Horses have taught me so much in the time that I have spent with them. They have taught me about the power of authenticity, honestly, and integrity, and they have taught me the true meaning of leadership and relationship. They have also taught me about living in collaboration and community, rather than the model that our society embodies, which is about competition and “getting ahead of the rest”.

Elissa likes to take pictures. Mostly of the natural world, but really, of anything that catches her eye. She likes getting up close to things she loves.
