dancing with Pony

Pony makes us all look good.  Photographer Jeffrey Anderson makes us look even better.  Pony and
Sarah have been dancing with us for nearly seven years, and Jeff has been shooting us for that many years as well.  It is the first time that we have all made an appearance at Equine Affaire in West Springfield, MA.  We were not in the extravaganza called the Phantasia (!) but doing small, informal demonstrations near Tintagel’s gorgeous set up in C Barn.  We will all be back next year, so mark your calendars!

after the storm

Posted on by

Which storm?  The political one, Hurricane Sandy or the Northeaster that blew through last night?  All, I think, but mostly the former.

The truth is that I did not feel myself to be in a storm during the last two-and-a-half weeks in New Hampshire.  I felt myself sharply focused, with a precise and detailed job to do.  I felt battened down in the quiet, persistence of my own and others’ steady efforts.

Coming home, it feels a bit icy, slippery, hard to find my footing again.  What was I doing?  Where am I now?  Where are my campaign buddies?  In fact, I have a new perspective, some fresh ideas about how I would like to engage in the world. With the number of extraordinary women who are in office now, the expanding of marriage equality in Maryland and Massachusetts, and the second term of Barack Obama, there is a warm wind of change blowing through.  I can feel it pushing me forward.

Equine Affaire: tomorrow!

Posted on by

I will be joining Sarah Hollis of Tintagel Andalusians and her beautiful horses at Equine Affaire in West Springfield, MA all day tomorrow.  Sarah and her horse, Escorial, will be doing informal demonstrations of our dancing with horses work with dancers DeAnna Pellecchia and Ingrid Schatz throughout the day.

I will be available to talk about Embodied Horsemanship and you can schedule a private 15-minute session with me for either Tellington TTouch or Riding Wide Awake (on a physio ball).

We will be in C Barn all day, so please stop by!
