Curiosity Series | Video 1: The Walk
Summary:
Join Carol & Maeve as we explore what happens when we treat a simple walk with our horse as a conversation—one full of presence, questions, and listening.
In this first video of the Curiosity Series, we step into a practice that invites observation, intention, and co-creation. Walking with our horse becomes more than a means to an end—it becomes a space for subtle feedback, energetic awareness, and grounded connection.
This video follows a three-part structure to help guide your own exploration:
Preparation – Set your intention, arrive in presence, and create a space where curiosity can lead.
Explore – Walk with your horse as a conversation. Notice the nuances in pace, attention, and energy. What do you learn when you slow down?
Reflect & Reconnect – Pause. What did you feel? What shifted? How might you carry this awareness forward into your next interaction?
Carol’s footage brings these ideas to life, and the downloadable slides offer prompts to deepen your practice at your own pace.
Download the accompanying PDF slides + prompts in the Resource Barn for journaling and reflection.

Key Takeaways:
A walk can be a rich space for awareness—not just a means to get from point A to B.
You don’t have to end on a “good” note—you can end on an honest one.
Discomfort or challenge isn’t failure; it’s information.
Staying curious allows us to meet each moment with presence and flexibility.
Relationship grows in the quiet, in-between places, not just the obvious “training” moments.
