Inspire Me Forward
Inspire Me Forward is a series of conversations where guests from all walks of life and every corner of the world Share Their Stories.
We are now in Season 6: Inspire Me Equine
It came into our hearts that Equine Leadership and Inspire Me Forward should collaborate and delve into the Horse~Human relationship and the paradigm that is the herd.
Equine Leadership (www.equineleadership.ca) is a publication of short stories sharing the voice and wisdom of the horse, now going into its 11th year. Inspire Me Forward (in its 3rd year) is a podcast sharing stories of life and all of the pieces that hold it together, even when it might feel like it's falling apart.
This moment in time seemed like the perfect evolution of the two and it felt natural to invite the horses and authors from Equine Leadership. In this space, they will share their own unique ways of bringing the voice and wisdom of the horse to the human world.
Equine Leadership has a unique vision: We believe that horses, living as close to nature as possible, can provide a paradigm of living that is clear, authentic, and heart-based. There is much to learn that is good for all of humanity, as well as the collective that we call Earth. Spending time observing and interacting with the paradigm of the horses is a move to simplify life, to connect with something profound and enlightening. Their natural way of life offers insight into our truest paths. When we step outside of the ring and into the herd, we experience a relationship of equity and compassion.
At Inspire Me Forward, our belief is that we inspire others when we share our stories and share a collective connection. We let each other know that they are not alone in this big, beautiful world. "The courage it takes to share one's story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to a brighter tomorrow".

Inspire Me Equine
A Collaboration of Equine Leadership and Inspire Me Forward
Our next episode of Inspire Me Equine (Season 6 of Inspire Me Forward) is rich and full of wisdom from our guest as well as the horses. Thank you, Kate Neligan from the Central Coast area of California, USA for joining me in this sacred space. It was such an inspiring and profound conversation. One might say it was: timeless. I will let you, dear listener, find the wisdom that was meant for you.
Kate was one of our illustrious authors in our 8th Edition of Equine Leadership
Here story:
THE AWE OF HORSES
Catalyzing the Great Awakening
My favourite quote is her opening paragraph:
“Horses remind us of who we can be. They require presence, evoke awe, celebrate authenticity, and help us to awaken to our true nature. Just being and breathing with them can help us to reset the nervous system and to feel unconditionally loved and accepted.”
