Francine | Herd Essence

For the love of a herd of horses in nature. And to observe what unfolds when nothing is asked of them. 

Welcome.

This is a quiet corner of the internet where you can spend time with a small herd of horses including a donkey living as naturally as they can. Grazing, resting, wandering through the trees, and simply being horses.

Here you’ll find unhurried videos from the land, stories from life with the herd, and occasional reflections that arise from paying close attention.

There are no rushes, no performances, and no pressure to learn anything.

Just an invitation to slow down, observe, and reconnect with the quieter rhythms of nature.

I’m Francine, and these are the horses who continue to teach me that sometimes the deepest insights arrive not through doing more, but through being fully present.

I’m glad you’re here.☺️

Francine, Gemma, Peaches, Zorro, Lua, Jiya and Jakob the donkey
