that have me looking forward to this Big Year with high anticipation, where you are invited to join us for more Journey work with horses.
Here is a tale of my baby elder adventure in Oz. Months before this year's trip, I began a search for indigenous elders on both sides of the pond, to enrich our studies in exploring inner and outer landscapes. Emails and phone calls went unanswered for weeks in both the US and Oz. READ MORE.
Liberty Training Clinic
with ROBIN GATES
Certified Trainer in the Carolyn Resnick Method
May 18, 7-9pm,
May 19 -20, 9am-4pm
Ashland, Oregon
For the past 5 years I have enjoyed a truly enthusiastic relationship with my horses, for work and play, thanks to Carolyn Resnick's Waterhole Rituals. I hope you will join us for this rare opportunity for a clinic here in my home town with Robin Gates, a long-time Certified Trainer of the "Carolyn Resnick Method". In this 2-day (and one evening) workshop, working at liberty in a free environment, unrestrained, with the absence of tack, Robin teaches how a bond is created through companionship interactions that are naturally enjoyable to the horse. Her teaching is extraordinary. See PDF flier for more: click here.

Journey Horse Ireland:
Reclaiming the Dream
September 16-28, 2012
Early Bird special before March 1.
Please join me for the ride of a lifetime through the most beautiful rolling green in the world in the west of Ireland, a twelve-day seminar based at An Sibin Riding Centre. We begin with five days of Journey Horse: in-depth partnering with a horse through liberty work, enhancing explorations into the Celtic myth and magic that resides in that land, inspired by words of John O'Donohue & others, with visits to O'Donohue's homeland and nearby sites such as a castle and Holy Island via boat, followed by a six-day ride cross-country on the same horse you have known the previous week, staying at B&Bs along the way. We will ride for about 140 miles from County Galway westwards through the rural areas of County Clare into the unique Burren region and on to the rough Atlantic coast overlooking the spectacular Cliffs of Moher.
Register by March 1 to save $300.
Maximum 10 participants, intermediate riding ability.
