Dear Friends,
Sometimes a rescue begins in an unexpected place.

Two older mares — Lady and Rosebud — were discovered at a property just two miles from the C**T ranch, still waiting at the door for the owner who had passed away years earlier.

With their caretaker overwhelmed and the mares unable to load into a trailer, our team walked them the full two miles home, slowly and patiently, through traffic, barking dogs, and every uncertainty along the way.

Now at C**T, Rosebud is receiving treatment for pneumonia, and Lady is learning what it means to trust humans. Both will need time, veterinary care, and gentle, consistent relational work to feel safe again.

We call them the “Breadcrumbs” — because one small thing after another led them to us!

Now, they’re home.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll share more about their journey and what it will take to support their healing. For now, we simply want you to meet them — and to feel the quiet miracle of how they arrived.

With Deep Gratitude,
🌹 The Herd at C**T

Sometimes, what we need is to slow down and feel recognized -
To be seen through fresh, curious eyes.
To feel accepted right where you're at today!

Often, the horses help us see ourselves in a revitalizing way.
They love us for all that we've been through, just as we are now.
Slowing down is where the connection and healing begins.

"This Year of the Horse, Through The Eyes of Our Herd"

Dear Friends,
As the Lunar New Year begins, many people are celebrating the Year of the Horse — a symbol of movement, vitality, and renewal. It’s a beautiful moment of collective hope, and we love seeing people connect with the spirit of the horse in so many meaningful ways!

At C**T, we spend our days listening to our herd and learning from their rhythms. Their way of moving, relating, and healing offers a perspective that feels especially resonant this year. We’d love to share some of what we’ve witnessed in our work with horses.

In our March newsletter, we go more in-depth into 'What The Horses Teach Us' through slowing down & healing collectively...

“It is possible to speak with our heart directly. Most ancient cultures know this. We can actually converse with our heart, as if it were a good friend. In modern life we have become so busy with our daily affairs and thoughts that we have lost this essential art of taking time to converse with our heart.” - Jack Kornfield

We invite you to join us at the Sanctuary for the opportunity to slow down with the herd and have a conversation with your heart!

Dear Friends,
As we close out the year, we light our Chica candle in honor of our lead mare—whose steadiness, intuition, and quiet strength have guided so many people toward healing. She reminds us of what’s possible when we move with kindness and make space for warmth to enter, even in difficult seasons.

We’re grateful to share that we've reached our year‑end goal! 🎉 Your kindness keeps this work alive—steady and open to all who need it.

And as we step into the Year of the Horse—a symbol of courage, resilience, and forward motion—we hope that same sense of possibility and renewal finds its way to you.

Thank you for being part of this community, and for moving with us into what comes next. We’re wishing you a year filled with kindness, gentleness, and the courage to let the light come in.

With gratitude,
Erica, Joost, & the Herd
