During a meditation a few years ago, a vision of horses came to me. It was so striking that I consulted a friend about it, and she intuitively guided me to The Resonant Horse. She said, I have a feeling Mindy is who you are looking for. As a result, I experienced a profound healing in my first horse circle during my father’s transition. One horse came up from behind me and knowingly placed his head on my shoulder; the connection between our hearts was so moving that tears began streaming down my face. Something shifted within me, and what I experienced in that moment provided a unique, loving strength to face the heartbreak of my loss. Over the last three years, I’ve brought others to experience the huge love and the resulting healing that occurs during horse circles. The experience is transformative: silent observance of the horses’ natural ways opens one’s heart to compassionate, gentle, understanding and acceptance of oneself and others. I am truly grateful for Mindy’s life-changing work with her magnificent horses.

There is so much to learn in the workshops. Horses are not just for riding, they are for learning - about ourselves. I've attended many workshops as I like the challenge of whatever exercise that Mindy has established, or theme to be enveloped within the learning. My very first workshop - we were asked to get the horse (Rocky) to move. We had instructions on how to get the horse to move. My horse wouldn't move. I had to do something, but I didn't know what it was. What I had to do was ASK FOR HELP. Something in my life that is very hard for me to do. And horse-Rocky was just waiting there patiently until I got the help I needed. It was a tearful and joyful moment. Witnessing a horse using his patience, for a new friend in me, and accepting my challenge at the time. Over the years - yes years - that I've been attending the Resonant Horse, I have become very attracted to spending time with the horses. I love their personalities, their comical ways, watching who's in charge, how the energy shifts, and oh how beautiful they are when they start to run. The herd is a continuing presence in my life, when I'm at the farm or not.

Transformational work with horses offers such an enriching experience that is not to be missed. Such an experience is enhanced because of Mindy's unique connection with both horses and people.

When I signed up for Mindy's workshop, I had absolutely no experience with horses. Through the understanding of horse behavior and shared discussions, I was able to connect emotionally with Mindy and her wonderful horses. It was a very empowering experience!

The workshop was so much more than I expected, so much more than words can express. I learned so much not only about horses but myself and life. I experienced so many feelings in one day and most of it staring in to the eyes of a 1250 lb horse. It was raw, beautiful, amazing, wild and an absolute blessing! I will never forget this day and will relive it until it fades in my memories. And even though I cried in front of strangers SEVERAL times it didn’t bother me…I was HEALING! Regards to you Mindy and your unconditionally loving horses.

Mindy Chernoff works magic in her leadership development workshops and retreats. By teaching us how to connect with horses, she connects us with our own emotions--our compassion, hope, and joy. The experience helps us to see how powerful our feelings really are, and how they impact everyone around us. I found the workshop I attended to be one of the most memorable and impactful learning experiences ever.

Mindy is fantastic when working with children and teaching them about leadership using their softs skills and incorporating her horses for the experience. Our group had a wonderful time at her farm. They had an opportunity to brush the horses, and lead them, all while incorporating leadership. Mindy and her staff were so attentive to the children: I would highly recommend this farm for children and adults to embrace their soft skills through horses. The concept is amazing!!!

As a woman who has dealt with depression and anxiety for many years, I was not sure anything could truly help me. Having known and loved Mindy and her work with horses for a long time, I was encouraged when she started The Resonant Horse, as it reflected my lifelong love for horses. Whether actively riding or not, just being in the barn, pastures and in their presence, i found focus and peace of mind. The classes and workshops gave me an opportunity to pause and reflect. The work we did enabled me to understand myself better and realize that opening my heart and mind to new ways of thinking in a safe space was healing for me. Today I have reached an amazing place in my life. It is one of acceptance, calm, peace, and appreciation of every day--in fact--every moment. This is not to say everything is perfect--it is not. But my ability to find joy in small moments, and celebrate the process instead of the outcome, has become a way of life.

My way of being in the world has been changed by Mindy and the horses. They have taught me to stop, notice, do what is needed (if anything) and go back to “grazing”. Staying in the moment has given me a sense of peace and easing of worry that has been life-changing. Thank you!

Mindy taught me that horses change lives. Is it possible? They have taught me to try and be still, to be present, and to not listen to the negative inner voice.

Mindy has a keen attunement to horses and the relationship between horses and humans. She is masterful at promoting a nurturing and accepting context that elicits confidence and competence in people of all ages. To be a student or an apprentice of hers or simply an observer of her healing and transformative work with humans through their interaction with horses is a magical experience!

Mindy Chernoff is a human bridge to the healing power of horses. Her knowledge, skill, understanding, compassion, and wonderful spirit has been instrumental in helping clients I know who were suffering and disconnected from other people – opening up the world of relationships as she partners with her horses. I highly recommend her to anyone who is suffering and having difficulties in their lives. A wonderful adjunct to traditional psychotherapies.

I never imagined learning to ride a horse at age 52! This is my graduate school! It is continuing education with everyday life lessons! It strengthens me physically emotionally and spiritually.
