We aren't training Horses. We are inviting them into a right relationship. 

Without a right relationship, we lose trust, predictability, and the power of partnership. 

EVERYTHING is built on the relationship we have with our Horse. If something isn't going well, it's not about enough training. It's about holes in the relationship. THAT'S what it means to regenerate and restore relationships.

How we do it

The W.H.A.R.M. method is our signature strategy in working with the ecosystem between Horses and Humans. Learn More.

What programs we offer:

Come learn at our onsite clinics with our Horses.

Engage with me on your property, with your Horse. 

We also offer periodic events to the public in various locations to showcase what we do and how we do it. 

Contact us to discuss your Horse needs or to invite us to your next event to showcase our work. 

Horse Alchemy

How we care for the Horses in our care is done as naturally as possible. 

We don't shoe, stall, or blanket them under most circumstances.

Our first form of intervention and support is herbal. We have a book coming out that gives you all the recipes and information we use to do that (with some info about other People support too!).

That's how we healed Moe. He was metabolic (blog here for more about that). It took us 10 years with herbal support and natural interventions to all but heal him. He has none of the outcomes or secondary decline that is generally associated with insulin resistance.

The Land we steward is 34 acres in the Highlands of Virginia. It is Land that has been highly impacted by Human infrastructure.

Old SR 250 runs through the property. Our driveway is asphalt with a double yellow line through it. When you walk the Land or dig somewhere or move something, you find evidence of the damage. Buried asphalt, road signs, guard rails, road debris and detritus all over the place. 

Additionally, when new SR 250 was built around the property, the side of the shale mountain across from our property was blasted, much of it changing the topography of what was here. There is a forest pond that is orange from the iron that runs through the shale. That pond has little life left in it (and is a future restorative project! Stay tuned).

How water moves, where there were valleys or hills, we don't really know. The goal is to look at the Land as a whole and find ways to create the best environment that supports her and the Humans who rely upon her. 

What does that look like? 

Regenerative agriculture. 

We are re-building the soil through compost, vermiculture, and no-till as we create food and medicinal growing spaces. 

Reducing the invasives by replacing them with indigenous plants that support soil, wildlife, air, and water. 

Creating/restoring food forests and meadows with native plants and fungi and pollinators and and and

Land Learning and Living

We offer classes and courses, live and virtual, to learn alongside us. We show you what we are doing, what we're learning - that includes the good, the bad, and the "it almost worked."

You can join us for our Medicinal Plants Workshop Series, a 3-part, onsite learning opportunity with Spring, Summer, and Fall classes. Click here for more information. 

You can also join us for our Community Gather & Work Days. We have them generally in the Spring and Fall. 

Meditation with Land and Horses for individuals or groups. Contact us here to schedule today.

We also have our Teaching the Next Generations Program piloting in the 2026-27 school year. Stay tuned for updates.
