We're thrilled to have Cathy Mahon back at Meadows Center for Equine Connection for another great group event.

Horses don't negotiate. They don't flatter, manipulate, or pretend. They simply respond — honestly, immediately, and without judgment — to the energy and intention you brin

Did you know that one lesson can take up to four people to pull off? Not only do our skilled volunteers help to stabilize riders, lead horses, groom, tack up, and prep arenas, they also build meaningful relationships with our students, herd, staff, and one another. We love our volunteer community not just for the work they do, but for showing up with love and care. This is what it’s all about!

There’s no better view than between the ears of a horse! Riding our hardworking lesson horses outside of the arena helps to keep them curious, happy, and engaged. Friday sure loves to get out and explore!

Humans often think of connection as something that is verbal or cerebral. To connect means to be understood, and to be understood means to be seen and heard. But what about the ways we can make each other feel seen and heard without needing to explain ourselves?

Interspecies connection provides the opportunity to witness and be witnessed in our depth and entirety, beyond words and logic. This connection is deeply profound because it cannot be questioned— we cannot help but be seen by our more-than-human companions, and sometimes it’s as though they know more about us than we do ourselves. These relationships are deep, bodily, and beyond what words can describe. This is where the healing lies, especially for those who struggle to feel seen and heard in daily life.

If you feel called to this type of relationship, consider joining us for our upcoming retreat on May 31st: Being With: An Equine Mindfulness Retreat. Also, stay tuned for some exciting upcoming announcements as we prepare to launch new offerings throughout the Spring and Summer! There is a place for everyone at Meadows 💛

Spring is here. New grasses are pushing their way up, magnolia trees are blossoming, and the days are growing longer and warmer.

In the Spring, even the act of brushing out a horse’s shedding winter coat is a reminder of the nature of change. Horses don’t exert conscious effort to shed— rather, they trust in their body’s wise natural process to release what no longer serves them. Spring invites us all to trust, release, and make way for new blooms. Here’s Zuri doing just that!

Each lesson we offer is thoughtfully tailored to honor the emotional, mental, and physical needs of our students. We are so thankful for our instructors who cultivate spaces of connection!
