Meet Lilly: Heart of The Unbridled Partnership
A soulful guide whose presence helps others remember the peace, resilience, and quiet wisdom within themselves.
Some souls carry a presence so steady, so soft, that without a word, they remind us how to breathe again.
Lilly is one of those rare beings.
Born with a playful spirit and a wise, listening heart, Lilly has spent her life quietly guiding others back to their own.
From her early days of friendship with her beloved companion Danny Boy, to her transformation alongside a wild herd, Lilly’s journey has been one of resilience, tenderness, and deep emotional wisdom.
Today, she stands as a healer, a mirror, and a partner in the work of coming home to yourself.
At The Unbridled Partnership retreat, Lilly offers her gift freely inviting you into a space where you can remember what it feels like to be seen, held, and accepted exactly as you are.
A Bond Beyond Words
When Lilly first arrived at the Angle K ranch, she was just seven years old full of spirit, sensitivity, and a quiet curiosity about the world around her.
It was there that she met Danny Boy, an older gelding who was healing from the recent loss of his long-time companion, Poky.
Grief hung softly around him, but Lilly approached not with force, but with presence.
She simply stood beside him, offering the one thing that cannot be taught: companionship without expectation.
Their bond deepened naturally two souls recognizing something in each other beyond what words could express.
They spent nearly a decade side by side: grazing, playing, resting together under Colorado skies.
Through seasons of change and the rhythm of daily life, Lilly learned what it meant to stay, to witness and to love without needing to fix or control.
During this time, Lilly’s natural instinct for emotional connection became clear.
She intuitively attuned to the hearts around her, offering comfort not through action, but simply by being fully present.
One day, her gentle spirit revealed itself in a moment that remains etched in memory:
A newborn cria on the property approached Lilly, uncertain and unsteady on its legs.
And without hesitation, Lilly lowered her head and softly reached out offering her nose in greeting, bridging the space between two beings with a touch of pure kindness.
These early years shaped Lilly into the horse she was always meant to be; a quiet guide, a steady reflection, a heart large enough to hold the sorrow, joy, fear, and hope of those around her.
Little did she or Antoinette know that these gifts would only deepen in the years to come.
Sometimes the quietest beings speak the loudest to our hearts
Learning from the Herd
Lessons Only Horses Could Teach
After many years of sharing life with Danny Boy and Antoinette, a season of change arrived once again.
When Danny crossed over, Lilly faced a crossroads of her own.
She grieved the loss of her longtime companion, her steady anchor.
And in her quiet way, she let the sorrow settle into the soft places of her spirit.
Knowing Lilly needed companionship something Antoinette could not provide alone without adding another horse, she made a heartfelt decision.
Lilly was moved to a nearby sanctuary, a place where horses and humans healed side by side.
It was a place filled with wide pastures, open sky… and something even more sacred: the wisdom of the herd.
At the sanctuary, Lilly was no longer just surrounded by domestic horses.
She found herself living among recently rescued wild mustangs beings who carried the raw, unspoken language of freedom and instinct.
And it was here, among them, that Lilly remembered something older than training, older than human expectation.
It wasn’t humans who taught her.
It was the horses themselves.
Through the rhythms of the herd, through silent communication, body language, energetic alignment Lilly blossomed.
She Learned:
How to listen beyond words
How to trust her body and her energy fully
How to step into her own sacred role - not as a follower, but as a mirror and a holder of space
One special connection stands out: a bond formed with a once wild mustang, a horse who had learned the ways of humans but never lost his raw spirit.
Through him, and through the herd, Lilly reclaimed her wholeness - not by becoming more, but by remembering who she already was.
Lilly connecting with one of her first wild teachers—a silent bond built on trust and presence.
Becoming the Healer
From Silent Witness to Sacred Guide
The lessons Lilly absorbed from the herd did not fade when she left the sanctuary they became a living part of her.
Today, Lilly lives at Affinity Ranch, where she continues her sacred work alongside Antoinette.
She partners with individuals of all ages and abilities, especially those navigating challenges and offers them something no words can replicate:
A field of unconditional acceptance.
A steady mirror of emotional truth.
A breath of coherence when the world feels overwhelming.
Lilly no longer just reflects emotions
She anchors healing.
She helps regulate the nervous system, inviting humans into alignment with themselves through presence alone.
Her gift is not flashy. It is not forced.
It is the gentle, powerful reminder that you don’t have to do anything to be worthy of connection.
You simply have to be.
When you step into Lilly’s space, you’ll feel it:
Your breathing slows
Your heart rate steadies
Your mind softens
Your body remembers what it feels like to be in harmony
And in that sacred stillness, something inside you shifts - not by force, but by grace.
At The Unbridled Partnership retreat, Lilly serves as a living bridge between head and heart, body and spirit.
She offers not healing to you, but healing with you - a partnership of presence, breath, and trust.

Lilly’s story is not one of arriving at a destination.
