Agenda
First 15 Minutes: Meet the Herd
Pull up your lawn chair and settle into our cozy circle—this is your time to relax and just breathe. As you stand by the fence, you’ll get to meet our wonderful horses. Notice which curious faces come over to say hello—maybe you’ll get a gentle nuzzle, a friendly lick, or even reconnect with a horse you’ve met before. The magic is, every “Meet the Herd” is a little different, and every visit is special because of the energy you bring to it.
60 Minutes: Guided Meditation
Let’s journey inward together. You’ll be guided through a calming meditation, with moments of peaceful silence and the chance to share your thoughts if you’d like. Surrounded by the gentle presence of the herd, you’ll find it easy to relax and connect with yourself.
Last 15 Minutes: Take Your Time
There’s no rush as we wrap up. Take all the time you need to come back to the present moment, say your goodbyes to our horses (and new friends!), and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. If you need to head out right away, that’s perfectly okay too—this experience is all about what feels right for you. We can’t wait to welcome you to the herd!
"So relaxing, grounding, and incredibly supportive. The horses were magical and incredibly powerful. I loved hearing all their different sounds as they encircled us."​
Brenda Junkin
Joe and I had a wonderful horse meditation experience. It was relaxing and relieved a lot of stress mentally as well as physically. I received much needed healing for a knee that has been a problem for a long time."
Linda Sweet
"Andrea, with her soft, gentle voice and expertise, guided us through a meditation. Even though the air was chilly, our hearts were warmed by the environment, the stillness and these two beautiful women facilitating the event."

Meditating with Horses to Gently Release Childhood Trauma; a message from Andrea Robin Skinner
Physical, sexual and emotional trauma from childhood can lead to self-neglect and illness later in life. Our creativity, love and joy can be hidden away as we stay on high alert in adulthood, feeling overwhelmed, isolated and exhausted.
The good news is that there are so many valuable self-care techniques and therapies today to help us heal.
I believe time with horses can support any path we are on. The reason I turn to the horses is they remind me that healing is not only possible, but an unstoppable aspect of the life force. The energy of the horses is so powerful and kind, I feel my own power and compassion meet theirs. The healing impulse within us is as strong as the impulse to breathe, and all that is needed is to allow what is natural, what is already happening, to happen. Just breathe.
Horses have helped me to let go of fear, go at my own pace, trust myself, stop trying so hard, and respond to the moment rather than rehearsing my lines, my next move. Horses teach that life is love. Everything flows from there.
I hope you will join us at the farm!
