Learn to Attain & Maintain Gait

Stone Bridge Farm — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:32:48 +0000

Are you considering purchasing a Rocky Mountain Horse and want to learn more about Rocky Mountain Horses and their gait? Or, do you have a Rocky but do not feel you are able to achieve optimum gait? Contact Tamara at Stone Bridge Farm to spend a few hours or a few days leaning about Rocky Mountain Horses.

Tamara has bred, trained and sold Rocky Mountain Horses for the past 14 years. She has also been a gait Examiner for the Rocky Mountain Horse Association since 2006. Tamara utilizes natural methods to achieve gait and does not believe in harsh bits, unbalanced riding, or unnatural trimming or shoeing. Tamara can help you learn how to work with the horse to optimize movement and increase enjoyment for yourself and the horse.

You may work with the Rockies at Stone Bridge Farm or make arrangements to bring your own horse. If you stay for a full day or more you are welcome to stay in one of our trailers. Trailers are equipped with a working kitchen. Bring and prepare your own food throughout the duration of your stay.

See “Customize Your Horse Experience” for more details. Contact Tamara to schedule or for more information.

Up until a few days ago, I’ve been resisting popular culture and the whole social networking experience. I’ve given in and created a Facebook page for myself and for Stone Bridge Farm (www.facebook.com/stonebridgefarm). And….It has been fun! Connecting with old friends and making new……I’m an official Facebook convert and fan If you have a chance, visit our page and “like us” on Facebook.

Meet Max

Stone Bridge Farm — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:01:25 +0000

We are very happy to welcome Max into our family and wish to extend a big thank you to Debbie Spalding! Debbie opened her heart and home to Max after she found him abandoned near her home last summer. Max is most likely 1 year old. He is adorable, affectionate, cuddly, and very happy! He is a spaniel, but we are not sure what kind. He is 25lbs and a bundle of love!

Debbie and her husband adore Max but wanted to find him a home with children and fewer dogs since they already have three. Max joined us at Stone Bridge Farm on January 10, 2012 and we couldn’t be happier!

Epona Approved Instructor

Stone Bridge Farm — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:27:15 +0000

In February 2011 Tamara began the Epona Apprenticeship Program along with 11 other women from across the United States and around the world. The program offered the opportunity to learn directly from Linda Kohanov, best-selling author and thought leader in the field of Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning.

During the course of the apprenticeship, Tamara learned and practiced the art of employing horses in the work of human development using the Epona Approach™.

The program concluded in September 2011 and now Tamara is an Epona Approved Instructor and will begin offering unique vacation experiences which combine her love of trail riding and the art of Equine Facilitated Learning.

International Team

Stone Bridge Farm — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:00:24 +0000

An international team of Epona Approved Instructors will offer a selection of vacation experiences in the spring, summer, and fall 2012. The vacations are entitled Riding into Awareness, Riding to the Leader Within, and Fall Reflections on the Trail. The vacations will all be offered through Equine Connection@ Stone Bridge Farm, in Minnesota USA.

Felicity Glenister (United Kingdom) and Tamara Callstrom (United States) will co-facilitate the vacations offered in the spring and fall. The two women have both been actively involved with horses over the course of their lives, but in different ways. Felicity has trained in BSJA (British Show Jumping Association) and BD (British Dressage) from a very early age while Tamara’s love and experience is on the trail. The combination of traditional and experiential backgrounds will blend nicely to support clients through a week of riding and expansive personal experiences.

Marina Parris (Switzerland) and Tamara Callstrom (United States) will co-facilitate Riding to the Leader Within July 22-27, 2012. Both Marina and Tamara have extensive experience with horses and with business. While co-facilitating, they will utilize knowledge and experience from both to guide and support clients through six days of riding, relaxing and strengthening leadership skills. Marina is fluent in both German and English.
