Hello, my name is Katie-
I am passionate about horses, mental health, and how the 2 combine!

I had a dream last night. I had a dream that I picked you up, & we went for strawberry ice cream together 🍓

It was a beautiful dream, & I haven’t been able to shake it all day.

I’ve lost two friends in my life in violent ways, two friends whose deaths I found out about via social media posts.

That’s not something I would wish on anyone, ever.

I worry about most of the people in my life, but some more than others. The ones I can’t see in person. The ones I can’t touch, I can’t hold. & especially the ones I know are vulnerable.

But of all my friends I think I worry about you the most. The grief of not being able to verify if you’re ok, if you’re still fighting- it’s a monster in my heart.

But the joy you have brought me, the comfort, laughs, & inside jokes- I will gladly host this monster to have known your friendship.

As I’ve grown I’ve realized that most relationships {all?} are impermanent in some way. They change, evolve, end. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. & while my heart wants to rail against this; hold you all as close to me as I can forevermore, I can not. So instead I say this-

I love you, I will always love you. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing- I love you 🤍 🍃

She {swipe} is pretty excited about corn dogs & lemonade at the fair 🍋 🌽 {no corn dog emoji??}

Throw a picture of younger you up on the fridge… it helps 🤍

& swipe all the way to the end to see Ben & I realize that we might be too old for fair rides 🎠 🎡🎢 I’ve always had a sensitive stomach but Y I K E S

As always, my dms are open for accountability, for support, for encouragement. You got this 💛

Here’s a picture of me & my “bonus mom”, the woman who has enabled & encouraged my passion for horses over the last decade.

We’re heading out to take the horses on a trail ride, & couldn’t help but laugh over the height difference in the horses, & our own height difference.

I’m 5’10”, a height that often felt daunting & overwhelming for me. I’m taller than my husband, my mother, my sister, the majority of my friends {except you… you know who you are 💜}… a fun comparison rabbit hole that I’ve fallen down too many times.

The truth is, my body takes up space. I’ve dedicated a lot of time & energy trying to get it to take up LESS space, demanding it be less. & for a while it did- but then my life took up less space.

It shrunk, & I lost this horse, this smile, this joy.

Turns out taking up less space isn’t really that great.

What is great?

Taking up a lot of space. Riding a freaking warhorse on the trails with one of the most important people in your life.

Standing tall, being alive… it takes guts but man oh man, it’s pretty cool.

Shout out to Val & Tesoro, you guys have great butts 🍑

🍞 learning to cook some pretty cool things!
places for growth include…
🛌 the return of my somewhat chronic insomnia {please make it stop 😭}
🦆 insurance mandated therapist switch {still really struggling with this one.. I’ve had the same therapist for 6 years}
👯‍♀️ missing my little sister like another limb

That’s pretty much it! Recovery is still trucking along, life is good these days 🤍🍦 grateful for all the steps along the way.

Things are changing & I am feeling called back to instagram and social media. To share more, to educate people. To provide hope, all of the things that this space has given me. But also to advocate & speak up against the horrible lies I hear and the harm being done by diet & wellness culture. Things are changing- and I’m not scared, I’m ready to do something about it.

I’m done suffering - but I’m also done letting others suffer.

About the Herd

Hello, my name is Katie. I am a 22 year old female living in the Midwest. For as long as I can remember I have been hugely passionate about horses, a love that has grown with me. At the age of 13 I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, a disease that I am still battling. The number one thing that has helped to heal me and pull me out of this is the horses in my life, the love and acceptance they have always given me. As I’ve grown I have realized that my passion in life is helping others (both equine and human) to find their own healing.
