Meet The BWH Herd

Chinook

My very first horse, an ex-race horse and the eldest horse I own.

Chinook is a thoroughbred, that I got from an auction farm.

He had been removed from the racing circuit because he wasn't good enough. I suppose he was trained for classic riding.

All of his story is not available, however his behaviour tells the story of many racing horses. 

​

• Solitaire.

• He teaches us to be comfortable being alone. It is not about being alone it is about being in the best company with ourselves.

• He shows up for people in a passive way.

• He is wise and is there only for those who are willing to go deep within themselves.

• Has old wounds resurface in us

• He is an old soul. Reminds us to take life easy

• Do not eat the whole elephant at once but one bite at a time

Duke

Then came Duke, a roan Clydesdale who I found after having lost Tory,

another Clydesdale who I saved from the kill pen.
 

I didn't have her that long but she left me with a love for that breed which had me look for another => Duke.

​

Duke is the perfect example of a leader - leadership vision, passion, holder of values, patience, teacher, confidence and humility, compassion Interpersonal skills, communicator, loyalty, integrity, patience.

He is huge, but has a kind heart and is gentle and demonstrates great respect.

Empowerment - make yourself big. Life is bigger than what we see.

Miss Daisy

Miss Daisy, a quarterhorse. I found her when I was looking for another horse to add to my herd, as I was growing my business.

She belonged to a young woman who had it on her bucket list to own a horse and discovered she had other passions but wanted a good home for Miss Daisy.

​

•She is beautiful and she doesn’t know it.

•She is sociable, loves to connect. •Has a huge heart.

•She is a healer
•She is kind but alert.
•Protective and reactive.

•She exudes all the qualities of a great mother, friend, sister, friend.
•Passionate and gentle.

Beau

When I picked up Miss Daisy, I was told another ex-racing horse with a heavy baggage of abuse was going to be sold for meat. Consequently, I picked him up as well, and both him and Miss Daisy travelled together to my farm.

It took Beau over a year to adapt to me. We share a beautiful story together of what it takes to build trust: consistency, respect and patience. Beau is now thriving.

​

Beau has trust issues, the result of deep trauma. He is very sensitive to energies and is intolerant of negative emotions. He can be a bully and has many fears.
• He teaches us to be completely honest and authentic with ourselves, and will only connect with those who reach that state of mind.
• He represents strength, resiliency, adaptability and survival to help us face our fears.

Sophie

A hanovarian/thoroughbred, who was another friend's horse.

She had bought her for her daughter's competitive events but found out Sophie had genetic arthritis and was not able to compete.

I kept her during the time my friend was in legal battles to get her $25K back and when all was resolved Sophie stayed to be part of the BWH herd.

​

• Sophie is stunning.

• She joyful, curious, playful.

• She fits in with anyone.

• Faces her fears and stands strong.

• She is a ray of sunshine. She is spontaneous.

• Open minded.

• She is an extravert and if she could talk she would be chatty.

• She is sociable and draws energy from crowds.

• She is assertive and cheerful in her social interactions.

• She teases and flirts.

• Caring and compassionate

Neptune

A percheron/quarterhorse was the first born here from Miss Daisy and big spoiled horse who is very effective teaching people how to set healthy boundaries.

He is growing up fast.

​

• Innocence,

• See life through the eyes of a child.

• Be childlike.

• Allow discoveries and enjoy the journey of discovery.

• Accept learning without judgement when you make a mistake

• Willing to please but also has a dominant side and dances between both

• Requires clarity and will test until you become clear about YOU

Rascal

Rascal is a great addition to the herd.

​

• Integrity, sincerity and honor when you win his heart

• curious

• freedom - has his own agenda

• can seem stubborn but he is teaching us something about ourselves

• silliness - can be a joker - brings laughter

• Loyal

Jasper

Last but not least, Jasper, another thoroughbred, who I came upon by visiting where he was at.

He was skin and bones and so were the other four horses with him. He called me out there I know because he acknowledged me and said:

" save us."

I asked the owner what he was doing with the horses and he said they were going to be trailored to the meat factory in two days.

​

Well I asked to delay for two weeks and I was able to find new owners for all of them within a week and Jasper came to me.

Jasper is now very healthy and thriving as well.
