My Story
Meet Eva
My journey with horses began when I was ten years old in Mallorca, Spain. I spent every opportunity I could cleaning stalls, grooming horses, and simply being in their presence. From those early days, I knew horses would always be part of my life. Over the years, my curiosity grew into a lifelong search to understand not only how horses learn, but how they experience the world.
The moment I realized horses would become my life’s work came years later, when my son was six years old. A friend of his, who was autistic, came to ride a pony we were leasing. As he sat on the pony, I watched him make eye contact with his mother and smile in a way she had never experienced before. Witnessing that connection between a child, a horse, and his mother touched me deeply. I knew then that one day I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others experience the transformative connection horses can offer.
Through the years, I explored many approaches to horsemanship, but what continued to guide me was something deeper than technique. Horses taught me that they are inseparable from nature. They live in harmony with the rhythms of the land, the herd, the changing seasons, and the natural cycles of light and rest that shape all living beings. They remind us of the importance of our own circadian rhythms and invite us to slow down, become present, and reconnect with the natural world.
I believe horses are here to help us remember that connection. They show us that nature is not something we simply observe, but something we belong to. When we learn to listen, soften, and let go of force, horses invite us into a relationship built on trust, respect, and partnership.
The most meaningful part of my work is watching someone truly see a horse as an individual. In that moment, everything changes. The relationship moves beyond control and expectations and becomes a connection based on mutual understanding. I believe every horse deserves to be seen, heard, and respected, and I feel grateful to share that journey with others.
Meet The Herd!
Chulita
Chulita is our lead mare and the heart of the herd. She came into my life when she was only 6 months old and is now 19 years old. Together we've shared an incredible journey. We once competed in Western Dressage, but these days our greatest joy comes from working together at liberty. Chulita helped me raise my children, supported me through life's challenges, and has taught me more about patience, leadership, and love than I could have imagined.
Valiente
Valiente is a 7 year old Andalusian gelding and Gala's half brother. He has been part of our herd since he was just 6 months old, and from the very beginning I felt there was something special about him. Sweet, curious, and incredibly willing, he has been raised using the Carolyn Resnick Method, where trust and partnership come before control. Most of our work together happens at liberty, allowing our relationship to grow through choice rather than force. Watching Valiente develop into the horse he is today has been one of the greatest joys of my journey.
Portia Gala White Feather
Gala joined our herd a little over a year ago after a friend was considering selling her. She is Valiente's half sister and brings a wonderful mix of kindness, confidence, and just the right amount of sass. Our journey together wasn't always easy, so I made the decision to send her to Carolyn Resnick for six months of training. The transformation has been incredible. Today, Gala is calm, willing, and a true partner. She continues to teach me just as much as I teach her, and I'm grateful every day that she became part of our family.
Benito
Benito is our 11 year old miniature donkey and one of the biggest personalities in the herd. He joined our family when he was just 6 months old to keep Chulita company during a time when she was struggling with anxiety. His name means blessing, and that couldn't be more fitting. Gentle, brave, and endlessly entertaining, Benito quickly became an important part of our family. He has brought comfort, laughter, and companionship not only to Chulita but to everyone who spends time with him.
