In this heartfelt conversation, Anna Twinney invites us to slow down, care for ourselves, and meet our horses with presence. She shares how horses read our inner world so clearly, and how mindful self-care, centered emotions, and energy awareness open a deeper channel for communication. We explore simple ways to notice energy shifts, support the body’s natural healing, and honor the horse’s identity and memories. The message is clear and encouraging: when we connect with intention and compassion, both horse and human can heal, grow, and find more ease together. Takeaways ☆ Self-care is essential for effective animal communication. ☆ Horses express emotions differently than humans, yet feel deeply. ☆ Being centered and grounded improves clarity and connection. ☆ Energy healing can benefit both horses and humans. ☆ Horses carry memories and emotions similar to ours. ☆ Energy work supports the healthy as well as the unwell. ☆ Understanding a horse’s identity can guide healing. ☆ Human actions and energy can trigger emotional responses in horses. ☆ Connection and intention are key in compassionate horsemanship. ☆ There are many meaningful ways to engage beyond riding.
