Wild Horses
This weekend I had the immense honor and privilege to share space with some of the wild horse bands that call the Red Desert Complex in Wyoming their home.
I knew that meeting them would change me but I was not prepared for how connected I would feel to them and how much they would teach me after only a few days among them. To get to witness them with their families and observe the freedom they embody was inspiring. They showed me the true meaning of being embodied and moving through the world as your full unconditioned self. And today when I got to be with my domesticated horse friends, the wild ones came to their sessions in spirit and it was a whole new feeling. I will forever be grateful to the wild ones for what they shared with me.
These horses are ESSENTIAL. We need them in the wild to be the keepers and examples of this wisdom. While they have the ability to be fierce in their own right they need humanity to stand up for them so that they can stay in their homes with their families. It is an act of reciprocity for all that horses have given us.
This experience is thanks to the amazing Carol Walker. She has dedicated much of her life as a voice for these horses. These horses are her family. She knows them as her own kin and they receive her in the same way. She is doing everything she can to help keep these horses safe and able to stay free with their families. When something happens to them it is the same thing as something happening to a loved one. Carol is an artist that specializes in photography. She witnesses these amazing horses through the lens of her camera and celebrates them through her artwork. She lets you into their world. I highly recommend checking out her work.
She also has a fantastic podcast where you can learn more about the horses and ways to help them. It is called Freedom For the Wild Horses by Carol Walker, available wherever you listen to podcasts.
Thank you Carol for entrusting me to meet them. I don’t take that honor for granted.
The more people that are their voice the better chance they have of surviving. If you want to learn more about how you can be part of helping them check out these resources.
