The Peace Horse Project
The Peace Horse Project combines my passion for horses, enthusiasm for education of both horse and human and my desire to help others discover the many benefits of spending time in the presence of horses as partners and teachers on a path of self-discovery.
What we do is offer unique learning opportunities to help you reach your goals. Whether your goal is to build a better relationship with your horse through our workshops or horse/rider development programs or you are traveling down the path of personal discovery, building personal and professional skills through our Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) programs, The Peace Horse Project has much to offer you!
The mission of The Peace Horse Project is to open new pathways of communication and discovery with our horse partners. To share information and facilitate personal growth and learning while holding our equine friends in respectful regard as contributors and equal partners, not as objects to be used as a means to an end.
The vision is the eventual development of a physical location for The Peace Horse Center. A haven of spiritual health and wellness for both humans and horses.
