What It's All About

Hello and welcome to Soulful Equine™, home for true horse lovers who are seeking information on natural horse care. Thank you for visiting us.

The information below provides more details about the site itself. There are also links below and to the right where you can learn more about the Soulful Equine Team, or a list of Frequently Asked Questions.

Once a week (Tuesday) the Soulful Equine team will write on a topic related to such things as non-traditional ways of approaching horse care and life in general. Topics could be about our other animal companions or as informal as recipes or the latest joke (horse related? Not always). “Did you hear the one about the horse who walked into a bar...”

You can follow along by RSS, email updates, or just by checking here at our site.

Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.

What Is Soulful Equine?

Soulful Equine is an organization devoted to true horse lovers who are seeking information that will help their horses THRIVE in domestication. This does not imply simple survival, but it means quality of life and longevity.

Who Are We?

The founders of Soulful Equine come from a variety of backgrounds, and we share a love for animals and a passion for helping make their lives better. We are committed to simplifying subjects that are related to animals' overall well being by making information useful and accessible.

Why does Soulful Equine exist?

The short answer is that we love everything to do with horses, writing and education. We thought it would be much easier to blog about and share knowledge through educational materials we create ourselves verses providing answers to the same individual questions over and over again via email, long conversations and numerous resources. This gives us the opportunity to share in a more efficient and less intimidating manner. This also expands to dogs and cats (our other lovable companions).

When did you start Soulful Equine?

Soulful Equine emerged from years of passion, information-gathering and the realization that it is more efficient to have a centralized resource where we could send individuals who were wanting more information about natural boarding practices, natural hoof care and equine / canine nutrition. The actual information-sharing and educational side of the business has been on-going since 2003. Soulful Equine is a new online company that started in 2009.

Why Soulful Equine?

We at Soulful Equine have been on this journey of non-traditional approaches for ourselves since the early 1990’s, and we have acquired many years of knowledge and actual experience. We have tried numerous things over the years and believe that we can help people sift through the mountain of information and narrow the choices down by showing them what worked for us. It’s the goal of Soulful Equine to be a trusted place where people can come to find quality information that is well documented and based on personal experiences. In the process of providing this information, we want to have a fun and inviting atmosphere.

What we Believe

Horses didn’t choose to be domesticated. As their partners, it’s our responsibility to continually seek information that will allow them to flourish despite domestication. When we humans observe and learn from the horse, and then put what we’ve learned into practice, we invariably make the world a better place for horses. Once this discovery process begins, there is no turning back. Once we realize what our equine partners need to not only survive, but to THRIVE, it makes us hungry for more.

Who are our visitors?

True horse lovers… not just horse owners. People who love with their whole heart and who truly want to make a better world for horses. People who believe in, or who are at least open to the idea that, it’s hard to improve on Mother Nature and who believe that the body has the power to repair itself and to obtain / sustain optimal health when knowledge is applied appropriately.

What do they want from us?

Information. Tons and tons of information!

Where is Soulful Equine?

The address of Soulful Equine's headquarters is Tioga, TX "Birthplace of Gene Autry". Tioga is located in the middle of Central Texas horse country. Thanks to the Internet, we can share information with people all over the world and, as a result, hopefully help people and the animals they love.
