There is no denying horses are big investments. The physical, financial, emotional, energetic and time investments of having with horses are vast.If you are listening to Sovereign Horse podcast, there is no doubt in my mind that you are invested in horses. Not just invested, but likely deeply invested.The people who hang in our world feel a connection with horses that goes far beyond caregiving, or riding, or working with them as clients or colleagues.Horses are a significant part of their lives.Theyāre on their minds and in their thoughts every day.Theyāre woven into their DNA.But something I have come to know is that, while you may be deeply invested in horses, the horses in your life are also deeply invested with you.In this episode, I explore the ways in which horses have shown me time and again just how invested they are in their humans and why.Connect with Angela:www.equineelevation.comInstagram: @equineelevation

A few months ago I had someone ask me to do an episode for new horse owners. She asked me to cover what I would consider to be the basics when it comes to horse ownership. As I have sat in contemplation of this, what I realized is that instead of calling these things basics, Iād consider them more the fundamentals or foundational elements of horse ownership. And so this extends well beyond being a ānewā horse owner, because these foundational elements took me many years of horse ownership to come to realize.So while this episode is meant to be supportive for new owners, I hope it will also be supportive for everyone who is in partnership with horses.Join Equine Elementals MembershipJoin Business Elementals MembershipConnect with Angela:Instagram: @equineelevationwww.equineelevation.com

It was amazing to host Brittany Ference, Executive Director of Great Escape Mustang Collaborative, for a very honest conversation about their work with these incredible wild horses.
Brittany shares some of the realities of the journey many mustangs experience from living in the wild to being round up, domesticated, and all too often, what happens if these horses donāt settle well into domestic life.
I am genuinely so honoured to be connected with Brittany and an organization that is committed to supporting the sovereignty of mustangs and their well-being as they adjust and integrate into domestication.
I hope that you will give this episode a listen and consider supporting Great Escape in any way you can.

I had such a wonderful experience chatting with Chloe Elgar for our most recent episode. Chloe is a vibe and her perspective on horse guardianship is one Iām honoured to share with you all through our podcast.
I loved our conversation around allowing horses the freedom and space for self-expression. Chloe shares about offering her horses avenues to explore and fulfill their needs, and the importance of following the evolution of their self-development so they can continue to express their true selves as they change and grow.
I especially enjoyed hearing about how Chloe approaches setting people up to work with her horses, how that translates into trust and safety, and minimizes potentially negative impacts on her herd.
Chloe speaks to the connection between advocating for self and advocating for our horses (which is a topic yāall know I love!) and we jam on our experiences of learning to trust in the connection and purpose we have with our horses.
There is so much wisdom in this episode that I know will be of value to those of you who are walking the path of new paradigm partnership with horses. Have a listen and let us know what resonates with you!Connect with Chloe:Instagram: @channeledbychloewww.channeledbychloe.com

This episode was a meeting of the āhorse momsā!
I was excited to be joined by Breanne Kerr of Wildwynd Equine and Brittany Ashworth of Sacred Echos to chat about the concept of herd hierarchy as it applies to our blended herd of seven.
I was curious to sit down with the ladies and ask where they would each place the seven horses based on the herd hierarchy model. Youāll have to tune in to find out if we all came up with the same answer!
We also explore what is the herd hierarchy model, why was it created and what purpose does it serve?
As well as what does leadership look like within the herd? What significance do the individual roles of each horse play into the herd hierarchy conversation? And what role does each individual relationship play within the hierarchy of the whole herd?
We also look at the role meeting the baseline foundational needs of the herd plays when having this conversation. As well as what do horses hold for one another when it comes to meeting those foundational needs within the herd, and the development of each horse as an individual.
This episode was recorded in the Sovereign Horse Outdoor Studio (aka: the paddock) so you are definitely going to hear some horses and nature sounds! You will also hear some cars in the background, but they absolutely do not take away from the potency of this conversation.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it! Connect with Breanne:https://www.wildwyndequine.com/Instagram: @wildwyndequineConnect with Brittany:https://www.sacredechos.com/Instagram: @sacredechosConnect with Angela:https://www.equineelevation.com/Instagram: @equineelevation

We were talking big mare medicine in this episode aptly recorded on International Womenās Day!Join me and equine-partnered life coach, animal communicator and healer, Kate Neligan, as we talk about exploring relational dynamics, especially through the lessons weāve learned with some of the mares who have had profound impacts in our lives.We navigate the difference between transactional vs relational interactions with horses, and how to enjoy the process and relationship development when we are doing anything together with them.We also chat about what itās like to work with not just horses but also donkeys and goats in her Equus-partnered coaching business.Plus we receive a special and beautiful message from the beings Kate refers to as the Heaven Herd, a group of horses she works with who have transitioned.And on a super fun note, our recording time was 1 hour and 23 mins. Yāall know I love me some number codes!

In this weekās solo episode, I explore some of the teachings my horses have offered me around the importance of making mistakes with them. Yep, you read that correctly. My horses have told me time and time again that there is deep importance in making mistakes for many reasons. Of course we all know that mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow, but my horses have shared that they are also fertile grounds for building deeply authentic relationships, and cultivating trust with each other and ourselves.And while that is a beautiful offering, before I could get to that place, I had to move through a lot of shadows when it came to accepting the mistakes Iāve made with them. I had to learn how to deal with the guilt, shame and anger I have felt toward myself and others whom I blamed for their part in the harm done. I also had to figure out how to cope with seeing certain mistakes I made every day as my horses wore the physical scars of them.And then I also had to learn how to be okay making mistakes with clients and find ways to navigate their resolution without berating myself for getting something āwrongā or making a decision that may not have been as beneficial as I originally thought.I have moved through a lot of layers on my journey to embracing my mistakes, so I hope that these honest shares will support you if you have been struggling to embrace yours.Join us for our Embrace Your Mistakes class here.Connect with Angela:www.equineelevation.comInstagram: @equineelevation

We are back with a big one.When this episode dropped in as wanting to be explored, I knew I needed to call for backup. So I immediately connected with Dilara to ask if she would be willing to jump into this massive conversation with me, knowing she would be capable of holding the clear lens of detachment and neutrality necessary to genuinely explore this question.So in she came and off we went on the most neutral exploration of the spectrum of ārightnessā and āwrongnessā we could muster. And after a lengthy exploration, Dilara flat out asks me if I feel there is anything wrong with the industry, and I give my answerā¦We would love to hear your answer too, so please come on over to our Instagram @equineelevation and share your insights on the episode post!Connect with Dilara:https://dilarapataudi.com/Instagram: @divine_nature_of_horsesConnect with Angela:https://www.equineelevation.com/Instagram: @equineelevation

I was invited into the herd to record this weekās episode all about the ever-evolving and dynamic nature of identity and relationships.It is often a common human experience to become attached with certain perceptions of our horses. I have definitely been guilty of applying characteristics, identities and roles onto my horses and holding onto them as truth, even after they have evolved out of those archetypes.This became much more obvious to me as I stepped into my Horse Medicine Leadership training and the ask to stay current with the medicine of my horses was really brought into my awareness.Since the horses moved home, I have caught myself very much not current with who Phantom has become during his six months in the big herd at the last farm where they lived. In some ways even in denial of the ways he has grown and the roles he has stepped into within the herd.Dido also asked me to share some perspective around the value of relationship dynamics changing and evolving and the importance to hold space for those processes to unfold and not protect my human experience of that onto the horses. We hope that you will enjoy this immersive episode and feel like you are joining us right there in the field!Connect with Angela:Instagram: @equineelevationwww.equineelevation.com

This week we are welcoming Brittany Ashworth of Sacred Echos once again and the topic for this episode came through from her very special gelding, Treu.This connection came up when I realized how differently the process of holding horse medicine sessions has been since the horses moved home. My horses now live in a blended and bonded herd of seven, who collectively have three human guardians. And while they may have different guardians, these horses have very clearly been co-creating as a herd for some time.In this episode, Brittany and I discuss our personal experiences of being asked to step into a blended herd of horse and humans. We talk about the boundaries and blurred lines we are navigating as individuals and a collective from both horse and human perspective and honouring their asks to the best of our abilities as humans. (Spoiler: The horses have very different ideas of whether or not we should have ālinesā at all.)We also chat about our experiences of practicing horse medicine with one anotherās horses and the gifts and challenges of working with horses who arenāt ours. And we also spend some time gushing over our beloved horses who make up this dynamic, magical herd!Connect with Brittany:Instagram: @sacredechoswww.sacredechos.comConnect with Angela:Instagram: @equineelevationwww.equineelevation.com

A short and sweet (for me š) episode sharing what the horses have shown me are the guiding energies as we walk into 2024.Iām not going to spoil the surprise by sharing them hereāāyouāll have to listen to find out what they are! Wishing everyone a happy year to come! And if the horses are right (and we all know they always are) this is going to be a beauty of a year!Connect with Angela:Instagram: @equineelevationwww.equineelevation.com

My first solocast of Season 4! Although Iām never really alone when I record these episodes; the horses are always present.
In this episode, I was guided to speak about how my horses have helped me to surrender to and follow my soul guidance. My horses have truly been my greatest teachers when it comes to learning the difference between the voice of my ego and my Higher Self.
They also taught me the difference between manifesting and conscious co-creationāāsomething that has been probably the most impactful lesson of my entire life.
I share about how my horsesā timelines are interconnected with mine, and how they collapse and transform in tandem with one another, as individuals and as a collective.
I also speak about the importance of not letting my human resist, block and reject soul desires and timelines that are aligned for all of us as a collective.
This journey of learning how to co-create with my horses has been a wild and fascinating ride! Iām excited to begin sharing what Iāve learned with you and hope that it offers some answers or insights into your own journey alongside the horses in your life.

It was such a pleasure to record this expansive conversation with the lovely Dilara Pataudi!
Dilara is a multi-talented and gifted horsewoman, bodyworker, author and host of her own podcast called Being Herd (among many other things).
She and I dove deep into our journeys from a more conventional way of being with horses to the co-creative partnerships we now each have with our respective herds. It was so fascinating to hear the similar ways in which our horses have walked us along our paths and the teachings we have both been given in the process.
We share about our experiences of receiving medicine from our horses and what they have required, and even at times demanded, from us in our self-development. As well as the wild ride that is being in co-creative partnerships with horses who are deeply invested in our growth and evolution as individuals and on a collective level.
This episode was such a treat to create! I truly hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.Connect with Dilara:https://dilarapataudi.com/Instagram: @dilarapataudi & @divine_nature_of_horsesPodcast: Being Herd Podcast Connect with Angela:www.equineelevation.comInstagram: @equineelevation

Brittany begins part two of our conversation on supporting Kisses through her transition journey by speaking to the physical manifestations of the conscious dying process.
We discuss how to support our horses as they navigate the physical, emotional and spiritual ups and downs of the process. As well as the importance of having grace and compassion for our horses and ourselves as we witness and move through the process.
We also share Kissesā teachings around trusting yourself, your horse and your intuitive knowings throughout the journey. And the importance of being flexible and pivoting when things shift and are no longer in alignment.
Kissesā transition impacted our entire herd and a key component of support ourselves as individuals and as a collective was me consciously working through my emotions as they came up and having a support system to lean on outside of my herd.
We also share the unfolding of events that none of us could have anticipated (except perhaps the horses) and the undeniable validation I continue to receive around how interconnected our timelines and highest alignments are as a horse-human collective.
Kisses was truly a once in a lifetime mare who transformed my life more than a few times. It has been such an honour to share her transition story with you and I truly hope it will support you in your partnerships with the horses in your life.

I am so happy to share Sovereign Horse is finally back after an unexpected six-month hiatus.
Season Four begins with a very special two-part tribute to our beloved Kisses mare.
We held ceremony for her transition on July 25th, following eight months of teaching around supporting her through the process of conscious dying.
This teaching was Kissesā final gift not only to me and her herd mates, but to the many peopleāāfriends, colleagues and professionalsāāwho were deeply affected by witnessing and supporting us throughout her process.
I am joined by our dear friend and colleague, Brittany Ashworth of Sacred Echos, who walked alongside us in a big way during those eight months.
Brittany and I share the story of Kissesā conscious dying process and the vast wisdom we gained both on a personal level and also in the bigger picture of understanding this process for all involved.
I can never truly put into words what it means to me that Kisses chose to spend more than a decade of her life in partnership with me. I hold her teachings as sacred and it is my deepest honour to share her wisdom with those who choose to receive it.
It is my sincere hope that these two episodes will reach those of you who are meant to hear them and that sharing our journey will be supportive for many more horses and humans to come.

My friends, this episode has been two years in the making! And so I am absolutely thrilled to finally share this beautiful and insightful conversation with my dear friend, colleague and brilliant woman, Hillary Schneider.
I have spoken about Hillary on the podcast many times before as she has been an incredibly important mentor on my journey through horse medicine. But what you may not know is that Hillary is also an extremely gifted business coach who has supported me and many other women through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
Hillary and I came together to speak about building intuitive relationships with our businesses and share about our upcoming collaboration, the Business Energetics Mastermind.
In this episode we speak on following our intuition to flow with wants to be created through us, and how to trust in our messages so we can allow the path to unfold in its own divine timing.
We also talk about the importance of making space to be receptive so that we can then allow the wisdom of our business to energize us into action as opposed to creating from a place of should or fear or force. And the importance of this practice so that we donāt unintentionally fill the space that is actually the fertile ground for cultivating what wants to move through us.
We chat about tapping into the sacredness of our business and creating from that space, which helps us deepen into our purpose and allows our work to become even more fulfilling, and so much more.
If you are a purpose-led entrepreneur who is interested in cultivating an intuitive and regenerative relationship with your business, this conversation is for you!Business Energetics MastermindBook A Human Design + Astrology Foundation ReadingConnect with Hillary:Instagram: @hillaryeponawww.hillaryschneider.comConnect with Angela:Instagram: @equineelevationwww.equineelevation.com

Iām really excited to share this recent conversation I had with the beautiful soul who is Janie Roberts of Wild Horse Circle.
While Janie and I had an initial topic for this episode, we ultimately decided to abandon it and just go with the flow of whatever life presented us. And Iām so glad we did!
Janie shares about her work and journey on the path of the horse, as well as the many other studies and guides she brings into not just Wild Horse Circle but her embodied life.
But we discuss so much more!
This conversation was as wild and free-flowing as Janie herself. We moved through so many topics including the wisdom of horses, her early childhood connections with Mother Nature and how that has evolved through her life and work, her studies of anthropology and other cultures, the many paths of spirituality and spiritual studies, the importance of nervous system regulation and the various tools and techniques she has experienced to support that.
We also talked about plant medicine and psychedelic assisted therapies, what it means to create the sacred space of home for humans and horses in relationship to nature and our evolutionary paths, the balance of honouring who we are and our personal desires while being in true partnership and co-creation with our horses. How having healthy outlets to express ourselves ultimately allow us to build more authentic relationships with our horses, misconceptions of the healing journey, the importance of community and, if you can imagine it, so much more!
It was such a pleasure to be in conversation with Janie and receive the gift of her lovely energy and insights.

Ah, communication. So necessary and yet so easily muddied when put into practice, especially between humans.No one has taught me more about the art of clear communication than horses. The lessons have been many and have supported me in better communication not just with horse, but in all my relationships.In this episode I share the core teachings I have learned about communication from horses in general, as well as the individual lessons each of my horses has taught me and continues to teach me every day.I hope you enjoy this exploration and find some of these insights helpful in your own journey around the art of communication.Connect with Angela:www.equineelevation.comwww.instagram.com/equineelevation
