Meet Pamela L. Maynard, Phd
"The one thing that has been true for me is my passion and devotion to the horse. One of the biggest challenges I have overcome in my life with horses was letting go of the "norm" and what other people believed to be acceptable for the horse and step into my intuitive truth that knew deep down what was for the highest good of the horse's mind, body, and spirit."
Hi! I'm DR. PAMELA ~
"THE PASSION-DRIVEN EQUINOLOGIST"
I am the founder of CONSCIOUS HOOFBEAT
Creator of the RIDING AFTER 40 PROJECT
Developer of the INTUITIVE WELLNESS PROCESS
As a professional equine and health educator, published author and researcher, and certified equine bodyworker, some say I'm a fanatic. But really, I'm just horse crazy like you! ; )
In addition to my academic credentials, I'm a wanna be vegan who believes in women's rights and being a voice for the horse. I wholeheartedly know that our health is very much interconnected with the health of our horses and is why I am so passionate about preventive health & wellness. Along with my inner health work, horses are my spiritual, contemplative practice and the barn is my church. When I'm not recording podcasts, writing about horses or riding horses, you can find me happily perfecting my poop cleaning skills while taming feral cats!
