’ve been drawn to wild horses since I was a little kid. There’s something about them that taps into something deep inside people — the freedom, the instinct, the untamed aliveness.

This summer, my daughter Tegan and I are stepping into something completely new as we train a wild mustang yearling through the Wild Rose Mustang Advocacy Group here in Colorado.

In this episode, I share my history with horses growing up in Montana, becoming a therapeutic riding instructor in my twenties, reconnecting with horses again in midlife, and why this experience feels so meaningful to me right now.

We also talk about the Devil’s Garden mustangs arriving from Northern California, what makes wild horses so fascinating through the lens of the nervous system, and why I think horses have a lot to teach humans right now.

This is the beginning of our summer journey training a wild mustang and I’m taking you along for the ride.
