Sovereign Horse

In this week’s 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 fer...

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 o...

I was invited into the herd to record this week’s 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 thos...

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...

A short and sweet (for me 😂) episode sharing what the horses have shown me are the guiding energies as we walk into 2024.I’m not going to spoil the surprise by sharing them here––you’ll 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:...

My first solocast of Season 4! Although I’m 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...

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 herd...

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...

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 Kisses’ final gift not only to me and her herd mat...

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 tha...

I’m 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 I’m so glad we did! Janie shares about her work and journey on the path of the horse, as well as the many other studies...

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...

Get ready for a fantastic episode with my guest, equine bodyworker, saddle fitter and educator, Holly Barnett! Holly became a professional in the equine industry straight out of high school. She began her professional journey as an equine bodyworker practicing massage therapy and quickly noticed the patterns of dysfunction caused by improper saddle fit.  In classic Holly form, she decided she need...

In this episode I share some personal explorations and lessons I have learned from my experiences of having deep familial connections with horses. Of course so many of us who have cultivated deep bonds with horses consider them to be family, myself included. But there was a point in time when these connections became unhealthy for myself and my herd, and my horses asked me to look at the reasons w...

I’m excited to share this really cool conversation about holistic healing with Meredith Barrett of Remuda Bodyworks. I was so curious to chat with Meredith about her experiences of living remotely with horses in what feels to me like the quintessential country life on a working cattle ranch. Meredith shares her journey of how homeopathy empowered her to support the health of her horses, her family...

If you’ve been hanging around in my world for a while you’ve no doubt heard me talk about burning the equine industry down in order to build better lives for horses. And while my inner rebel yelled, “Burn it down and set the horses free!” My inner wise woman encouraged me to look at all the perspectives before lighting any matches. I have spent a lot of time in contemplation of this on my own, as...

Friends, I am so happy to bring this episode to you! This has been a year in the making and the stars finally aligned for us to record this beautiful conversation around permission-based bodywork.   Caren Dougall is a fellow Certified Equi-Bow Practitioner and Instructor, cherished colleague and dear friend who holds a special place in my heart for so many reasons.   It was so wonderful to have th...

Let's start with some real talk. This episode was uncomfortable for me to record because the topic is a bit of a doozy. But my horses have been asking me to speak on this for a while and so I couldn't put it off any longer.   It is very common for humans to derive their sense of self-worth and identity from their horses, but the truth is that our self-worth can't be found from any external source....

Welcome to the first episode of our special Equine Body Sovereignty Miniseries.  Body sovereignty is a topic we feel is extremely important to discuss in its many facets and so this season we are bringing in guests from different corners of the horse world to offer their perspectives on the subject.  Our first episode in the series is with our dear friend and animal communicator, Brittany Ashworth...

In part two of our podcast takeover episode our guest host, Lucie Bohan, invites me into an exploration of a topic she is currently fascinated with––horse-human bonds.    She asks me to share an experience of what it looks like to build a relationship with a horse that has deepened over time and how that relationship unfolded over the years.   We also talk about the importance of being open enough...

We are back with our third season of Sovereign Horse! We decided to kick this season off by flipping the script and instead of having a guest on to be interviewed, we brought on a guest host to interview me.  Our wonderful client, Lucie Bohan, has been asking the most fantastic questions since we met last year. And so it felt like a really fun idea to let her go wild on this episode and ask all th...

I went out to the herd this morning to do a video of guiding energies for 2023 and Dido suggested I record a podcast episode instead! So here I am sharing the messages, reflections and guiding energies from the Equine Elevation herd for 2023.   I hope these messages are supportive for your year ahead and beyond. We wish you a wonderful 2023 filled with joy, love, abundance and your dreams and visi...

A short and sweet episode on how horses helped me to cultivate and anchor into self-love when I felt love being lost all around me.   Plus why my horses are one of my superpowers. 🦄   Connect with Angela:www.equineelevation.comInstagram: @equineelevation

I absolutely love having conversations about anything horse-related with my friend and colleague, Holly Sanders.    She holds such a beautiful presence in the horse world as an advocate and guardian of these very special beings. And I often find her insights and perspectives around horses catalyzing and thought-provoking.   It was so wonderful to have this conversation with Holly where we got to s...

When I was initiated into the world of Horse Medicine, my life with horses was primarily focused around riding.    I had a string of horses I rode and was preparing for the upcoming competition season. I was just getting a taste of my dream of being a professional trainer and rider.    Any time I wasn’t at the barn with the horses in training was spent with my equine bodywork clients helping suppo...
