Meet Yogi 🤍
Mashal’s big brother—not by blood, but by love.

Yogi came to us from the mountains of Turrialba, from a large Andalusian Spanish horse ranch where foals are born into nature and grow up running freely across the hills with their mothers. He was just a year and a half old when he arrived, a tall, big bay with long legs and the sweetest, kindest disposition I had ever met… and still have, to this day.

Yogi is kind to all horses and all humans. He does not fight, he walks away. He seeks harmony, not chaos. Balance, not dominance. Fairness in all beings and all situations. He truly lives his name, Yogi, which carries the essence of yoga—union.

From the very beginning, his training unfolded entirely at liberty, no halter, no bit, no saddle. Always with ease. Always with gentleness. Never once did he buck, spook, bolt, or resist. Instead, he chose connection deeply and naturally with us and with those around him.

He was playful with Mashal, tender with the sensitive Pai, respectful of Nahar and Shiloh, and calm and trusting with all humans. He loves positive-reinforcement training and will gently remind me when we haven’t done it in a while. He enjoys learning, playing, and doing things together.

While his nobility, kindness, and gentleness are his greatest gifts, he also carries one of the most extraordinary extended trots I have ever experienced, like floating on a cloud in slow motion.

And then there is the sea.
Yogi loves to swim, drinking the salt water as he glides, circling again and again, gentle waves rolling over his back, blue sky above. With or without a rider, swimming in the ocean and rolling in the sand remain some of his greatest joys.

Yogi is my friend. My partner.
There is deep trust and respect between us, and I believe it is mutual. He is a living example of what true partnership looks like. where nothing is taken, and everything is shared.

Yogi is wise.
Yogi is gentle.
Yogi is divine.

Meet Mashal

Mashal was born here on our farm on October 10th, 2017, during one of our Yoga Teacher Trainings. We were all waiting eagerly for his arrival—so eagerly that a volunteer even slept in the barn at night. But his wise mother, Shad, waited until we had gone to dinner and chose to give birth privately, surrounded by Anya, Shiloh, and Nahar.

Mashal was born that evening at 7 pm. The next morning, students gathered quietly around him in wonder as he stood on his tiny legs.

We held a naming ceremony by the fire, with the herd nearby. Each student and each of us placed a name into a basket. When the name Mashal was read aloud, along with its meaning, we all knew it was perfect.

Mashal grew up deeply loved and protected by the herd. Sensitive and trusting, he also knows how to hold his boundaries. He is not a bully, but he does not allow himself to be pushed. He grew up almost like a brother to Yogi, who joined our family when Mashal was still very young.

Today, Mashal is 8 years old—a big, handsome, deeply sensitive boy. Since the passing of his father, Nahar, the king and leader of the herd, Mashal has matured even more. He moves with great grace and lightness, carries the elegance of an Arabian and the strength of an Andalusian, and holds his place in the herd with quiet confidence.

He is kind and cuddly with those who are gentle and calm, and wary of loud, rushed energy. Mashal loves peace—and teaches it by example.

Mashal’s name means torch—a bearer of light.
Not a fire that burns loudly or demands attention, but a steady flame held with care and purpose.

His light teaches us how to move through the world with sensitivity and strength, with openness and clear boundaries. He shows us that true power does not push, and true gentleness does not disappear.

Mashal reminds us that we are allowed to love deeply, trust softly, and still protect our inner peace. That calm is not weakness. That presence is a form of leadership. That light, when held in integrity, naturally guides others.

This is the gift Mashal offers, to the herd, to the land, and to all who cross his path.
A quiet illumination.
A living reminder of how to walk with grace.

I’d love to begin sharing a little about the horses who walk alongside us here at Kindred Spirits

Each horse carries their own presence, personality, and wisdom. They are not here to perform or to be used, they are companions, teachers, and mirrors.

Over time, I’ll introduce them one by one, not through labels or training titles, but through who they are, how they move, how they listen, and what they reflect when we slow down enough to notice.

If you’ve ever felt that horses speak without words, you’ll understand this space.

“Horses do not ask us to become more.
They invite us to become present.”

At Kindred Spirits, we believe connection is the doorway to the horse, to the land, and to our own divine awareness.

Feel free to like, share, or simply pause with this message.
And if you feel called, say hello in the comments.

At Kindred Spirits, we walk a path of connection.

Our work with horses is not about dominance or technique, it’s about relationship. About listening, breath, mutual respect, and the language of energy that horses naturally speak.

Through shared time with horses, yoga, meditation, and immersion in the land, we create spaces for people to reconnect with themselves, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The horses are our teachers in this, gently reflecting presence, honesty, and coherence.

Over time, I’ll be sharing more about what we offer, retreats, trainings, pilgrimages, and simple moments of insight from life lived alongside horses.

If this resonates with you, you’re in the right place 🤍
Feel free to follow along, ask questions, or share what brought you here.

Hello dear ones 🤍

It feels good to be here again.
I’ve been quiet on this page for a long time, but my heart has been gently calling me back, to reconnect, to share, and to open a space for conversation once more.

For those of you who have been part of this community for some time, thank you for being here.
And for those who are new, welcome. I’m truly happy you’ve found your way here.

Kindred Spirits was born from a deep love for horses, for the land, and for the quiet wisdom that reveals itself when we slow down and truly listen. Our work is rooted in connection rather than control, presence rather than performance.

Through time with horses, through yoga and meditation, and through attunement to the energies and frequencies of the land, we explore pathways back to our own divine consciousness, remembering who we are beneath the noise of the world.

Here, I hope to share our lived experiences, what we offer, and the dreams that are still taking shape for the future. Most of all, this is meant to be a space of heart, a place where love and light are extended to humans, horses, and all beings we walk alongside.

If you feel called, please feel free to comment, say hello, or share a little about yourself. I would love to reconnect and get to know you here again.

With love,
Terry 🤍

I would like to share this blog I wrote to honor Nahar’s spirit. And to honor all those whose lives he touched. There are many across the globe. I thank each of you for your love and light that you sent to help support Nahar in these last months.
Many horses have been in my life, Shiloh was my spirit horse in all ways, but Nahar was very special too, he was exceptional, he was a horse filled with grace and he touched many hearts, opening them up to new unchartered parts of themselves, revealing their courage, their light, their dharma.
Nahar was a King, he was a leader, a kind father and a wonderful friend.
I want to thank Johanna for having been such an incredible friend and trainer to Nahar, she loved him with all her heart and was loved by Nahar.
And though it hurts beyond words to say good bye , I do so with a heart that I will keep open to the heart of every horse.
Au revoir Nahar

Nahar, The Name Nahar get his name from the legendary horse of Oromë , one of the Valar in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion . Oromë is the Vala associated with hunting, strength, and the wilds, and Nahar is his mighty steed, described as one of the greatest horses in all of Arda. Nahar is n
