On November 30th, I had the privilege of being present for one of the most profound experiences of my life—supporting Ronin, a horse I loved deeply, as he transitioned to the next chapter of his soul’s journey.
Ronin wasn’t just a horse. He was a teacher, a leader, and a mirror to my soul. He taught me to ride again, to embrace the beauty of horse stewardship, and to lead with grace, dignity, and strength—qualities he embodied effortlessly. He led his herd not through aggression, but through calm wisdom and the example of his behaviour.
For the last four years, I’ve had the honour of drawing oracle cards with Ronin and his herd, messages of wisdom they gifted to us humans. But since his passing, the herd has refused to draw cards. They’ve shown me they’re grieving too, and their silence speaks volumes.
Less than a week after we said goodbye to Ronin, his best friend and shadow, Onyx, followed him. Onyx had spent his life trusting Ronin’s leadership, always by his side, learning from him, and reflecting his strength. It’s as if he couldn’t imagine a world without his leader, his guide, his friend.
The loss of these two extraordinary souls has shaken me to my core. It’s why I’ve been so quiet here. I’ve been grieving, honouring their memories, and trying to process the immense void they’ve left.
Ronin and Onyx taught me lessons about love, trust, and connection that I will carry with me forever. Their bond was a testament to the depth of friendship, and their passing reminds me how intertwined we all are.
To those of you who have noticed my absence, thank you for your patience and understanding. I’m holding space for myself, the herd, and for the lessons Ronin and Onyx left behind. I’ll return when I’m ready—with gratitude for their lives and the wisdom they shared.
Rest easy, Ronin and Onyx. You’re forever in my heart. #horses #horselove #healing #friends #missingyou
