Why Wild Horses

Wild Horses is about what it's like to be wild at heart and finding our way in the modern world. It’s about horses and all we can learn from them about presence and power, leadership and love. But it’s not all about horses.

Hi, I’m Hannah. 👋🏼

I’m a seeker and a striver. A multi-passionate, mostly-confused human. A dreamer. I feel a lot and worry a lot (climate crisis, anyone?) and when I’m at my worst, it’s usually because I’m overworked, screen addicted, and starved for nature.

You, too?

I want a place to explore all the ways we can slow down, reconnect to ourselves when we get off balance, and fill our lives with more of what we love.

My hope is that folks will join me away from mainstream social media for genuine conversations about all of the above.

In Wild Horses, there will be stories and dreams and horse wisdom and all the things that make life more beautiful. And fun!

I’d love for you to join me.

What to Expect

Everyone

All my written posts are free. I’m just a girl (in the world 🎶) with a business to run and kids to feed and horses to water… I’m experimenting with sharing more vulnerably, and as that takes some time and some guts, you’ll hear from me sporadically. I’m aiming for once a month at the least.

You’ll receive posts in your inbox, but for a little more fun, get the Substack app. There’s some cool stuff happening there!

Paid Subscribers

In addition to my free posts, paid subscribers get a monthly zoom call for the community. There will be a guided meditation, maybe some journal reflections. There will be coffee talk, and as I’m also a Human Design nerd, we may chat about how to apply that to our lives, too.

Quarterly, I’ll interview someone who’s inspired my own life, so they can inspire yours, as well! I’m not going to call it a podcast 😅 but it’ll be kinda like that.

More About Yours Truly

I was born a horse girl, but life had other plans for me until right before my 30th birthday…

My mom’s new partner was a bonafide cowboy, and when he put me up on his favorite steed, Mooney, the shit-eating grin on my face sealed the deal. I started riding lessons the next week, and within a few months, I had a horse of my own—a mustang named Takota.

And that was only the beginning…

I didn’t just learn to ride. I read an article in Oprah magazine about equine assisted coaching (who knew?!), and it wasn’t a hot minute before I was in training to become a coach myself.

Since then, I’ve had revelations in round pens in both northern and southern California, the Arizona desert, the mountains of North Carolina, Texas, Missouri, and of course my home sweet home in the hills of Arkansas.

I don’t even care about sounding cliché when I say that my life will never be the same because of my four-legged friends.

Horses have taught me to live with more freedom, perspective, sensitivity, resilience, and dare I say, delight. There’s nothing like watching one fly across the field just because they feel like kicking their heels up!

In honor of all the horses (but especially my wild one, Takota) who’ve stood beside me, supported me, and catalyzed something new and beautiful in my life, welcome to Wild Horses.

No matter how you subscribe, know that I'll be waving furiously from the Ozark Mountains, to wherever you are in the world, welcoming you to the herd.

Happy to have you along for the ride!
