Would you believe that there are thoroughbreds in the racing industry who are so well-loved, well-cared for and well-prepared that by the time they arrive at the track to race they look like balanced and developed adult Warmbloods?

In this episode I share the story of a time when I didn’t advocate for my Kisses mare when I absolutely should have.

I recently took a writing class that changed my life.

There is no denying horses are big investments. The physical, financial, emotional, energetic and time investments of having with horses are vast.

My friends, I am beyond thrilled to share this news with you! I am left terrible at keeping secrets so the fact that I have managed to keep my mouth shut on this is a freaking miracle!

I have been working diligently and with deep intention behind the scenes to birth a new business into the world. I am so proud to introduce you to The Sacred Rebellion!

She has been a long time coming. We have been on quite a journey together and so to see her finally made manifest is kind of incredible to me.

In this episode where I share the story of her creation, how I intend to be of service through this new business, and the ways in which Equine Elevation is evolving now that’s she has arrived.

I genuinely hope you enjoy hearing how The Sacred Rebellion came to be and what she means to me and my work going forward.

Thank you all so much for being here and witnessing this exciting new chapter!

A few months ago I had someone ask me to do an episode for new horse owners. She asked me to cover what I would consider to be the basics when it comes to horse ownership.

It was amazing to host Brittany Ference, Executive Director of Great Escape Mustang Collaborative, for a very honest conversation about their work with these incredible wild horses.

Brittany shares some of the realities of the journey many mustangs experience from living in the wild to being round up, domesticated, and all too often, what happens if these horses don’t settle well into domestic life.

I am genuinely so honoured to be connected with Brittany and an organization that is committed to supporting the sovereignty of mustangs and their well-being as they adjust and integrate into domestication. 

I hope that you will give this episode a listen and consider supporting Great Escape in any way you can.

I had such a wonderful experience chatting with Chloe Elgar for our most recent episode. Chloe is a vibe and her perspective on horse guardianship is one I’m honoured to share with you all through our podcast. 

I loved our conversation around allowing horses the freedom and space for self-expression. Chloe shares about offering her horses avenues to explore and fulfill their needs, and the importance of following the evolution of their self-development so they can continue to express their true selves as they change and grow.

I especially enjoyed hearing about how Chloe approaches setting people up to work with her horses, how that translates into trust and safety, and minimizes potentially negative impacts on her herd.

Chloe speaks to the connection between advocating for self and advocating for our horses (which is a topic y’all know I love!) and we jam on our experiences of learning to trust in the connection and purpose we have with our horses.

There is so much wisdom in this episode that I know will be of value to those of you who are walking the path of new paradigm partnership with horses. Have a listen and let us know what resonates with you!

This episode was a meeting of the ‘horse moms’! 

I was excited to be joined by Breanne Kerr of Wildwynd Equine and Brittany Ashworth of Sacred Echos to chat about the concept of herd hierarchy as it applies to our blended herd of seven.

I was curious to sit down with the ladies and ask where they would each place the seven horses based on the herd hierarchy model. You’ll have to tune in to find out if we all came up with the same answer!

We also explore what is the herd hierarchy model, why was it created and what purpose does it serve?

As well as what does leadership look like within the herd? What significance do the individual roles of each horse play into the herd hierarchy conversation? And what role does each individual relationship play within the hierarchy of the whole herd?

We also look at the role meeting the baseline foundational needs of the herd plays when having this conversation. As well as what do horses hold for one another when it comes to meeting those foundational needs within the herd, and the development of each horse as an individual.

This episode was recorded in the Sovereign Horse Outdoor Studio (aka: the paddock) so you are definitely going to hear some horses and nature sounds! You will also hear some cars in the background, but they absolutely do not take away from the potency of this conversation. 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it!
