Horse Sense for Young
Women
" I'm creating the possibility
of inspiring my peers that the new cool is consciousness"
Holland N. age 23 Horse Sense for Young Women™ participant
Alyssa asked me to select four horses from her
herd that I thought could help me with building trust. After
choosing the horse, she told me to halter and lead them each
one into the paddock.
The last horse I had selected was at the bottom
of the field.
As I was thinking about walking down to get him, a horse name
Tizzy came towards us- Alyssa saw something in Tizzy and said
she believed Tizzy was actively asking to be a part of our
session.

An

most things do, right?
Yesterday I went to a workshop on Equine Guided
Education at Medicine Horse Ranch in Tomales, CA. I wanted
to see it in practice. I wanted to feel what this thing is
that I have been reading so much about. My intentions in going
were to observe and perhaps make some new connections.

The Kids From Hill Middle School
On a frosty Saturday
morning in January, I stood shivering at the end of my driveway
in the drizzle as I watched the Novato Youth Center bus make
its way on the mile long driveway to my front door. The bus
carried 11 Latino boys and girls from Hill Middle School who
are participants in the Novato Youth Center’s outreach
Pregnancy Prevention Program.
Even before the bus came to a stop in
my driveway, I could here the sounds of elation from inside.
Listening to all the whooping and hollering you’d think
these kids had just seen a rock star instead of four lambs
grazing in my front yard.

On the last day of my 3- day workshop in January
( and in my last activity with the horses that day), my teacher,
Alyssa told me we were going to do an exercise about trust.
I was really interested; there are huge places in my life
where trust has affected me deeply.
