Cuando un caballo se resiste, la manada interviene. No lo sacaron, sino que le recordaron que podía levantarse. Porque, a veces, el poder de levantarse no proviene de la fuerza, sino de la pertenencia. Solo necesitamos que alguien nos guíe con fe, hasta que recordemos nuestra propia fuerza.

Sé ese alguien, y... que el caballo te acompañe, siempre. ✨🐴

🌀Windstorm 4: Ari’s arrival, reminds us that healing does not always begin with words.

Sometimes, it begins with recognition.

Ari and Windstorm are both carrying pain in different ways—both misunderstood, both guarded, both learning how to trust again.

Their connection is not built through force, but through presence.
Through patience.
Through quiet understanding.
Through simply being seen.

Horses have a way of meeting us where words cannot.

They don’t ask for explanations.
They respond to truth.

And sometimes, the ones who are healing recognize each other first.

Maybe that is why some horses feel less like animals and more like mirrors.

🌀Windstorm 5: The Great Hurricane, the fifth and final installment of the German adventure series, reminds us of something important:

✨sometimes loving a horse means protecting them, not using them.✨

This story touches on something deeper than adventure—it asks us to look at how animals are treated when they are seen as performance, profit, or possession.

A horse is not a machine.
Not decoration.
Not entertainment.

They feel fear.
Stress.
Trust.
Safety.

And sometimes the kindest thing we can do is listen when something feels wrong.

Real connection with horses begins when we stop asking, “What can this horse do for me?” ❌

and start asking,

“What does this horse need from me?” ✅

👉That is where true horsemanship begins.

Welcome to Horse Bud!

I’m Jazmin, with my horse son Apache.
I’ve had him since he was born, 24 years ago.
We happy, shiny beings living in Ibiza.
I speak Spanish 🇪🇸, English 🇺🇸 and French 🇫🇷.
My horses speak food and love. 🥕🫶😋

Here, we celebrate the magic, sensitivity, wisdom, and beauty of horses.

✨Follow along for heartwarming stories, gentle horsemanship tips to deepen your connection with horses, the artisans who keep tradition alive, and a bit of humor here and there.

💬 DM me if you’d like to share your story — I’m gathering them for a book celebrating horse-human bonds. 💫

Some dreams do come true… 💫

About 20 years ago I saw these horses in a photography exhibit in SOHO, NY, and felt something I couldn’t explain.

Back then I had one horse, but somehow knew there would be two someday, just like that photograph.

Now, I look at Apache and Airam, and I see them. 🤩

Life has a quiet way of bringing things full circle.

So grateful to have met @dutesco last year — not only for his incredible work, but for the time, presence, and care he put into this special dedication in his book that I was lucky to take home.

If you don’t know his work, you should. It’s truly beautiful! ✨

Last week was Apache’s bday. 🤗 I’ve had him since he was born. 24 years together…and still on a mission for the best grass in the field. 😜

We’ve been through a lot, and this season of healing feels different. Seeing him like this again, it means everything.

Grateful for the support along the way (@nutra_horse 💚 and @atzaro_valley_horses 🤍).

My king. Always. 🥰

Celebrating Airam’s bday 3 weeks ago. 🥳 This might look like a simple moment, but it means more than it seems.

For a long time, even a few minutes of grazing was too much for his digestive system. And now, here we are, slowly, gently, getting there and what better day to go out grazing again than his bday. 🤗

Thank you, @nutra_horse and @atzaro_valley_horses for your help and care. 🤍

Today I planted my first “baby”. 🌱

This little postcard…is actually made of seeds.
So instead of keeping it forever, you plant it…and something new grows.

I’ve never done this before.
I don’t know if it’ll work.
But I guess that’s kind of the point.

Make your move…even when you’re not sure what will come out of it.

Let’s see what grows. 🌼✨

I’m sorry…since WHEN do horses paint?! 🤯

No, but really…watching this made me pause.

Because maybe creativity isn’t something we “do”. Maybe it’s something that moves through us. 🌿

And maybe horses don’t need to learn it…they just don’t forget it. 🤍

What if it’s us who have to remember? ✨

Bud out here reminding us… 🎨🐴

Places like this feel like little sanctuaries. Where horses graze freely nearby and humans gather to breathe, stretch, create, and reconnect.

Yoga beside horses.
Sound baths under open skies.
Art, stillness, and quiet presence.

A reminder that horses offer so much more than riding.

Sometimes the greatest gift they give us is simply their presence. 🤍

✨The world needs more spaces like @crystallineequine

💭 Have you ever experienced the quiet magic of simply being near horses?

#horsehealing #equineconnection #horsewisdom #healingwithhorses #horsebud

Horses have a quiet way of holding space for what humans are going through.

Actor Eric Dane spent time at his girlfriend Janell Shirtcliff’s ranch in Texas during his battle with ALS — a place where, according to sources, he found quiet, normalcy, and moments where he didn’t feel like a public figure or a patient.

During that time, they even bought a horse together, whom he named Angus Cloud in honor of his late “Euphoria” co-star.

It’s a reminder of something many horse people know deeply: horses offer a space where we can simply be ourselves. No expectations, no roles to perform — just presence.

In difficult seasons of life, that kind of authenticity and calm can be profoundly healing. 🤍🐴

If I win the lottery I won’t say anything… but there will be signs. 😜

The signs:

• horses everywhere.
• animals living peacefully together.
• people learning to slow down.
• nervous systems finally relaxing.

Horses aren’t just animals we ride.

Sometimes they’re the healers we didn’t know we needed.

👉 Would you spend a day in a place like this?

POV: I’ve never baked cookies before but my horses deserve Michelin stars. ✨

So I made them star-shaped horse treats. 100% handmade and soft-baked for senior-teeth, since Apache is turning 24 and Airam 21. I’m learning how to take better care of them as they age, and apparently that now includes baking. 👩‍🍳

I actually tried one, for quality control, obviously. 😜 And they’re good! I mean, there’s no molasses or added sweeteners, so they’re pretty bland, but taking into account its simple ingredients, they taste good! 👍

They have oat flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, a few fennel seeds, finely grated carrots, unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, and water. Plus everything was organic. At least that’s what the labels said. 😉

👉 Have you ever baked treats for your horses? What do you use?

Across the world, equine-assisted programs are being used to support youth navigating trauma, instability, emotional challenges, and complex life circumstances.

Through everyday interactions — grooming, leading, walking beside a horse — young people can experience relationship in a different way: slower, non-judgmental, and grounded in presence.

These spaces often support the development of confidence, emotional regulation, responsibility, and trust — not through instruction alone, but through lived experience.

Work may happen in the saddle or on the ground.
Often, the quiet moments beside a horse are where meaningful shifts begin.

Many programs collaborate with educators, therapists, and community organizations, adapting each experience to the needs of the young person.

This trailer from “Unbridled” offers a glimpse into how connection with horses can become part of a supportive environment for youth finding their way forward.

🎬 Unbridled (2018)

Some days, even small things feel heavy.

Time spent with horses can offer quiet moments of contact — with the body, the senses, and the present moment.

No need to explain.
No need to perform.

Just rhythm, movement, breath, and relationship.

Equine-assisted spaces are increasingly used alongside mental health care to provide structure, companionship, and gentle engagement for people living with depression.

Not a cure.
But sometimes, a place where feeling slightly more alive becomes possible.

Some of these moments come from my own time with horses.

Support can be quiet — a shared pause, a steady presence, a moment of being met.

💬 Do horses shift something for you too?

In his final message to his daughters in Famous Last Words (on Netflix), Eric Dane shared four lessons about how to live — simple, honest reflections shaped by illness, love, and perspective.

Listening to his words, I couldn’t help but notice how deeply they echo what horses teach us — and what equine-assisted therapy is rooted in.

Live now.
Horses live in the present. In equine-assisted approaches, this present-moment awareness can gently bring people out of rumination and back into connection with their body, their environment, and each other.

Fall in love with something.
Meaning matters. Passion, curiosity, purpose — these experiences help people move through difficult seasons and reconnect with what makes them feel alive.

Choose your people wisely.
Horses respond to congruence, safety, and authenticity. Equine-assisted work often creates space to explore connection, trust, boundaries, and what it feels like when people simply show up for one another.

Fight with dignity.
Horses don’t avoid challenge — they move through it while staying present. This can support resilience and the experience of remaining connected to yourself, even when life is hard.

Eric Dane also said that laughing was his favorite thing to do. That matters. Because healing isn’t only insight or strength. It’s also moments of play, lightness, and shared joy. Horses invite that too — the small, unexpected moments that soften us, surprise us, and remind us we are still alive inside the experience.

These lessons are not only life advice — they are relational experiences. Experiences that can happen in friendship, in community, and sometimes…beside a horse.

Honoring Eric Dane, and the quiet ways his wisdom continues to guide us — toward presence, connection, courage…and moments of joy. 🤍

Eric Dane shared his ALS journey publicly with honesty and courage.

ALS changes how a person moves through the world — physically, emotionally, and relationally.

While there is no single path through this diagnosis, many people living with neurological illness seek spaces that help them reconnect with movement, dignity and presence.

Horses are one of those spaces.

Through equine-assisted therapy, the horse’s rhythm can support posture, nervous system regulation and emotional well-being — offering something that medicine alone cannot always provide: relationship, agency and borrowed movement.

This post is a gentle honoring of Eric Dane, and of everyone living with ALS — and the quiet ways support can exist. For more info on ALS, look into @targetals 🫶

In loving memory of Eric Dane (Nov. 9, 1972 - Feb. 19, 2026). May you always rest in power, McSteamy! 🤍

Actor Robert Duvall was widely respected for the authenticity he brought to Western storytelling.

Across projects like “Lonesome Dove”, “Open Range”, and “Broken Trail”, he portrayed riders, trail guides, and caretakers — characters closely linked to horses.

But behind those roles were real horses who helped shape the performances. One of the horses, Redman, accompanied him across multiple roles, forming a long-term partnership that stayed with him beyond the screen.

Duvall spoke about the importance of riding outside of filming, training with horses and forming partnerships that informed his work.

Later, he directed “Wild Horses”, continuing a quiet thread present across his career: horse stories as stories of mentorship, movement, and companionship.

So…did the Year of the Fire Horse (Bing Wu) start on February 3-4 or today (Feb 17)? 🔥🐎

Trick question.
Both.

February 3-4 marked Li Chun — the solar start of spring in Chinese astrology (and my horses already started shedding in early February — they clearly follow the solar calendar). 😛

February 17 is Lunar New Year — the celebration most people follow.

Same year. Different systems.

2026 = Fire Horse.
An energy that only comes around 60 years.
Bold. Independent. A little untamed.
Not here to be handled.

And yes — the sky added a solar eclipse for dramatic effect. 🌚

Tell me…what’s your fire this year? 🔥

Meet my constellation of horses. 💖

“Elements of Love”, a portrait of me and my horses, illustrated and colored in by the talented @nica_draws_nature

Each one was painted through their element:

🌙 Ištá Wí - Moon
🔥 Apache - Fire
💧 Airam - Water

Different elements, one herd.
Different stories, one heart.

A reminder that every horse carries their own medicine and every bond has its own language.

Meet Ištá Wí (ishtawi) — Lakota for Moon Eye, my first mare. 🌙👁️

One brown eye, believed to see clearly in the bright light of day.

One blue eye, known as a “watch eye”, said to see into the spirit world.

I don’t know if it’s legend or truth…but with her, my own vision opened. Into horses, into feeling, into the invisible.

I hope she still visits me sometimes. 🧿✨

Horses have always carried meaning.

In some Plains Native traditions, horses were painted before battle, raids, hunts, or major journeys — not as decoration, but as prayer, protection, power, and story.

Meanings varied by tribe and time, so this image is a simplified overview…but the idea still moves me:

✨a horse could carry a story on its body.✨
