I was reminded just recently about how important it is to keep our gut healthy, and to give it extra attention when our bodies are out of balance. And, of all things, it was one of my horses that red-flagged the issue for me and […]

Something happened today that brought this question to mind. No. It brought something like a KNOWING to mind: that Mustangs–even those domesticated and in captivity–share what’s known as a “group mind.” If you’ve ever watched a large school of fish swimming, or birds flying, then […]
