Anamchara is Gaelic meaning Soul Friend. A soul friend remains steadfast at my side and encourages me to take the next step in my development and learn to be authentic and my true self.  At Anamchara Stables we believe that horses can be our soul friends who patiently encourage us to take the next step in our development.
