In the world of horsemanship, understanding the intricate workings of the equine mind is paramount.

Enter "Horse of a Different Color," a pioneering organization dedicated to equine education and brain-centered horsemanship.

At the helm of their transformative clinics is Jennifer Currie, equestrian, author, and Equine-Education Consultant, whose expertise in educational neuroscience drives their mission of building safe and trusting horses.

Currie's approach is grounded in the principles of educational neuroscience, emphasizing the importance of understanding both the horse and human brain.

Through this lens, she has found that by leveraging this knowledge, trainers and riders can tailor their approaches to be more effective and compassionate, ultimately leading to better outcomes and a deeper connection between them.

Joining Currie is Wendy Shaffer, a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner, whose knowledge of the mind and body brings a holistic dimension to the clinics.

Shaffer enlightens on the ways in which our horses “talk” to us, raising awareness of the instinctual body language horses display.

Together, they form an incredible duo, educating on "The whole horse" – encompassing both mental and physical aspects.

Their clinics, aptly named "Two Minds, One Mission," offer a unique opportunity for horse enthusiasts to delve into the fascinating world of brain-centered horsemanship.

Participants learn how to foster safe and trusting relationships with their equine partners by gaining insights into the inner workings of the horse's brain and body.

The clinics incorporate ground and obstacle work to build connection, communication, and conversation with horses.

Through hands-on demonstrations and interactive sessions, attendees learn practical skills and techniques to apply in their own horsemanship adventure.

The impact of "Two Minds, One Mission" extends far beyond the clinic arena, as participants leave empowered with newfound knowledge and confidence in their ability to communicate effectively with their horses.

With Currie and Shaffer leading the charge, the journey towards building safe and trusting relationships between humans and horses becomes an inspiring and transformative experience for all involved.

Grey Mare Health & Wellness, Inc. offers rejuvenation for body and soul to help equestrians hustle and thrive!

As Equestrians, we’re undoubtedly blessed to spend our lives with horses, but it’s not an endeavor for the faint of heart…it’s a life often filled with long hours and hard work!

For some, their days are filled with managing a farm, teaching lessons and training and caring for horses, often late into the evening.

Others spend long hours in front of their computer, hit the gym before or after work, and then make time to ride and care for their horses.

And of course, there are household responsibilities, meals to shop for and prepare, family activities, the list goes on- It’s a giant balancing act and, I know from experience, it can be exhausting!

Over the years, I recognized the importance of offering my clients healthy options to improve energy and focus, to help them sleep well, to control stress, maintain a healthy weight and boost their immune system.

As some of you know, for many years, I’ve offered massage therapy and Magnawave / pemf, for both horses and equestrians.

In 2018, I completed an Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching certification, and I’m pleased to announce that I’ve recently added a nutrition assessment option to my list of services.

And of course, I’m coupling that with a high quality line of products perfect for hard working equestrians!

The sports nutrition line I’m offering is comprised of organic, real food (not synthetic!) ingredients that can be traced from seed to package.

It addresses daily nutrition, hydration, healthy digestion, immunity, stress relief, good quality sleep, improved energy and amazing skin care !

I’m excited to share these new options with you!

I’ve been a horse owner and avid equestrian since childhood and I know the importance of making your health and well-being a priority so you can enjoy the life with horses that we all dearly love!

Choose Quality Grooming Products from Eqyss: Because Every Pet Deserves the Best

For most horse owners, the love of animals doesn’t stop at the barn.

It’s incredibly common for equestrians to share their lives not only with horses but also with dogs, cats, and other beloved pets.

In fact, for many, the bond with animals runs deep across species — whether it's the dog trotting beside the trailer, the cat lounging in the tack room, or the horses grazing in the pasture.

With so many four-legged family members depending on us, choosing high-quality grooming products becomes more than a luxury — it’s a responsibility.

Pets deserve the same level of care and attention we give our horses: products that are safe, effective, and made from trusted ingredients.

Harsh chemicals, heavy residues, and synthetic additives can do more harm than good, leading to dry skin, irritation, and dull coats.

That’s why selecting professional-grade grooming products from Eqyss, like those designed for both horses and companion animals, is essential.

Gentle, botanically-based formulas not only enhance coat health and appearance but also promote overall well-being — ensuring your animals look and feel their best, every day.

When you care for horses, you understand the value of quality.

Extending that same care to the pets that share your life is the natural next step.

Because every animal you love deserves to be groomed with the very best.”
