Kadoo having Colic – a matter of survival
The Liberty Trainers Network

At sunrise monday morning our four horses; Shoni, Moonlight, Elena and Kadoo, had found their way out of the field and went exploring. They entered several farms, had a bit to eat here and there and ended up at the neighbors field who has two horses. By the time we reached to bring the horses home, they had eaten a lot and had a pecking order fight with the neighbor’s two horses, Ayiti and Destiny. All were quite exhausted, and came to us to get their halters on ready to go home. Walking home, Kadoo was unusually tired, and he even tried to lay down on the road before we reached home. We thoug ..read more

Winter Walking with Sabio

We walk down the road, vehicle tracks as rigid deep veins in the frozen mud, sheets of ice glistening in the pale winter sun. It’s treacherous footing but we have to get out. Our usual stop is to visit two young mares in a pasture, who are always excited to see another horse coming down the road. Today, Sabio stops and looks at them, but he doesn’t ask to go over and visit. Often he has gone over and sniffed noses and taken in their muzzles exploring his face and neck as though it was a special treat. But today, he looked and he decided he wanted to continue walking with me and didn’t g ..read more

Listen to Mother Earths’ call for action.

Listen to the urgent call to move from a global society of destruction and consumption, to one of care and connection with our home Mother Earth. The only Home we have. Real change means bringing together knowledge, understanding and action. W ..read more

Where does our love of horses come from?

What is it we love about horses so much? Where does our love come from? I think about how primal it is. If I find a stick in a V form that has one end 1/3 shorter than the other, I think of a horse head. If I pick up a rock in the same shape, I think of a horse and start mentally drawing in the rest of the details. For many moons, Native Americans created fetishes starting with a rock in a shape that made them think of the animal and then carved it into the form it inspired – done with many other animal shapes as well. These fetishes are used for ceremonies and to give thanks ..read more

When Horses Say Goodbye

Magic and a herd of wild horses came into my life in 2007. I had taken up a new work challenge on the small Caribbean island of St. Vincent and had run into an abandoned and lost herd of wild horses. Magic was one of the wild mares and she has meant a lot for our small horse school and liberty horse program. She had many working students and, with my guidance, she taught lessons about being present, awareness, body language, speaking with a clear mind and language, leadership, kindness, courage and connection. On a Sunday in March she got very sick with stomach pains and a stron ..read more
