An Agnostic’s “Guide” to Believing

by

Believing
“Santa Claus does too exist.”

“Does not!”

“Does too!”

Not too long ago I wrote about my overwhelming faith as a child that Santa Claus really did exist.  Back then, my belief was so strong that I never once questioned it, and I was ready to defend it by causing bodily harm to anyone who tried to tell me otherwise.

What a great feeling that is… having no doubt, no disbelief.  Knowing completely that it’s true.  Ahhhhh…  the comfort and feeling of peace.

That was my faith as a child.

Faith as an adult doesn’t always come quite so easily.  Not everything is black and white.

The Equine Scratcher Product Review

by

Equine Scratcher
You probably have horses that love to scratch as much as ours do.  Sometimes they get so focused on the itch that they lose sight of the fact (actually they probably don’t care) that they are pulling their manes and tails out in the process of the scratch.

Well, a company called Two Fair Mares has a solution and it’s called the Equine Scratcher.

A few months ago, Two Fair Mares sent Soulful Equine a letter via snail mail.  Since so few companies contact others that way anymore, it certainly made theirs stand out in the crowd.  We had seen their Equine Scratcher product in an online catalog and thought it looked like a very interesting product and made a mental note to find out more.

Brown Recluses, Nudity and Guardian Angels (G-Rated)

by

brown recluse with quarter
Few things strike fear into the hearts of people quite like spiders do.  The brown recluse, in particular, brings about visions of swelling flesh, open wounds and gangrene.

The brown recluse (also known as the Violin Spider and the Fiddleback Spider) is found only in North America.  North Americans are very fortunate in that there are only two native spiders that are considered extremely poisonous.  In addition to the brown recluse there is her distant cousin, the black widow.

The Brown Recluse Spider – A Nasty Little Creature

The brown recluse’s venom is different from that of the black widow in that it doesn’t affect the nervous system.  Instead, it is a necrotic toxin that acts directly on the skin and muscles to kill the tissues immediately surrounding the bite.  In addition to the dead tissue healing slowly, if at all, severe cases can result in toxic shock and kidney failure.  If you’ve ever seen pictures of human arms and legs that have been bitten, you completely understand how nasty this tiny creature can be.

3 Key Ingredients to a Naturally Healthy Horse

3 Key Ingredients
Like so many organizations, Soulful Equine has a vision and we work each day to stay true to that vision in everything we do.

In my earlier article, Integrity Breeds Trust And Loyalty, I said that according to Wikipedia, one way to tell if someone has integrity is to see if “they behave according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.”

It’s a tall order, and we at Soulful Equine strive for it daily.

We have core principles, and we write about these principles and our experiences in hopes that people will find something useful that gets them one step closer to helping their horses thrive despite domestication.
