Got Really Emotional
Got really emotional in talking about my good traits. I busted through talking about my negative w/no emotion. When I was asked to pick 2 negatives that I wanted to let go of, I got really emotional. I wanted to get rid of unworthy and unloveable.

Felt Much Better Afterwards
I was having a hard time today and working with the horse it was evident we'd have to run, exercise, strongly communicate, and be direct. I wasn't in the mood but in order to see results in her actions I needed to. I felt much better afterwards, I didn't know I would but I guess she did.

Very Amazing Feeling
I was worried about messing up or failing in front of everyone. I took on the challenge and the connection with the horse was worth it. Watching the horse and its communication as well, was informing and interesting and connecting. I feel like I did the connection, leadership, communication and trust. It becomes her choice to connect and consent - steps/energy match is a very amazing feeling.

They Have Feelings Like We Do
My 1st time around horses with being here has been the best relaxation experience. I have a large respect for horses, not that I didn't before. Seeing how Barb the Mini Horse relaxed after contact shows that they have feelings like we do. Thank you.

Brought Me Back to Myself
That was a good exercise for me to write out the negative labels next to how I think of myself. The horse coming to me immediately calmed me and brought me back to myself. Petting the horse immediately calmed me inside drastically. Seeing the coyote was great.

Listen to Wind and Horses
I liked the journaling questions and the opportunity to sit and take care of myself only--and listen to wind and horses and watch them interact.
