This quote speaks to how horse herd connection can help you connect to your herd.
Your herd might be your relationships with family or friends. Or your own inner herd.
Here’s an example of what this means:
________________________________________
Not long ago, I was working with a private group doing a Horse Circle Meditation. Before the meditation, there was a woman who wanted very badly to connect with a certain horse. Every time she walked towards this horse, the horse moved away. In fact, this horse also moved all the horses away because she was the herd leader.
During these meditations the horses are roaming freely amongst us as we sit in a circle for guided meditation.
Once we all settled into our chairs, the meditation began. At some point during the meditation, this horse came up close to the woman’s chair and touched the back of her hand with her muzzle whiskers. Then the horse proceeded to stay close enough for the woman to feel her breath on her hand and side of her face too.
You see, she had let go of the insistence on connecting with the horse. Her energy was overwhelming for the horse and causing the horse to feel concern for herself and her herd mates.
Tears began slowly sliding down the woman’s face yet she remained still with her eyes closed. She was allowing the horse to be with her without expectations. It was clear that something was being communicated between the two.
After the meditation, the woman stayed behind to talk with me about her experience. She shared, that for the first time ever, she was able to feel the loss (death) of a beloved person from her childhood. She had not acknowledged it before and her mind had pushed it out of her memory.
By allowing herself to let go in the presence of horses, she connected into her own inner herd and listened to the message she was receiving.
The wonderful thing about this was that she wasn’t sobbing or distressed, she was able to simply acknowledge it and process it as part of her past reality. It was now a part of her present reality and she felt it was one step closer to being more connected to her true self.

Horses help you see your blessings, traumas, and the full potential you are capable of. They are like having a resource to connect you more deeply to yourself and your life.
Life becomes more engaging when all of your reality is discovered, acknowledged, and accepted.
Once you accept who you truly are, you are limitless!
