Where do Equus horses come from? Wendorf: There is nothing extraordinary about them except that they are kind and patient. Many are rescue horses, some have been abused, some are young, and others are old. The wonderful thing is that they don’t have to be flashy or particularly skilled—we work with retired horses, even blind horses.

How do you think the horses feel about all this? Wendorf: I’m convinced that the horses are aware of the work they are doing—and that they love it. We never use a horse unless he volunteers himself. Some of the horses hang over the fence and watch the workshops, then they show up at the gate after a few weeks, wanting to be a part of it. They enjoy being met authentically and without agenda—just like we would. Your relationships with horses will mirror every relationship—whether at work or at home—you will ever have.

Do you have any horses of your own? Wendorf: I have one, Artemis, and she is my greatest teacher. Half-day, one-day, and multiple-day programs are available at Bishop’s Lodge. Group pricing begins at $235 per person for a half-day workshop and $450 per person for a full-day workshop. Private sessions begin at $140 per hour.
