ANNOUNCING THE NEW TRUE CONNECTION FAMILY !
ANNOUNCING THE NEW TRUE CONNECTION FAMILY
True Connection Horse Academy is the decades-long culmination of my journey to find connection with horses on the deepest, most fulfilling level possible. Along the way, I relied on the wisdom of great mentors to lead me, my intuition to guide me, and the horses themselves to teach me their language. No-one – including me – travels this road alone. That’s why I am excited beyond words to introduce you to the True Connection Horse Academy family of teachers and mentors. Together, we’ll help you forge a bond with your horse that’s unbreakable.
Over the course of the next few weeks, we’ll meet each of these talented horsewomen and men in greater detail, but for now, here’s a tease:

Lauren Cryan
True Connection Clinician in Children’s program

She’s been deeply involved in the work of rescuing animals, and is a teaching professional, specializing in early childhood and special education K-8.
