Hi there, I'm Terry Newton. Founder of Kindred Spirits. I created Kindred Spirits out of an unshakable love for horses and a passion for learning and sharing knowledge with all the souls that cross my path. Kindred Spirits itself isn’t so much a place, as it is a collection of moments and ideas shared with all the wonderful people that find their way to us. We're here to give you the tools, knowledge, and space you need to let go of what's holding you back, make positive changes, and live your life to the fullest.
