Beautiful Brokenness Ministries
Join us for the Foundations 101 Launch Party on May 2. We will stream live on Facebook at 4:00 PM. I will give away books, scholarships and more!
What does it mean to belong to Love?
I loved God, but often, I felt distant, alone and disconnected. I knew there was more to this Abundant Life Jesus promised. I just didn’t know how to walk in it.
My horse though … he felt close, warm and real.
“Ask the animals and let them teach you…” Job 12:7
What can horses teach me? Horses have taught me what it means to belong to Love.
Connection over performance.
“I am the vine, you are the branches… Apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
Transformation flows out of union. Apart from Him I can do no thing.
Presence before progress.
“Apart from Me, you can do nothing” John 15:5
When I try to live this life as though I am separate from Him (the very source of Life) I will experience futility.
Trust the heart of the Rescuer.
This is heart of it. Trust. Rest. What does that look like?
My horse shows me. I see and feel what it means to belong to Love.
What happens in my horse’s nervous system when he believes that I am the source of safety? That I am enough for him? He rests.
What happens in my soul when I believe that Jesus is my Source of Life? That He is enough for me internally and eternally. Not just to get to Heaven, but in each heart beat.
I can rest.
Living from God’s Abundant Life changes me so profoundly that even my horse can see it. His Peace changes my nervous system. Operating from my New Life in Jesus allows me to approach my horse in a different way. I don’t NEED my horse to do anything. My horse needs me. I love Scooter, and I want him to know that. I am able to provide leadership in a way Scooter can recieve.
Jesus broke the law of sin and death. The law of sin and death no longer owns me or defines me. Jesus did that ~ for me and for you!
I want my horse to know that I have broken the law of predator and prey. Not everywhere, but between me and Scooter, the law of predator and prey is obliterated. By me ~ for Scooter.
This is how brokenness is beautiful.
Welcome to the journey!
I will see you in the round pen.

Equine Assisted Discipleship® weaves together faith and horsemanship in a way that helps humans and horses experience connection, trust, and leadership through relationship ~ not fear or performance based acceptance.
Many of us learned to strive for peace instead of receive it.
We learned to manage our behavior instead of being held in Love.
I loved God , yet I felt exhausted, disconnected, and unsure of how to rest in Him.
Beautiful Brokenness is not about fixing myself. It’s about remembering what is already true.
I am who I am because of Whose I am.
I am His.
If you would like to see how this beautiful metaphor plays out in real life, visit Find Your Path and watch the video. This is a 15 minute presentation from the day I started Scooter, my little red horse, in the round pen. This process is sometimes called, “breaking a horse”. Ugh. What a terrible term. I think From Fear to Found will change the way you see Life.
I guarantee it!
“Katy’s program has transformed our sessions. We now have verbiage to communicate our New Life in Christ to our students. Whether you are taking Katy’s course for personal reasons, or to work with others, you will experience a deeper walk with Jesus.”
“Working with Katy has changed the way I see everything. From horses to round pens, I see His fingerprints everywhere. Now, when I feel anxious or confused, I ask Jesus. And He speaks Truth to my soul. It’s so simple but not easy. Those old busyness patterns are strong. My horse helps me see the simplicity of resting, heart beat by heart beat.”
