Laurie Higgins-Kerley

This week on Hey Amarillo , we're joined by Laurie Higgins-Kerley , founder of Dove Creek Equine Rescue and Led by Horses , for one of the most moving conversations I've ever had about grief. Laurie began this work after the loss of her husband, during a season when she herself was searching for healing. Through her horses, she experienced a kind of quiet, steady restoration—and eventually felt called to create spaces where others could experience that same healing presence. Our conversation explores grief honestly and tenderly. It doesn't shy away from how painful loss can be, but it also reveals how beauty, connection, and even hope can exist alongside it. Laurie shares how horses help people process emotions without words, how healing doesn't follow a straight line, and why holding space for grief is one of the most meaningful things we can do for one another. This episode is difficult in places—but it is also deeply beautiful. If you've experienced loss, love someone who has, or simply want to understand grief with more compassion, this conversation will stay with you.
