animals that will accompany each person through life, acting as guides. Different animal guides come in and out of our lives depending on the direction that we are headed and the tasks that need to be completed along our journey. Native beliefs further explain that a totem animal is one that is with you for life, both in the physical and spiritual world. Though people may identify with different animal guides throughout their lifetimes, it is this one totem animal that acts as the main guardian spirit. With this one animal a connection is shared, either through interest in the animal, characteristics, dreams, or other interaction. This Animal Guide offers power and wisdom to the individual when they "communicate” with it, conveying their respect and trust

Horses are my Totem animal.  And this blog is about those we share our lives with, me and my family.  Their names are Beauseant, Epona and Prince.  Two still with us in form, one with us only in spirit.  Each was in dire situations, in need of rescue.  But in rescuing them, what we didn't know at the time, is that THEY rescued us.  They have brought peace and joy to our lives, they have become our inspiration, our guardian angels, our friends.  I will detail their stories here.  As a thank you to them for allowing us to be a part of their lives...and as a thank you to God for sending them to us.
