The Era of Horsewomanship Episode 5: Carla Preiss
Join us for an online gathering in The Reflective Horse’ new webinar series: The Era of Horsewomanship. Each month, Cassandra Ogier will welcome a new guest to explore what it means to live and lead in this era. This is a time of courageous connection, intuitive communication, and the magic of co-creation with our horses and ourselves, through conversations echoing from the deep well of the feminine.
This month, Cassandra is joined by Carla Preiss and together, they will talk on the era of Horsewomanship as paradigm shift; reclamation of embodied power, what it means to claim and take up space, and trusting intuition and becoming our own authority; confronting the shadow — acknowledging and unlearning harmful behavior and conditioning (for both human and horse), and that confrontation being necessary to move forward in a new way; what it means that there is no goal or destination, just the path, just the present; how Carla leads from this perspective by walking her own walk.
Date & Time: Sunday, November 16, 2025 @ 10-11:30am Pacific Time.
You will also have a chance to share your questions in the registration form, and we’ll answer as many as we can during the Q&A at the end of our gathering.
✨ Can’t make it live? We will send the recording afterward to everyone who registers.

Guest Speaker
Carla Preiss is deeply committed to shifting the paradigm surrounding horse-human relationships.
Her passion lies in advocating for horses to be seen as the social, soulful beings that they are, and expanding people’s awareness around what’s possible when we move beyond dominance and instead live in true, mutual relationship with our horses.
For the past decade, she has dedicated herself to the Being with Horses philosophy by walking this path with her horse Frankie, and facilitating clinics and individual intensives here in the US. In shorthand, her work could be described as “couples coaching” for humans and their horses, where she holds space for authentic conversations and connections between horses and their humans to unfold, while also teaching concrete relational skills that support the development and deepening of a relationship rooted in mutual respect, understanding, trust, and most of all - love.
Carla holds degrees in Ecopsychology and Counseling Psychology, and alongside her work with humans and horses she works as a licensed psychotherapist in private practice, where she supports clients through trauma recovery, identity exploration, and building a sustainable, values-guided life. She also co-hosts the Horse Time Podcast, and occasionally shares her musings about horse-human relationships in today’s world on her blog or Instagram.
