This chipper little guy!

Been loving the days providing companionship & Reiki at Second Stride's Moserwood. Located in the Prospect area, this is an Aftercare facility where horses transition from the racetrack to second careers or retirement.

Looking to adopt? Follow Second Stride, Inc. for available horses. 💜

Discover the Transformative Power of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) with Spirited Awake.

At Spirited Awake, we offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), a powerful, evidence-based approach to healing and growth. Certified in the Eagala model, we facilitate profound therapeutic experiences that go beyond traditional talk therapy.

Unlike conventional settings, EAP creates a unique space for clients to explore emotions, build awareness, and accelerate progress—all through the wisdom and presence of horses. These gentle guides help uncover deeper insights, fostering breakthroughs that might take much longer in a standard therapy environment.

Backed by Research, Rooted in Healing
The efficacy of EAP is well-documented, with studies supporting its benefits for emotional and psychological well-being. A groundbreaking study by renowned experts Drs. Jane and Allan Hamilton highlights the profound impact of equine-assisted therapy, particularly for individuals navigating PTSD.

Experience the synergy of science and spirit—where evidence-based practice meets the healing power of connection.

Truly a pleasure to travel out to the Frankfort and Kentucky River area today to teach a groundwork and horsemanship lesson for my friend Shelly & her companion, ex-racehorse Roar. I have missed teaching both groundwork and riding and will jump at any chance I get these days to do it!

Thanks to Dr. T at Cedar Fire Farm LLC for the use of her horses and facilities! 💖🐎

This is very special.

My relations and another piece of lineage: Tsalagi/Cherokee Paint Clan. Specific, my 8th great grandmother Nionee Oille Ani Wa Ya of the Paint Clan and her mother, Ooloosta Ani Wa Di 'Polly' of the Paint Clan. Nionee married Chief Attakullakullah and Polly Chief Oconostota.

Paint Clan are one of the Tsalagi clans - there are seven - and the only ones allowed to make the medicinal red dye or, wodi. Paint Clan is English; Aniwodi or ᎠᏂᏬᏗ is the Cherokee name. Paint Clan are the medicine people, the herbalists, the seers, the conjurors, and the most secretive of the clans. They evolved from the Hawk clan.

Thank you for letting me share my medicine with you. 🙏🤚

Another wonderful review for Spirited Awake Equine! These readings are extremely popular and can be done virtually from a photograph which makes them even better. All you need is $65 exchange investment for insights (it can be a LOT of information) in about half an hour. This is one of my most special gifts and it is an honor each time to share what comes through.** 💖🐴

Thank you for the offers already coming in from people who would be eager to host Eagala sessions with suitable horses at their barns!

My business model is currently designed as a mobile therapy unit, allowing us to go safely and freely from barn to barn using horses on your property. Hosting Eagala sessions provides an increase in revenue to your barn as well, without much fuss; all we need is a quiet place (arena or round pen) to go with relative privacy.

I know times are tough and every penny helps. If you are unsure if your place is a fit for the Eagala model, I am also offering to come out and do a free assessment of the space. Holistic, inclusive, and win-win are hallmarks of this venture! ;)

After five years of wishing and working and saving $$ - I can say I've been trained in the model of Eagala. This is just the beginning. I learned SO much.

You don't really need my face in this one. The horses are the stars of the show, and they are why we do this work! 💜🐴👑 Thank you thank you thank you!!!
