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, 202640Views 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…

Part of nurturing the human-animal bond is incorporating the wisdom that these creatures share with us into our systems of holistic spiritual care.

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…

Finding Safety in Story and Herd

A herd of horses doesn't sleep all at once. Horses need to lay flat to get deep, restful REM sleep and this can take place in short increments (like 15-30 minutes) a few times a day. They also can rest by locking their knees and standing, and they do this for 5-7 hours a day.…
