Horse travel experts gave us this explanation on what makes Active Travel Riding Trips as great as they are special. “We absolutely will not offer a trip unless we have been there ourselves. And you should further know that when we visit a location to decide if we will represent them, we also visit the other options in the area to make certain that we understand why our trip is superior. We make no exceptions to this rule, something no other company offering similar trips can “

You may have noticed that horses, dogs and all animal communications evolved to a new level this past summer. Even the renowned TIME magazine did a lengthy review on the subject.
Horse2Heart links you to messages from the amazing Healing Horses in Canada. They won an Independent Publisher’s Silver Medal Award for their book. The same award as the Dalai Lama and Depack Chopra received. Of course they needed to borrow some fingers to get it typed up so Liz Mitten Ryan extended hers. You can read their newsletter at this link : Yes, their photo is our contributing author Gerry Grant getting familiar with healing horse friend Miro.

Is it a Riding Adventure or a Dude Ranch?

My second visit to the Kay El Bar Guest Ranch was another all out riding adventure. This equestrian vacation is a classic southwest getaway to Wickenburg Arizona. The ranch belonged to actor Val Kilmer’s family during his youth. I renamed the black Quarterhorse I rode on Tripod because he was such an ace to film from. Our visit was only one night but I could have stayed a week. This place is magical, but don’t take my word, watch the video and go check it out. Dude, where’s my horse??

Horses are a passion. How deep it goes for each person is a personal thing. Whether we realize it or not they have something to teach us every time we are in their sphere of influence. Horse2Heart is composed of page after page of testimonials about the truth in that statement. Next couple of weeks Horse2Heart will be studying that very phenomena in Canada. You can see the program at Equinisity. The E.A.R.T.H. or Equine Assisted Re-connective Therapy and Healing Programs are a revolutionary new Personal Development seminar hosted by Liz Mitten Ryan, Author, Artist and Animal Communicator. Drop us a line and let us know your thoughts and personal equine assisted lessons in life. We’ll share ours on return from the shoot

For Dude Ranch or Horseback riding vacation first timers, Andy Curry sent us this riding instruction tip sheet to help everyone sit tall in the saddle.

 A.C Johnson from Larned, Kansas has
done what no one else has.

    He balanced an egg on on an ordinary
strand of very thin wire in Decmember of 1929.

    Not exactly a useful skill, but it
does illustrate balance very well.

    Balance is a key principle in all
things in life and is especially true when
riding a horse.

    Whether you’re riding to compete in the
horse world or you just want to have good
good riding skills, here are some guidelines.

Besides horse riding, you can try your hand at trout fishing in its lakes and rivers. The guests here stay in beautiful and comfortable farmhouses where the owners treat them like their own family.

The North Island has a temperate climate along with rich flora and fauna. This is good for those who love horses and animals and fascinating plants and trees.
