More freedom | More joy | More horse
I spent 2 months in southern California this winter and was horrified to see so much ranch land replaced with monoculture, barren-ecosystem vineyards! The wine industry has obviously exploded from when I was last there 16 years ago. However, IRead more
Join me for another Livestream from the Singing Horse Ranch where I show you how we feed out hay to support soil development, increase the soil microbiome and promote the mycorrhizal network. Which means better forage growth and less ‘weeds’!Read more
After 3 months of peace and quiet, all of a sudden we have a string of issues at the Singing Horse Ranch. The sheep are being attacked by coyotes, our Kangal pup is too young yet to do a goodRead more
Sometimes I am just overcome with the beauty of this 160 acre ranch in the Canadian wilderness, near Vernon BC. The beauty of the horses against the backdrop of huge mountain ranges and old-growth forests is arresting. While the challengesRead more
My CAT skidsteer has died and it’s time for a replacement machine that can do all the tasks around the 160 acre Singing Horse Ranch near Vernon, Canada. Moving/stacking hay bales up to 1300 lbs, snowplowing the 1km long driveway,Read more
Zorra has separated herself from the herd. She stands motionless and silent and doesn’t eat for days. The herd responds in a puzzling manner. What is going on and is Zo contemplating or preparing to transition? Note: From the timeRead more
At the Singing Horse Ranch our entire house is heated by a wood furnace. So every year we have to fill the woodshed by cutting down ‘dead standing’ trees from around the ranch. I’ll show you how we choose whichRead more
My cousin Katrina heads out with a bag of apples – no whip, no quirt – to see if she can distribute them to the herd and keep calm. Then we visit the horses at the waterhole, Makah checks outRead more
I’m sitting down on a rock in the middle of the west field at the Singing Horse Ranch, when suddenly the horses become aware of my presence…. and they come running to investigate. Of course they then want me toRead more
We’ve got a Singing Horse Ranch smorgasbord for you in this one; some sheep, some cows, some horses, a few dogs and our friend, Raven. It’s Spring and Cece has just given birth to twin lambs. Right now, raven isRead more
I have done a trade with one of my neighbours: He gets grazing land for his cattle, and I get hay for my horses and sheep. Even more importantly, the cows can eat a whole bunch of plants that theRead more
The horses have some pretty strong opinions about the pristine fresh mountain water filling their trough. Posa is particularly demonstrative and decides to help make it better. Meanwhile, my welder guy is out repairing the wood boiler and a hayRead more
Those of you who watched the marathon video of Kaliah using trailer loading to teach us energetic concepts; like manifesting, non-attachment, and removing internal blocks/saboteurs – over a period of TWO WEEKS. Might just be a little amazed at ourRead more
Let me tell you a story about how intention (law of attraction), regenerative farming, gratitude and wild sheep all come together to create a miracle. AND – wait for the plot twist at the end! As I said in theRead more

One thing I’ve learned from trailering these formerly wild, empowered horses multiple times over the last 8 years… is it ain’t never about the trailer! Because trailer loading is a highly charged, agenda-driven space and these spiritual masters in horseRead more
Who knew that introducing sheep to the ranch would be such a big deal for the horses and the dog pups? These are fairly wild sheep from a wilderness ranch further north, so I think they have a good chanceRead more

Sunday afternoon Horse TV and the herd has some pertinent messages for us on manifesting; how to hold our intention/desires for maximum effect. And secondly, how a herd functions when some members have different desires – how can we applyRead more
What happens when we decide to bypass the ego mind, and follow our body’s desires instead? Horse herds are a great space to practice connecting to our body’s wisdom and desire – because horses are SO 100% in their bodies.Read more
A snowy afternoon with the Singing Horse Herd; telepathic versus physical communication. Why and when do I use each method? I also show you what it’s like to hang out with the herd – what the herd expects of humansRead more
Just as many of your feel the horses during your meditations, or connect with them during the dreamtime – it’s the same for me. I don’t physically need to be with them either. Also observe my dog Kumba and Makah-MahpeeRead more
Join me at the Singing Horse Ranch as we go out to commune with the land – what does it want to show us, or communicate today? Let’s connect with fungi and explore her role in this ecosystem and howRead more
I’m outside the back of the house, loading up the outdoor wood furnace with large chunks of fir when I notice that all the horses have come down from the far fields and are clustered around the house gate. It’sRead more

This short yet powerful heart opening meditation was led by human and animal soul whisperer, Ginny Jablonski. It was part of our Land Gathering Ceremony – that Juno and Montaro asked us to hold with the herd’s Apprentices. Juno wokeRead more
When I first bought the Singing Horse Ranch, back in August 2021, the land had been terribly overgrazed by cattle for 15 years straight. The first thing the land asked of me was, “No more cows!!” So I gave upRead more
I wake up to see most of the herd in the red arena, just below my bedroom window. Montaro immediately catches my attention – standing separate, leg cocked, relaxed, yet intensely focused on the herd. What is going on? PartsRead more
An inside look at how I dialogue with the herd and everybody gets to have a voice and a choice, not just me. When we have the trust in ourselves to step outside of dominance/control, and into collaboration with ourRead more
My domestic-born purebred Andalusian, Zorra, moved to the Singing Horse Ranch with us in August and I have to say, she’s had as much difficulty adjusting as we have! Zorra arrived at the ranch and I unloaded her into theRead more
Siyone literally ordered me outside on the porch to film this teaching from her to all of us. She proceeded to give us a brilliant live demo of how to ask the universe for what you want with right energy.Read more
Makah and Siyone are the latest herd members to go up to the Singing Horse Ranch – so I did a YouTube livestream after settling them in their own field. My policy is that even if horses have only beenRead more
If you’ve been following Cobra’s healing journey on the blog here (or on YouTube), you’ll remember that Cobra lived wild on the range for the first seven years of his life, then he was captured and kept in a smallRead more
We have now been on the could-be-kicked-off-at-any-minute land for almost 7 years. We have since made a couple of good property investments and the equity in our home, combined with the increased growth in our business, means that we canRead more
First we had Omar and Raven… now we’ve got another two horses on the move. But with these two, I’m pretty sure you already know who they are! It’s time to leave Kesia’s place, even though Jax decides to stayRead more
When I lost the lads to Kispiox, two years ago, what made it bearable was Juno saying to me the night before they left, “None of us wants to go. It’s what needs to happen for the next piece toRead more
Continuing on from Part 1… Those of you who have followed the Empowered Mustang saga, will remember that I never intended to bring the new wildies – Kaliah and her herd – here to my already-crowded, rented land in theRead more
The journey to manifest our own land for the Singing Horse Herd starts waaay back. Although to be honest, we started trying to find/buy land 6 years before I even got Zorra. I’ve been tracking this journey – otherwise there’sRead more
We had a big exchange going on the LTYH Facebook page a while ago about getting Listen To Your Horse t-shirts. We ran a poll, then went back and forth about colors (no white!)… and then covid hit. I alsoRead more
If you’ve read Isabella Tree’s fabulous book, WILDING, then you already know about Knepp Estate and it’s re-wilding project. Isabella and her husband converted their 3500 acre conventional dairy farm to wild land, populating with keystone species and letting NatureRead more
It all started when one of our lovely horse listeners, Maya Kruger, sent me some amazing fan art of the horses – digital art she’d created from some of Kesia’s photographs… When I shared them on our Facebook page, peopleRead more
I’ve written a fair amount on my health blog about why people struggling to heal, or wanting to stay healthy, need to avoid factory-farmed animal meat. And that it’s FAR better to eat less meat, but buy pasture-raised, free-range meatRead more
Let me say right up front that this post has nothing to do with horses. Well, I suppose if I wanted to stretch things, I could make a case for how crows are related to horses… simply by the factRead more
95% of Canada’s hens live in conventional egg farms in cramped, barren cages. But a better life is possible! For the first time, Canadians are being asked for our input on our national standards for egg farming. Don’t miss yourRead more
Even though I purchased a Weaver rope halter specially sized for draft breeds – it was just a bit too small! So then I decided to venture into the scary territory of making my own rope halter for my BelgianRead more
