We have some new Tarpan horse fans from Arc! They are naturals, even when our guys are suffering from allergens released this year during the long drought!

Della and her team Flint and Danni at the Rimbey Sleigh and Saddle Club races (stake race, key hole, feed challenge and pick up, precision driving). She says "they are cold minded in training but they do have jam (lol)!" I think that means they love a challenge!

A Salute to Heinz
Heinz, a handsome, gentle stallion born in 1990, quietly chose to lay down for his final rest on September 12, 2026. He was named after Dr. Heinz Heck, Jr., zoological director of the Catskills Game Farm from 1959, nephew of Heinz and son of Lutz who together bred the first Heck Tarpans in Germany. Brought by Helen Dixon to Dixie Meadows Farm at the closure of Catskills Game Farm in New York in 2005, Heinz sired other Tarpan horses and lived the last decade of his life close to his mare friends Dixie Sue and Catskills Basha. Here is Heinz in his younger years. We salute your extraordinarily long and peaceful life, Heinz!

No filter, just full and authentic expression... that's one of this herds foundational teachings. To belong to yourself so completely that your very presence becomes an invitation of potential.

The Oregon Tarpan horses have walked in this wisdom since before they were gathered from the wilds of the desert. In each shared experience with them, you can feel this primal knowing of your own free and wholly expressive self rising back into presence.

This month we are joined with Horses for Mental Health and Tarpan Horse Conservation Program to raise funds that directly support this herd in their sharing of wellness wisdoms with humans who need it! Today is the last day donations are matched dollar for dollar - the fundraising campaign is active through May 31. Help the herd share their medicine!

Sharing this post is SUPPORT too!!

We are very grateful to all of those who contributed to our participation in the Horses for Mental Health 2026 campaign. As a special gift, we welcomed Pearl to the Tarpan horse herd in North America. Here she is, 20 minutes after her birth on May 23 with her mother, Sapphire. We brought Sapphire all the way from Alberta to New Mexico in late March! This is her first foal. Generous people help little miracles happen.
