Welcome to the kickoff of a very special new series on Reinforce the Horse.

In this series, we go behind the scenes of the Dear Equestrians Collective Coloring Book, a project illustrated by Nica Quinn that intuitively captures the stories of 33 equine partners and their humans.

In this premiere episode, we sit down with Nele Schreurs, who shares her inspiring journey with her two horses, Beau and Gambit. We dive into:

• The Transition from Riding to Connection: How an injury led Nele to discover the transformative power of groundwork.
• Working with "Misunderstood" Horses: Supporting a former breeding mare and a night-blind pony through patience and presence.
• Craniosacral & Energy Work: Nele’s current studies in craniosacral and myofascial work and how she receives intuitive messages from horses during healing sessions.
• The Magic of the Coloring Book: The "Jacob’s Ladder" synchronicity and how coloring provides a safe, meditative space for equestrians globally.

Choose connection, and love and magic will happen.

What if your horse isn’t “being difficult,” but carrying a story no one has heard yet? Aly chats with animal communicator and quantum energy healer, Katherine Luna Sol, to explore The Antidote, her psychosomatic approach that listens to the body’s narrative, releases the root belief, and “drops in” a precise antidote—truths like I am safe, I am worthy—that the nervous system can actually receive. From performance horses stuck in “I’m bad” loops to Mustangs holding terror from roundups, Katherine shows how neutrality—not suppression—unlocks real change in posture, focus, and connection.

We get practical and scientific. Katherine shares how she blends emotion code work, biofield insights, and remote sessions to support issues conventional tests may miss, including thyroid imbalances and early-pattern Cushing’s. She talks grounding with negative ions using a simple stainless-steel spoon on feet and spines, soft “Madigan-style” squeezes to hug an overwhelmed nervous system, and co-regulation practices that turn spooky energy into soft eyes and steady breath. Her core ethics—ask for consent, honor free will, do no harm—reframe leadership as lead-mare wisdom: attuned, congruent, and calm rather than dominant.

We also bridge intuition and veterinary care through a hypermobility case that pointed toward connective tissue vulnerabilities and smarter breeding choices. Along the way, Katherine explains balancing left–right as feminine–masculine, why anger in saintly horses needs safe expression, and how soul contracts can be rewritten from struggle to joy. Try her quick heart-to-heart exercise: hand over your chest, breathe, imagine your horse’s heart, and feel the field shift.

What new “antidote” is your horse asking you to embody?

Kim McElroy is back with us to share more specifically about the amazing Council of Horses Oracle Deck.

Kim has been drawn to horses since childhood, and as soon as she could hold a crayon, this manifested as her art. For more than thirty years, she has been known for her intuitive understanding of the sentient nature of horses and her ability to infuse her art with their spiritual energy. She distills this energy into expressions of the horses' quintessential essence in ways that transcend how they are traditionally defined. Through her incredible mastery of pastels, and her talent in writing about her visionary insights, she conveys the power and beauty of the horse’s form—yet more than that, she offers us a timeless glimpse of its soul.

In 2000, Kim and her husband, Rod, created SkyeLandeSea sanctuary in Washington State, where they provided loving forever homes to rescue horses and a menagerie of other animals. Their sanctuary is now home to a resident herd of wild but well-fed deer, and two capricious house cats.

Kim is the co-author and illustrator of The Council of Horses Oracle Card Deck and Guidebook, and illustrator and co-creator of Way of the Horse: Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery Card Deck and Guidebook by Linda Kohanov.
