In this episode, I’m joined by Brittany Ference, the Executive Director of the Great Escape Mustang Collaborative, for an insightful conversation about the challenges of working with horses—especially wild Mustangs—and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. Brittany shares her wealth of knowledge about how wild horses can transition into domestic life and the unique needs they have as they navigate that journey.
We talk about the personal challenges we’ve faced with our own horses, the valuable lessons those experiences have taught us, and the incredible resources the Great Escape Mustang Collaborative offers to support Mustang owners. Whether you're an experienced horse owner or just beginning your journey with Mustangs, Brittany’s insights on horse behavior, healing practices, and self-reflective work are not to be missed.
Asthe Executive Director of the Collaborative, Brittany is deeply committed to addressing the emotional and physical needs of Mustangs, especially through alternative healing methods like craniosacral therapy, bodywork, trauma release, and energy healing. These methods not only help horses heal, but also encourage humans to reflect on their own emotional and spiritual growth.
Living off the grid in the southern Rocky Mountains of northern New Mexico with her family, Brittany embraces a lifestyle rooted in slow living, simplicity, and deep connection to nature. Her homesteading life and wilderness adventures—such as horseback riding, fishing, and foraging—reinforce her dedication to Mustangs and remind her daily of the resilience and beauty of these wild horses.
This episode is a beautiful exploration of what it means to truly understand and support Mustangs, as well as the transformative power of alternative healing practices. If you’re passionate about wild horses or looking for new ways to connect with your own horse, this conversation is full of valuable insights.
