lifetime passion Horse/Human communion Oneness in Presence It has been quite awhile since I have posted in Heart of a Horsewoman. I have a new project, Horse in Haiku. Haiku is a perfect form for presenting Horse in the present moment. In the process I am learning so much about Haiku. In my writer’s group, Wise Women of the Well, we understood Haiku to be 17 syllables written in three lines of 5/7/5 syllables with a reference to the four seasons and nature. It turns out there is so much more. I have joined the Haiku Society of America and am learning about the multiple layers of life, spiritu ..read more

Equine Spirituality; What is it?
From the Heart of a Horsewoman
by heartofahorsewoman
2y ago
What is Equine Spirituality? I first saw this as a heading category in a small used-book bookstore in Placerville, CA. It was an “ah-ha” moment for me. I was in the process of writing From the Heart of a Horsewoman: Horse–A Bridge Between Spirit and Matter. The book had neither title nor form direction at this point. When I shared the material in my blog, one of my writing mentors asked me if it was a spiritual book. My immediate reaction was denial. Who was I to write a spiritual horse book? I saw my audience as the horse people I recognized from the “how-to” horse world. Yet I knew this book ..read more

We are never alone in our grief and the deeper the grief the greater the testament to the reach of Love. From the Heart of a Horsewoman Sparkle Plenty RIP September 19, 1992 – January 30, 2022 Although her feet and legs no longer supported her in strength and comfort and fluidity, her heart and mind still carried power and spirit. It had become so necessary for her to maintain her stance that even in the midst of massive doses of life ending anesthetic she tried to regain her feet. She did not go quietly, her lungs kept pumping oxygen, her eyes kept fluttering. My hand on her muzzle, I h ..read more

Sparkle Plenty RIP September 19, 1992 – January 30, 2022 Although her feet and legs no longer supported her in strength and comfort and fluidity, her heart and mind still carried power and spirit. It had become so necessary for her to maintain her stance that even in the midst of massive doses of life ending anesthetic she tried to regain her feet. She did not go quietly, her lungs kept pumping oxygen, her eyes kept fluttering. My hand on her muzzle, I hoped to soothe her and soothe myself. In 1992, on September 19th I embraced a new foal, a new life in my arms. January 30, 2022, I wrapped my ..read more

“For those of us born with a passion toward Horse, and I am fortunate to be among them, the ephemeral quality of our Horse longings, our Horse relationships, bring questions alongside difficult-to-translate answers. Why? What inner yearning calls me? What draws my Heart to Horses? Lynnea Honn dances through the dimensions of these yearnings with metaphor, lore, poetic prose, and fifty-horse-years of hands-on insights. Delight yourself in this ‘chocolate’ of horse memoirs, one sweet bite, one sweet paragraph, at a time.”           Dawn Jenkins, Lady ..read more

Horse Books for Grown Ups
From the Heart of a Horsewoman

What constitutes a horse book for grown-ups? That is a really good question. I want to say that the characters are mostly grown-ups. Right? Maybe. The types of books may include fact, fiction, memoir, and fantasy. I have an eclectic list of books that I consider horse books for grownups. I must admit, I have never met a horse story I didn’t like. On the other hand, not all horse books embody the philosophy of what I consider right relationship. I think right relationship has been covered pretty thoroughly in other Heart of a Horsewoman blog entries. If you are curious about righ ..read more

HORSES, Heroes and Archetypes
From the Heart of a Horsewoman
by heartofahorsewoman

    I don’t know about you, but I grew up with larger than life, silver screen horseback heroes. It was the horses that were my heroes.  More than that, it was the relationship between the man and his horse, true partners of mutual respect and understanding, which inspired my admiration.  In almost every origin story, the horse of untameable spirit is rescued by the hero. With tenderness and compassion, the hero wins the power of the horse spirit.  The horse is still wild but has given, without coercion, his loyalty to the hero, thus transforming the two into one for t ..read more
