NATIVE HORSES
NATIVE HORSES: our actions
Agir pour protéger les chevaux sauvages et guérir les humains.
​
Pour les cultures autochtones, la santé est avant tout un état intérieur d'harmonie et d’équilibre. Radicalement opposés à l'individualisme et à la concurrence, ces traditions portent les valeurs de la communauté authentique, du partage et de l'interdépendance.
Protéger les chevaux, c'est ramener les lieux sacrés dans l'harmonie, et ainsi aider la Terre à se guérir.
Protéger les chevaux, c'est reconnecter les humains à leurs propres racines et aider à guérir des traumatismes et des fantômes du passé.
​
Protéger les chevaux, c'est retrouver les couleurs authentiques de nos savoir-faire ancestraux européens : connaissance intuitive des plantes, traditions ...
​
Depuis 2013, bien loin de toute appropriation culturelle et de tout stéréotype sur les "Indiens", l'association a organisé chaque année des rencontres et des actions militantes pour protéger les chevaux libres et sauvages.
Depuis 2013, l'association fait des donations humanitaires à des associations locales sur les Terres ancestrales amérindiennes, et favorisé des projets locaux d'aide aux chevaux sauvages.

"ReSET - Traditional Ecological Knowledge" Research Group
A research group around the traditional knowledge of the horse, in France and Europe, and in the indigenous cultures of the Americas and the Maghreb.
In collaboration with the Association Cheval Communication , the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse PNR , the research group explores traditional knowledge of the horse, among others by:

days of action and awareness on the ground near BONNELLES (Yvelines), among other things through projects to preserve wetlands with high ecological value ( see complete project HERE )
the study of scientific publications on traditional horse knowledge such as those of Yvette Running Horse Collin ( see HERE )
actions to preserve Indigenous knowledge such as those undertaken with the traditional practitioner Clayson Benally in partnership with the association Les Arts de l'Être
practical and experiential exchanges with places dedicated to the well-being of horses such as La Légende de Tara, EQI Harmonie , Domaine de Kanthaka , Arbo Vallée or La Tribu de Philia in Corsica,
actions aimed at promoting the creation of sanctuaries for horses, in Corsica, in the Yvelines, but also by helping local indigenous communities, such as that of Gray Mountain, Flagstaff, in Arizona .

in September 2021, Native American nations remain impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, the situation stimulates local initiatives. With Cheval Communication and partner associations such as Les Arts de l'être , we help local communities to take concrete action, bring water and fodder to wild or feral horses_cc781905-5cde-3194 region -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_.

Wildhorse Ranch Rescue collects donations on behalf of the Gray Mountain Horse Hero Association, the local association on Navajo lands that helps wild horses in this region, north of the city of Flagstaff.
Recently, these actions made it possible to repair a wind turbine to bring water to a wild herd. MORE INFO HERE
