More freedom | More joy | More horse
I had a full-blown, snot-dripping, throat-aching meltdown at the barn. I was hissing with anger, stomping my feet and swiping the air with my fists, as I punctuated my tirade. The horses stood where they were when I began myRead more
I went to the barn the day after a big healing session… why do most of the horses want nothing to do with me? I processed some deep childhood stuff during the session with my friend Jenny Andrews (EFT, MatrixRead more

Here’s a video of the simple pleasures hanging out with horses as winter comes to a close. My dog Kumba is only 18 months old in this video, so still needs to learn how to control his impulses around theRead more
In my herd of 11 horses, it’s relatively peaceful while the top 2 or 3 powerful horses are receiving their feed – because no one would dare push in on them, or challenge them. But after that, it can turnRead more
The whole herd (except for Xadaa) is either sleeping or meditating. At the beginning of this livestream video (below), we just catch the tail end of Aude, Kaliah and Zorra’s nap. They all went into deep sleep, leaving me toRead more
The idea I’ve evolved to with my Livestream videos is to simply let the horses speak, or show what they want. My role is supposed to be to just hold the camera. However, I’ve yet to be able to stickRead more

I received a most fascinating email from a reader (let’s call her Jill) whose horse is now attacking her after she tried the Trust Technique and Reiki with him. And while her email is unique, at the same time sheRead more
I invite the herd to go into the back 20 acres at dusk – just before the coyote pack gets active. Audelina comes along, but doesn’t think that’s a good idea! And guess what happens…? Let’s take another journey intoRead more
One of our horse listeners, Capucine, shared a photo of this sculpture in our Facebook group and I was SO taken with it! Not just the majesty of it, but HOW did artist Claudia Fontes create this startling, ginormous sculptureRead more
In this video, my big Belgian mare Audelina gives me an experience of what it’s like to receive LOVE from Divine Mother energy. Aude invites me to join her in meditation and then tells me I have a ‘mother wound’.Read more

Guest post by Jocelyn Grey – How an Ontario rider met the horse of her dreams on an Alberta trail riding trip, brought him home – and discovered he had other ideas… In September of 2008, a group of middleRead more
I decided to tell you this story in video form. Because you really need to see-hear-feel how ridiculously out-of-connection I am with Montaro as we set out for the day’s adventure! Giving this story a title was equally difficult; becauseRead more
Animal communicator Pea Horsley asks an important question: How would our world change if everyone could communicate with animals? If you find yourself skeptical, or wondering if you could possibly learn to communicate telepathically with animals, or even if youRead more
I must admit, after my post last week, I thought this story was pretty much finished. But as they often do, the horses had a different idea. Not only was there another big piece to come, but another Tapping videoRead more
There is a shockingly primal fear that takes hold when an animal seizes more than half your skull in its jaws. It feels like my left ear, around the back of my head, to my right temple has been clampedRead more
We’ve been talking about flower essences lately, but how about just connecting – in the moment – to plants you discover in your field? Have you ever thought about the gifts of the plant world that might be right inRead more
Why must we chop the balls off all our male animals? Why is this considered normal and even necessary? Luckily I was able to take my dog Kumba across the border for a canine vasectomy. But when it came toRead more
I created a painting around the theme of Expectations & Insanity. And then I asked my horses to show me more about these concepts – so my Belgian/Fjord asked me take him onto 20 acres of unfenced land – unhaltered,Read more
By Ainsley Beauchamp The 4-year-old mare was all shining palomino dapples, her creamy mane and tail were soft with brushing. Her name was Ghrian, Gallic for sun, and she was as beautiful as any golden sunrise. She stood on alert,Read more

I walked into the paddock area and Montaro briefly smelled my hand in greeting, then tried to nip me. Zorra turned her head away as I came near. Aude stood patiently as I approached, then brushed by my extended handRead more
Psychotherapist Pat Rothchild talks about how the horse has more mirror neurons in its brain than dogs, cats, or even humans, “which cause them to experience and reflect the emotional state of those in their territories. Mirror neurons enable ourRead more
I’ve written about the trauma my Andalusian mare suffered from her brief Dressage training before. And I thought we had pretty much processed and healed that trauma – through several bodywork and EFT Tapping sessions. Followed by me giving herRead more
The story I’m about to write is so bizarre, that initially I wasn’t going to write about it – or perhaps just a simplified, more palatable version. I had only told a few people, in person, and I figured that’sRead more
So was my one-week-old foal delivering a spiritual message and facilitating emotional healing for me; or was he just attacking me for fun, or testing me? Let’s start with a bit of background… Last August, when Kesia and I hadRead more
