The Core of Holistic Horsemanship and Husbandry
Laura and Cindy, your hosts, share their personal stories, revealing how horses opened their hearts and souls, transforming them into more compassionate and intuitive caregivers. Spiritually empowered horsemanship is about tuning into your horse’s needs, understanding their emotions, and communicating on a level that transcends traditional methods.

- Spiritual Connection: The episode explores the idea that horses are more than just animals—they are spiritual partners that help us discover parts of ourselves, helping us grow emotionally and spiritually.
- Holistic Care: Rather than relying entirely on external professionals, listeners are encouraged to trust their intuition and become more hands-on in their horse’s care, fostering a deeper bond.
