Learning and Growing
When you know better, you do better. Everyone is in a different place in their horse care journey. I am a completely different horse person than when I was younger and I cringe to think of the things I did to horses during that time. I'm trying to keep in mind that we can only reflect and improve our behavior as new knowledge comes to light. However, it's on us to search out new information.
​
Lifelong learning is a foundational component to Ardani Farm. We host trainers, lectures, and other events to seek new perspectives and continually improve our horsemanship.
​
We are creating a library of knowledge at the farm and encourage boarders and others to borrow books and give us their thoughts upon completing them.

Braiding Sweetgrass
As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass , Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise" (Elizabeth Gilbert).
