What better soundtrack to your Veterans Day? 🇺🇸🎧

• Veterans reflecting on reading horse signals

• Carly on mutual relationships with horses
• Glenn on legacy and service
• Rhonda on founding HERD and creating a place to belong
• The energy, laughter, and purpose of a live fundraiser

Healing Power of Horses

Rhonda Fritzshall, Co-Founder and Facilitator of HERD FOUNDATION 501c3 and Founder of Equine Assisted Healing LLC equine- inspired experiential learning programs located in Delray Beach Florida.

Herd translates to family in horse language. Horse wisdom is concerned only with the present, and there you will find gratitude, connection, and peace. When you enter into a relationship with a horse, you have opened the door to your soul, your authentic self. Acutely attuned to human emotions; horses offer us honesty and non-judgemental feedback. They show us what works and what doesn't work, and what's essential in relationships with self and others. They can help us become unstuck, where we may be emotionally blocked. They don't obsess or hold on the things. Horses model self-care, taking responsibility for their own needs, actions, and decisions. They don't turn their backs on their herd mates and show us how "mutual wins" create harmonious relationships and community. Survival for horses depends on sticking together. Safety, comfort, food, and play are the most important values for horses. I am incredibly grateful to witness the power of healing when humans and horses partner.
