Trail Rides This is a beginning project to share ride specifics.
Bernie and I have ridden many wonderful trails in California, Colorado, Wyoming
and Idaho. You'll find trail information, descriptions, and a few photos.
Later you'll find maps and more trails. For now, the trails listed include some around Idyllwild,
from Reds Meadow and Agnews Meadow in the Sierra, and around Wawona in Yosemite. Please
consider the use of the word "horse" to include all equids.
Give us feedback and share other trail resources if you wish. Email if you
have any questions or suggestions.

Pegasus Center and Discovering Equus
Peggy
Macy Martin is Pegasus Center. Vickie Cottle
is Discovering Equus. Together and
individually we offer fun, reflective, exploring
adventures with horses as our partners.
Variously called Equine Facilitated Mental Health,
Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning, Equine
Assisted Activities, Equine Facilitated
Psychotherapy, they all ultimately mean the same
thing. Spending time with a horse in a new
way; not about horsemanship or riding as we
traditionally know it. Life may be
illuminated, you may find your true self, you may
relate to others in a new way, you may see life in
new colors. The horse opens the way. |

Harry Whitney: Peggy has written up her notes from several clinics
by Harry Whitney. The notes are his words,
as best recalled. Pieces may not make much sense unless you have seen Harry yourself, but taken as a whole, I
hope the notes offer you a picture to aid your relationship with your horse. It is said that we retain from 10-20% of
what we hear or read. Being able to read helps boost what we know. |

Gesa Brinks Equine Body Dynamic What can I say, Gesa is a healer.
So many times I wish we had taken videos before and
after. Her sense and connection to horses is
very special. Many horses have been
brought to trainers or "sent down the road" to
another owner simply because they were in pain.
Horses tell us how they feel through their behavior;
how else can they communicate with us? When we
"listen" we can help them be all they can be.
Pain interferes for horses and for people.
From minor aches that restrict full performance to
more major physical issues, Gesa can help your
horse. They'll feel better or at least you
will understand what is affecting your horse.
