Manitou, among some Native American groups, is the feeling or belief that an all-embracing spirit/energy fills the world and every thing in it.  Manitou also often refers to the concept of the interconnection and balance of nature and life.

Horse and Spiral Logo:  The horse is respected for his power and freedom.  The intuitive nature of the horse helps to show us how to share, learn, and grow without restriction.  The spiral is an ancient symbol reflecting the universal pattern of growth and evolution.  The spiral represents an ongoing process of discovery, community, and the essence that connects all things.

“I was on a favorite horse, Manitou, a wise fellow,
with nerves not to be shaken by anything…in Manitou I had
perfect trust…and he stood steady as a  rock.”
