Wisdom from the Wild4 days ago22Views 0Likes 0Comments

This is our third Wisdom from the Wild episode, and I’m really enjoying these videos. Each week I’ll share with you some thoughts, an oracle card pull, and some contemplative movements. This week's card is gentle watcher or gentle observation. In the wild horses will see or hear something and they'll stop and look, unmoving,…

This is our second Wisdom from the Wild episode, and I'm really enjoying these videos. Each week I'll share with you some thoughts, an oracle card pull, and some contemplative movements.

Do Horses Sense the Thinning Veil?

Horse WisdomOctober 31, 202640Views 0Likes 0Comments

This weekend contains many holidays from Halloween to the Day of the Dead to All Soul's Day. October 27 was one of many Days of the Dead in which departed pets return home to be with their people, and as I walked among the horses this morning and noticed that Firefly was acting a bit…

A Senior Mare Does Not Worry About Her Final Day

Grief, Horse WisdomSeptember 5, 2026116Views 0Likes 0Comments

CW: This blog post will talk about anticipating euthanasia. As of this writing, the mare is still with us, but I am expecting her passing before the end of the month. Note: There may not be a blogcast/audio for this post because I'm not sure I can read through it without breaking down. However as…

Meeting The Wild At The Horse Trough

Horse WisdomAugust 15, 2026108Views 0Likes 0Comments

We're in the middle of the dog days of summer, and I tell you, I suspect if someone asked the dogs they wouldn't like this either. We've been in an "excessive heat warning" since Wednesday, and it's due to expire tomorrow evening. We're almost through it. My job is to keep the water troughs filled…

How Much Do They Know and the Power of Presence

Horse WisdomJune 20, 2026151Views 0Likes 0Comments

We don't know what happens inside a horse's mind, how they process information, how the social dynamics of the herd work exactly. We can guess. We can create theories and judge those theories, test those hypothesis against the horses in front of us and how we perceive their experience. But the truth is, we're always…

Horses Teach Us Forgiveness

Horse WisdomJune 13, 2026180Views 0Likes 0Comments

The fly mask sat on the table next to the door in my office, ready to go out for one of the older mares who I noticed was having a lot of trouble with flies around her eyes. It's been a crazy week with a cat emergency, which luckily turned out to be not that…

Trusting In Something Larger Than Yourself

Horse WisdomMay 23, 2026191Views 0Likes 0Comments

Every day my horses tell me about the power of trust. Whether it's the rescue who lets me love on her after being standoffish and skittish for so long, or the senior heart horse who calls for lunch, knowing that I'll do whatever it takes to make sure she's cared for. The roly poly "baby"…

As promised the show is back from hiatus and I wanted to announce a bit of a realignment. I've given the website a bit of a polish and wanted to take a few moments to talk to you about the change in focus that is coming to Feathermane Soul Wisdom. I'll have more announcements in…

Feeding Ourselves With The Changing Seasons

Horse Wisdom, wild spiritualityMarch 21, 2026217Views 0Likes 0Comments

If the temperature outside didn't clue me in that the seasons are changing, or the fact that yesterday was the spring equinox, or the two trips I have to make outside after late afternoon feeding--one to open the horses' gates, the other to shut in the chickens who now go inside much later than they…

The Power of a Tiny Drop (Horse Wisdom)

Horse WisdomJanuary 31, 2026323Views 0Likes 0Comments

Hopefully this will be the last weekend of freezing weather for at least a week. I don't know I'm hearing rumors that the polar vortex might "slosh" (puke?) down into the lower 48 mid-February, but that's future me's problem. Today me is enjoying the power of a little drop of water. I've talked up my…

Somatic Work To Release Stress

Horse Wisdom, nervous system regulationJanuary 17, 2026301Views 0Likes 0Comments

Horses instinctively know how to move stress and discomfort through their body. Of course this doesn't mean that we need to stop looking for discomfort or not treat them, but when they are in a stressful situation, such as dealing with a higher member of the herd pecking order, they will often use different movements…

Incorporating Horse Wisdom into Holistic Spiritual Care

Horse WisdomDecember 27, 2025291Views 0Likes 0Comments

Part of nurturing the human-animal bond is incorporating the wisdom that these creatures share with us into our systems of holistic spiritual care. Remembering that holistic spiritual care is care for the whole being, all aspects and on all levels, then we can begin to look around us at the natural world and see how…

Why Horse Wisdom is Important

Horse WisdomDecember 13, 2025349Views 0Likes 0Comments

There is wisdom to be found in the non-human world, and when we are looking to craft our own systems of spiritual care it is extremely helpful to look at those whose lives are not shaped by human-made systems and constructs, and whose lives can be harmed by those same systems and constructs. While many…

Faith and Hay

Horse WisdomSeptember 20, 2025413Views 0Likes 0Comments

Mother Nature and horses have two things in common; they are subject to their own whims. In the case of Mother Nature, late summer and into fall has been rather dry here in the Ozarks and that meant I received the text I'd been dreading: my hay person would not have the bales I needed…

Protecting Your Space With Horse Wisdom

Horse Wisdom, my philosophyJune 21, 2025433Views 0Likes 0Comments

I walk among the herd to gently guide senior mare to the shed so she can have her leisurely, "gooshy" lunch, as I call it, of soaked senior pellets, soaked beet pulp shreads (We really need Unbeetable Feeds to sponsor us!), and some supplements. It's our noon-ish ritual. I go in the house, take care…
