...I’d love to invite you to share something. What are your dreams with horses, no matter how big, small, quiet, or bold? And I mean the real ones. Not just to spend time with them (which is beautiful), but the ones that stretch you a little. Because there is so much more available to us than just loving them and love, when paired with understanding and courage, can create extraordinary things. It's where magic and self-belief lives. Horses are incredibly intelligent.They are capable of so much when invited to use their brains. That's what I try to share for example across my socials. Liberty. Bridleless riding. Deep trust. Lightness. Good partnership. I find that sometimes my students shrink their dreams because they think they’re unrealistic. Sometimes they shrink them because they don’t believe yet that they're capable. I always think they are capable. No pressure coz I cannot make them see, only guide. But when they do realise what is possible, I am usually met with a huge wow and a smile that extends to the moon and back. Money can't buy that. 🤩 So tell me, if nothing was holding you back, what would you love to experience with your horse? This is a brave and safe space. Dream out loud 🐴✨🫶

Just reading through posts and I am thinking @Zoë Coade shall we all create a recommended book list? Alongside all your wonderful classrooms 🙂 We all have so many we have read and been inspired by📚📘📕📖📙📗 🐴🤠🌟 Thoughts? I am not sure how to set up in the skool so sharing this post for now....maybe another page just share where we can add our "Book Brief" recommendations??? ☺️🫶🐴🥕

Just wanted to post a few snaps from today... with my grandaughter... Ziggy🫶 She loves spending time with me/the boys but I also firmly hold values of teaching them young that it's not about the riding first!!🐴☺️ Poo picking Grooming Hay management Food and nutrition Coat care Cleaning tack Tidy tack room Mending fences WINTER ROUTINE 😏 Vets, dentist, farrier care.... All start before riding!! Love to know your thoughts on this too! ☺️ She is nearly 3.... if she proceeds to want to ride them then she is starting at the core responsibilities of horse management as I really want her to appreciate a horse is for life.. full annual routine and not just about riding them like on TV ☺️

It's finally Thursday and I'm off the clock! I have a team dinner tonight, but I’m staying strictly sober. Why? Because the Lunar New Year holiday starts tomorrow, and I have a glorious 6-day break ahead of me Actually, we’ve been snowed in for the past two weeks, so I haven't been able to see my girl. I'm so dying to get back out there! I’ve planned some serpentines over ground poles for my 4-year-old mare, Ssemi. I’m so stoked to work on her flexibility and just spend some quality time together after the long break. I’ll try to grab some footage of our session and share our progress with you all this weekend. Wish us luck!

✨ We recently spoke about Podcast Episode 32: Nobody is watching you and I thought it might be helpful to share how I actually apply that in real life these days. Especially at the stables. Barns can be wonderful places and they can also be emotionally charged ones. I’ve had periods in my life where certain people made my time with horses and my students feel incredibly heavy, even unbearable at times. 👉 I didn’t overcome that by changing them. 💪 I overcame it by changing me. I worked on: - my mental and physical fitness - learning to breathe properly - not overthinking - choosing who enters my circle carefully - setting boundaries and keeping them - not negotiating my value - showing up as my higher self, not my reactive self And I have a small ritual. There’s a quiet little place at the stables, slightly out of sight (see video & picture). Before I begin, I stand there for 1–5 minutes. I focus on: - my breathing - my posture - my plan for the day When I walk away, my head and chest are up. That’s intentional. If I see someone who used to raise the hairs on my neck, I tell myself: “Let them.” Then I count backwards — 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and move on. No reaction. No story. No giving away my energy. Because my time with my horses and my students is ours. Not theirs. And I decided to refuse to let anyone rent space in my nervous system without permission anymore. Curious: Do you have any rituals that help you protect your space and energy at the barn or maybe at work or in public spaces ? 🐴✨🫶
