Now more than ever, the true meaning of ‘Horse power’ is being revealed with many Horsemen and Women gaining self-awareness, emotional intelligence and, ultimately, healing, within their partnership with Horse. In honoring the magnificence of these immeasurable gifts, how can we support our Horses through Sacred practices and rituals that help them on their respective path of evolution, wellness and healing? This video demonstrates a healing ritual shared between Fotini Chandrika and one of the Horses in her care, Penny.
