Horse Medicine - Meet The Herd
As far back as I can remember, horses have been sacred to me. Born in Calgary, during the infamous rodeo, Calgary Stampede, horses were destined to be in my life.
In June of 2023 we finally closed on our home in the countryside of Texas and within 2 weeks of landing, our 2 horses Stevie, Raziel, and their best-buddy Skunk the pig joined us. I believe that our animals are leading us and most of the time, they know more about what is coming than we do. Watch the video below to learn more about my story with horses:
Meet The Herd
Raziel
Raziel is the head of the herd and he also is my heart horse. He’s around 3 years old. He came us as ‘Pete’, but very quickly made it clear that he was ready to step into his power and reclaim a new name. Raziel means ‘Angel of Secrets’ or ‘Angel of Mysteries’… which speaks to his medicine. Raziel is equal parts sensitive and strong. He is a powerful force and leader in the herd and he leads with love and vigilance. Raziel values balance and safety and is very good at honouring exchanges (giving and receiving). His medicine leads in owning and honouring our sensitivity and our gifts and also learning how to step into new leadership. Raziel is the physical healer of our herd and as a sky / earth horse (1 blue eye, 1 brown), you can feel his physical and spiritual power and presence. Raziel’s medicie is like a truth serum, when you are with him you feel the layers of noise and story fall away.
Meet The Herd
Stevie
Stevie is the lead mare of our herd and is also the youngest (2 yrs old). She is a grey Arabian and she carries the wisdom and ancestry of the oldest horse bloodline. We call her part fairy, part witch… she has a very mystical and magical energy to her. Stevie is a clear channel, never doubts herself, and moves with confidence. She leaves no space for doubt or questions, you get what you see with Stevie. Although she looks young, when you are with her, it’s difficult to believe that she is 2, because of how solid, clear and wise she feels. If Stevie feels called to be a part of something, she will be. Her medicine comes through fast and sweet. She holds the feminine of the herd with delicate mastery. Her other medicine is around resilience as she came to us from a rescue who found her at auction with a fractured leg.
Meet The Herd
Dreamer
Dreamer came to us in December 2023 from a traumatic situation at auction. It was only recently that I was able to find out more about his story and fill in some gaps. Dreamer is 4 years old (born on July 7th, 2020) but has the essence of an old soul within him. He is a true medicine hat horse, with the unique markings of the horse legends (and 2 blue eyes). Dreamer holds a sweet and gentle side, but he is also spicy, spunky and curious. Dreamer tends to lead most of the play in the herd and the word ‘spirited’ fits him well. Dreamer’s medicine is deep; he brings the essence of home or looking for home, family, abandonment, neglect and ultimately healing the heart. In learning to trust and find his place- he offers that healing for those that meet him. Dreamer also carries deep ancestral magic and wisdom in his blood. He has referred to himself as an artist and is a horse who values the importance of self-expression and creativity.
Meet The Herd
Frodo
Frodo recently joined us (July 2024) from the same rescue where we have adopted all of our horses (Sweet Mercie’s Rescue Ranch in Glen Rose, Texas). He was bought at the Bowie auction back in January 2024 and at the time he had a torn DDFT and untreated arthritis. The moment Mariah shared a video of him at the auction, I had the same feeling that I did with each of our horses. Something about him felt like home. At the time, we weren’t ready for a new horse (Dreamer had only just recently joined us in December), and so I let Frodo know that if he knew he was meant to be with us it would happen. Six months later, Frodo arrived at our ranch. Frodo is all heart medicine. Alongside his story of coming here, he offers the medicine of trust and patience. Like all of our horses, I feel that he has chosen to be here, to live with us, and to share himself and his gifts with others. Frodo loves to know that you’re around and is also happy to do his own thing. There is a softness in him that immediately creates safety. Despite his journey, there is an openness that he carries in his heart- a willingness to love again and again. A part of his healing here is around returning to his pure and whole self after years of being worked and neglected. Frodo shows us that the heart can always open more. There is always more love to share and receive.
