Here is the latest article from Paul Rest in San Francisco entitled "Kelly Allen: A martial artist making both a difference and big changes" which highlights Kelly Allen who is part of the Medicine Horse Ranch, a center for equine guided learning.
From the article: "Aikido has really changed my life, helped me to release old patterns. The little work I've done with horses has been a great mirror for areas I need to work on [and it is the] same with Aikido. Sometimes when working on an Aikido technique I can't seem to do, I can take that in the form of a question to a horse and get their perspective. Horses are amazing teachers and I find them very healing."
