What is Horse Medicine?

Horse Medicine is the essence and energy of Horse; the unique qualities, characteristics, physicality, nature and instincts that all combine together into an animal that has a long, rich, and invaluable history of relationship with humans.

Horses have a profound affect on us. It’s hard to remain indifferent to horses, with their large and majestic presence. Usually we find ourselves in a state of awe and rapture at the sight of a beautiful horse; but sometimes we also feel fear.

The history of mankind has literally been carried on the back of a horse!

Horses have so much Medicine to offer us that to put the totality of Horse Medicine into words requires writing a book.
Horse Medicine needs to be experienced to be fully understood.

Below you’ll find directions to the different Medicines that we offer at Medicine Horse

As large, grounded, and embodied beings horses are both firmly in their physical bodies and simultaneously masters of Zen, energy, state. Meditate according to your usual practice or select from a variety of breathing, guided visualization, or heart-coherence meditation techniques which Sam will guide you through.
