A re-post because it still matters.
Imagine being in pain, but no one is listening because ...
you are female.

And how your jokes about “(red) mare faces” are actually internalised misogyny and rac*sm that actively adds to the suffering of horses (oh there is so much to unpack here - but captions have me limited. Let’s cover the most important.)

There are no mare faces.
There are no “grumpy” faces.
No “difficult personalties” and no difference in behavior because of gender
or coat color.
But there are horses in discomfort, pain and with chronically unmet needs.

We have the pain and welfare assessment tools.
We have the knowledge - black on white.

A pain face
is a pain face.

How can we - as horse women - subscribe to the discrimination of mares, showing signs of discomfort, by giving them the same unfair human made attributes, we all still suffer from in this society?

Not long ago, women with opinions and voices were labeled hysteric and put into asylums to stay silent for ever.

We made it out (most of us).

But in a replacement, we still support this attitude towards female animals, instead of looking the uncomfortable truth right in the face:
we are responsible for their wellbeing - and their behavior is a direct feedback of how well we are doing.

A horse that is constantly showing distress, discomfort, anger, resistance, disobedience, fight, flight or freeze is constantly in distress and discomfort.

And they haven’t chosen the life with us - we did.

You can’t stereotype, ridicule or train this away by placing the blame on gender, coat color or personality.

As women, it is our sacred duty to be their guardians.

Not their dominators.

We’ve had enough of those.

If you feel this message, this view on life and love for all that lives - feel wholeheartedly invited to join me in my quest of bringing this further into the world.

I want to gather like minded (horse) women to become sacred guardians of our life here on earth.

And we start with our horses 🐴 Follow me for a better future 👉🏻

Learning from a horse behaviourist- someone who has fundamental knowledge and principles of body & mind of a specific species.

From macro to micro - knowing horses inside and out and being their voice. That’s the focus. And if we, in between, learn about what it means to be human(e) again, it’s a win win for all.

They teach us so much, emotionally, spiritually, physically- but they are not obliged to. It’s a gift. One that we must cherish.

We do so by becoming their guardians, not their masters in any way.

Leadership training, coaching, therapy, healing sessions - are all valid. But let’s keep in touch with the individual personality, wishes and needs of every single horse that is involved. Learning and educating about the species we are interacting with - not just a means to whatever end one chooses.

Sometimes I feel my profession is forgotten because it’s not fancy. It doesn’t look magical. It doesn’t bring direct advantage to a human, an industry or branch.

Its purely one that makes the horses life better, healthier, happier.

But you can profit from it - because your horse does.
Holistically, my advice and coaching give you insights that create the strongest foundations a horse person can have.

Hi, I am Carolina, a horse welfare specialist studied horse behaviourist equine coach and author. Here, you find everything you need to know about horses - when you’re truly interested in shifting into kind, empathetic and scientifically supported horsemanship.

Together we create a new human horse relationship from which the horses can thrive. And so do we.

Sometimes I can’t help but look around and realize: I am doing this all on my own. But I don’t know any better, so I just do it.

Sometimes, however, I have doubts if this is “for me”. If this ‘fighting the odds’ is worth it. If I can, one day, manage to live this life without doubts, worry and a lot of pushing through. If it’s, one day, the peace and quiet I want it to be. If we can come home.

The horse people and non horse people in my circles are all saying it’s not worth it. They either know the struggle and are worn out and tired, too. Or they don’t understand the choice completely.

As if it was ever a choice for me. But not everyone understands it. Even if they are the closest to you.

Nevertheless, the horses are my life. And I wish for anyone feeling this to not feel that alone with it today.

Love your horses 💖

From a routine vet check up to days filled with tears and worry. Honestly, I don’t know what to do at the moment. I’m still processing what it means for his future. And how I can help him.

He’s has a few years left with eyesight. But he’s just 14. We need to prepare for a life that can be managed by sound and feel.

But for now I want to educate you on the fact that we can’t carelessly go on about breeding what we think is pretty in the horse world.

Joopy didn’t deserve this much trouble in his life. Being totally displaced by his genetics. He’s a breed struggling to cope with our climate and rich nutrients. And his color was just for “pretty”.

But in the industry are even more examples. Of sport horses being bred too flexibel. Hooves being bred too small. Legs being bred to long.

And so much more. And all the short term and long term suffering that comes with it.

What are we doing?

So tired of the authority bias between vets and horse owners. It feels like federal crime to state that I don’t blindly trust every word they say. But here it goes. They are humans, too. They make mistakes. Especially in this field where many biases shape our way of thinking and therefore treating horses.

A vet carries such a tremendous amount of responsibility towards what comes out of their mouth - I am furious about statements like these. Vets are no gods. They don’t know it all. They just can’t. That’s why we have more professions out there.

Please, I don’t want to downgrade your profession. Just know your limits. And state they when you meet them.

And dear owners: you are their guardians. You have a say, too. You have (or can have) knowledge, too. You know your horse better, individually. Don’t rest on “but my vet says” if it still feels wrong.

Can we please even out this power struggle?

We should all be here to make the horses life better.
Working together.

We should all be equally caring and loving.

The answer is made out of two things: detail and context.

All behaviors are patterns. They all originate from a purpose. No behaviors stands alone or is random.

The art of analyzing horses comes from a vast pool of knowledge and a sense for detail. There are no coincidences when it comes to behavior.
Our bodies never lie.

The problem often is that we forgot about that. We don’t take it seriously. We don’t see anymore.

There are many stories about lazy horses. Stories we tell ourselves to ease the discomfort of not knowing and feeling unable.

If we grow past that - we do right by our horses.

Seeing and knowing - before buying - has saved me a lot of money on stuff and services, especially supplements, that my horses never really needed.

That makes my expensive education all the way worth it. And it would for you, too.

Horse Behaviorists are the guides, the crossroads, to lead you down the right path and make the right decisions. Without distraction.

I love my profession with all my heart, here’s how you can learn from it 👉🏻

Commenting “You know nothing about horses” under a post from a studied horse behaviorist pointing out the harmful side of the horse industry is pretty much pointing out the status quo of a widespread cognitive dissonance owned by the industry.

It’s important to distinguish between the words that are used. No judgment. No attacking. No defense or straight advice. Just questions. Questions to shift a mindset. See some truth that might have been hidden before under years of bias confirmation. And that’s uncomfortable.

Getting back uncomfortable comments does not make me stop though. It keeps me going because it shows there is so much more to uncover.

And I uncovered a lot already in my first book

It makes me so happy to see him so relaxed. I can’t even tell you why, but this means so much to me.

Probably, one would call it love.

Wishing him the best life he can have 💕

Thank you for this, again, incredible session with my horses. The calmness. The right touches. The space held.

I don’t trust many professionals but Sol here clearly says she’s a keeper.

He deserves it 💖

They all do. And sometimes just a session of bodywork can mean the world for us. That’s the least we can offer in return.

Love your horses today a little extra 🥰

For the sake of your horse, hear me when I say

Love is not enough.

At least not when it comes to the form of love we get taught through egoistic needs and unconscious desires.

Nothing is wrong with loving your horse.
But they are their own person, also.

They are not yours to have, to own, to use.

And also, not yours to live out the need to care.

I know. I know. Hard pill to swallow.

But I think this is where a lot of horses still grief silently, with people that mean well, but don’t see them really.

That don’t let air to breathe. Space to be. Freedom to live in a way the horse chooses to.

They don’t want to conform to what we call performance and maybe, they don’t want to conform to what we call “happy & healthy life”.

How did you choose what happy and healthy means to your horse? From a textbook? From generational practice? From an ideal in your imagination?

Or did you really asked them? Did you really journey towards truth and intuition?

Do you even define that for yourself?

Or are you just simply projecting your unconscious insides to the outside to fit the amount of discomfort you think you can carry?

Sit with that.

And if you want to go deeper: Understanding Equus is the book you want to read in 2026.
