Bridging Unicorns - Getting to Know Grant Recipient Bridgit Wald

Originally from Massachusetts, Bridgit Wald discovered horses when she was 6 years old. She was a self-described “sensitive, gifted type of kid” who found a sense of home with horses. She felt a powerful impact on her body, mind and heart by spending time with them.

After her passion for horses turned to the hunter and jumper show circuit, she took some time away to focus on college, but always knew she would find them again on a more consistent basis. Fast forward to living in New Zealand post graduation, Bridgit discovered forms of natural horsemanship and training that spoke to her. She realized horses have the ability to cross over into the worlds of yoga and dance, and experienced the connection animals have to healing ourselves and our relationship with the natural world.
