Soul Herd articles are contributed by equine creatives who devote their lives to understanding and engaging with horses. In this modern era of equestrianism, it is becoming clear many horse guardians are also turning their attention to this awakening journey. Soul Herd is a community for those who listen to horses. We seek to share and enjoy our kinship with them.

Soul Herd is also a support system and resource base for those who may feel that they are alone, and yet there are so many kindred spirits, all over the world and we all have something unique to bring.

The equestrian world is vast, and although there are guidelines, it is unwise to think that there is one right way to be in the presence of a horse. Each experience… every moment with every horse, is an opportunity to find a greater connection, a deeper understanding. As more of us are listening, more horses are finding their voice and the partnerships evolve.

Soul Herd articles reflect this diversity, offering a judgment free window into the lives of passionate horse people. Those who truly love the horse are here, those who are expanding our understanding and our limits, and those who wish to grow.

Can we trust horses to look after themselves in the right environment? Are we ready to reduce the control we have held tightly in so many circumstances? Do horses care about joining with us, so we can replace insistence with invitation, and assumptions with humility? These are the questions equine creatives are asking. Discover their answers in our articles.
