Horse Medicine
What Is Horse Medicine?
Horse medicine is the profound healing, transformation, and wisdom that we receive through our relationship with horses. More than just physical or emotional connection, it extends into the spiritual realm, offering guidance and deep personal insight. Horses have long been seen as symbolic animals and spiritual allies, capable of facilitating powerful shifts in awareness and self-discovery.
Horses are deeply attuned to the earth and exist fully in the present moment. Unlike humans, who often dwell in the past or worry about the future, horses respond only to what is happening in the here and now. Their grounded presence serves as a mirror, helping us reconnect with our heart center, cultivate mindfulness, and deepen our connection to the present moment.
These intuitive beings have an extraordinary ability to sense subtle shifts in energy, emotions, and intentions. Often called mirrors of the soul, horses reflect our internal state with honesty and clarity. Their responses provide direct feedback, allowing us to recognize and work through emotional blockages, fears, or unresolved patterns. Guided by their behavior and energy, we gain insight into the areas of our lives that need attention or healing.
Beyond their emotional sensitivity, horses are powerful spiritual beings that embody strength, grace, and freedom. They symbolize the soul’s journey—both in physical movement and the deeper quest for self-discovery. Acting as messengers, they offer profound symbolism and guidance related to our personal path and purpose.
Horses are also powerful energy healers. With their strong, instinctive connection to their environment, they can sense imbalances within us, often helping to clear blocked energy and restore equilibrium. Whether through their presence, movement, or gentle touch, horses facilitate the release of emotional trauma and stagnant energy, realigning us with the natural flow of life.
Ultimately, horses serve as bridges between the physical and spiritual worlds. Their unbridled energy and deep connection to nature help open the heart and spirit to higher consciousness. Simply being in the presence of a horse can foster a profound sense of connection—to oneself, to the earth, and to the divine. In this way, horses become spiritual guides, carrying us closer to our highest truth and inner wisdom.
About Sonia and Corona
I'm Sonia, and Corona is my equine partner in medicine and life. Together, we are here to support your soul in reconnecting with your highest purpose, true essence, and the wisdom held within your body’s vibrational frequency.
I have always been deeply sensitive—a gift that has allowed me to connect intuitively with energy and, most profoundly, with horses. My journey with these incredible beings began nearly 30 years ago when I met my first horse. It felt like home. Over the years, I have had the honor of developing deep relationships with several horses, including Corona, as well as learning from countless others. Together, they have been some of my greatest teachers.
My first horse, Doxie, was a beautiful mare who taught me about trust, unconditional love, and the profound healing power of horses. She lived to be 28, and while I didn’t fully understand the depth of her lessons at the time, I now see how her wisdom continues to shape me. Later, I co-owned a young wild Mustang named Wyatt, adopted from the BLM. Despite all my human mistakes, Wyatt loved me unconditionally, teaching me patience, forgiveness, and the power of presence.
When Corona entered my life, I was grieving the inevitability of Doxie’s passing and navigating deep personal and relationship struggles. Corona was powerful, breathtaking, and a magnificent show horse—it was love at first sight. We spent all our time together, competing in small shows, and as my competitive drive grew, I asked more and more of her. I believed that winning buckles and ribbons would heal my wounds, that external validation would prove my worth. But in hindsight, I see how I was chasing a never-ending cycle of trying to feel "good enough"—at the expense of both myself and Corona.
She was not an easy horse to ride, and the more I pushed her, the more I blamed her for our struggles. At the time, I had been taught an old philosophy—that control was the key to working with horses. It was heartbreaking. I put Corona through rigorous training programs, forcing her beyond her mental and physical capacity, all while carrying my own fears and insecurities in the saddle. How could I expect her to trust me when I didn’t trust myself or feel safe in my own body?
Eventually, I stepped away—not just from Corona, but from horses altogether. I carried deep guilt and shame for years. In that time, I entered a series of unhealthy relationships, spiraling into depression. Searching for healing, I was led to plant medicine.
This work opened an entirely new world to me. Plant medicine illuminated my shadows, showing me they were not my burdens but my light. I found resonance in the teachings of the Q’ero and was later initiated as a Paqo in their shamanic lineage. This became my life's path. Along the way, I became a plant medicine facilitator, a Kriya breathwork practitioner, and a student of Somatic Integrative Embodiment, Feminine Mysteries, and Sacred Sexuality. I also followed the teachings of the Venusian Priestess Path and studied under several powerful Horse Medicine Women.
This journey has brought me full circle—back to what I have always known deep in my soul: my connection to horses is sacred. All of these teachings are in alignment with my soul and are woven into my Horse Medicine practice. This practice isn't a career I decided to enter, but rather a divine calling, and Corona is not just a horse - she is part of my soul's contract, a mirror and guide on this journey of healing and transformation.
How We Work
Our approach to horse medicine is rooted in cultivating deep somatic connection, establishing a relationship of respect and safety between the mind and the body.
Integrating somatic practices with horse medicine creates a powerful, body-centered approach to healing—one that blends physical awareness with the intuitive and emotional sensitivity of horses. This combination is especially effective in addressing emotional trauma, stress, and interpersonal challenges.
Somatic therapy focuses on how emotions are stored and processed in the body. By increasing awareness of physical sensations—such as tightness, tension, pain, or relaxation—we learn to recognize the ways our bodies communicate emotional states. A key aspect of this practice is co-regulation, the ability to regulate our emotions through connection with another being.
Horses are natural co-regulators. They respond directly to our emotional energy, offering real-time feedback that helps us understand and shift our internal states. Through their calm, grounded presence, they guide us toward emotional balance, teaching us how to regulate our nervous system with greater ease.
By combining the intuitive wisdom of horses with somatic awareness, this work offers a profound opportunity for deeper self-exploration, personal growth, and spiritual attunement. The synergy between these practices accelerates healing, fostering a greater sense of embodiment, resilience, and emotional harmony.
