There's something truly special about the bond between horses and humans. Horses may not speak our language, but they have an incredible way of sensing our emotions and making us feel understood. Sometimes, simply spending time with a horse can bring a sense of peace that words cannot describe. Have you ever shared a special bond with a horse that you'll never forget? I'd love to hear your story!

I love horseback riding—not just for the feeling of galloping freely, but even more for the trust and rapport that gradually develops between horse and rider. Escaping the city to take in the scenery from the saddle offers a rare and wonderful sense of relaxation. When did you first go horseback riding? If you had a horse of your own, where would you most want to take it? 🐎🌿

What draws me most to horses isn't just the power and elegance of their stride, but the trust between human and horse—a bond that takes time to build. 🐎 Sometimes, a single glance or a small gesture is enough to reveal their unique personalities. For fellow horse lovers: if you had to choose, would you prefer the thrill of galloping, or the quiet moments spent simply keeping them company and caring for them?

Hi all. I’m a farrier trying to connect with some more horse people. My wife and I own and operate www.heartlandhorseshoeing.com

We’re all busy people who don’t have time to be checking and interacting with multiple online communities so it makes sense to send everyone an occasional catch-up email rather than expecting you all to be having Skool conversations with each other every day. This way, you can see if there’s anything of interest you want to check out. In the spirit of working smarter, not harder, this message is going to members of both Skool groups - Horses Connect and Sustain your EA practice – because many of you are members of both. What’s the Difference? The main difference is that the Horses Connect Skool community is a public space for anyone interested in equine-assisted work. It also contains the libraries of resources (private) for graduates of the Horses Connect TR?EAL Coaching course and the Horses Connect Equine-assisted learning and Personal Development Course. Sustain your EA Practice is a private group and it’s has just had a name change! We’ve realised that overwhelm, burnout, and that sense of ‘oh F**k what do I do now?!’ is not exclusive to equine-assisted practitioners. Many people in caring professions have the same experience. THE REALISTIC GROWTH COMMUNITY is there to help! Both groups offer free lifetime membership with options to purchase courses, or upgrade to get them free. Remember to keep an eye on both Classrooms because we’re adding more content soon. And, if you have any requests for resources or courses or information, please let us know. What else has been happening? THE REALISTIC GROWTH COMMUNITY is now running a Member Spotlight feature. At the moment, @Chaela Sumner is in the hotseat but she will be handing over to @Lucy Seeley in the next few days. MEMBER SPOTLIGHT is your opportunity to answer a set of questions on you, your business, and anything else relevant to the community that you want to share, and the post in pinned in the community.
