70 SIDELINES OCTOBER 2014
FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE
Combining the two processes of ESCT (therapy for the horse)
and EPC (therapy for the human), Barbara helps create a sound
and trusting riding partnership between horse and human. Just
like her art, all proceeds from sales of books, tapes, clinics, demos
and seminars about ESCT are donated back to the horses at
Harmony HorseWorks sanctuary.
Ever since she was a little girl, Barbara has had a passion for
art, but it wasn’t until she was older that she realized her second
passion of rehabilitating rescue horses and providing them with a
second chance at life when no one else would. In purchasing one
of Barbara’s paintings, buyers are supporting the cause of saving
a horse from slaughter, neglect and abuse.
Barbara’s success in turning two of her biggest passions into
one very rewarding lifestyle is something to admire and strive for.
As the old saying goes, “If you do what you love, you’ll never work
a day in your life.”
