If you celebrate Christmas you’ll be highly aware that we’re less than a week away from that most wonderful and challenging day 😊 I have a theory that if you do something at Christmas at least two years in a row it has the potential to become a tradition. We can quite easily slip into habits we don’t necessarily enjoy - like visiting the neighbours for pre-Christmas dinner drinks, or opening one present each on Christmas Eve, or having pancakes for breakfast on December 25th 😊 In our house, we have lasagna for dinner on Christmas Eve. It’s traditional 😊 But nobody remembers why - except me 😊 Many years ago, our young daughter wanted to contribute to the cooking and only knew how to make lasagna. So that became - and still is - our Christmas Eve dinner, only now it’s made by me 😊 🤶🏻 So what traditions does your household follow? 🤶🏻And where did they come from? 🤶🏻 Are there any traditions you’d love to drop? 🤣

Imagine - you have the opportunity to have not one but TWO luxury items you’ve always wanted. No strings attached at all, at all. Nobody will have less because you have more 😊 But there’s a catch! 😉 One of the items has to benefit YOU alone. Not your family, not people in need, not society - just YOU. What are you choosing?

Quick question - how’s your turnout?

Introducing 'A Playful Guide to Horse Archetypes' Imagination, curiosity, and ethical equine-assisted personal development combined. This short course is a fun, creative exploration of how horses can appear as characters in a client’s unfolding story during equine-assisted personal development sessions. Before we begin, here’s an important Horses Connect reminder: This is a playful tool. It’s not science, psychology, or behaviour interpretation. We never ‘read’ horses or assign meaning to their behaviour. We do not analyse the horse or the client. We do not symbolise or interpret emotional states. Instead, we: honour the horse as a sentient being stay firmly in the personal-development lane support client agency and imagination let story lead, not analysis celebrate curiosity + creativity Archetypes in this course are simply light, imaginative invitations to notice how a horse’s presence, movement, or stillness can shape a moment, just like characters shape a scene in a story. Because sometimes… - a calm horse can represent an Anchor - a curious one can represent an Explorer - a watchful one can represent a Sentinel - a wandering one can represent a Space-Maker - a steady presence can represent a Companion And sometimes the most meaningful thing is: ‘They’re just being themselves, and that’s enough.’ This course gives you: ✅ A playful, ethical creative tool ✅ Story-based prompts that avoid interpretation ✅ Language that keeps you in your lane as an Equine-assisted Personal Development Coach# ✅ Ways to invite imagination and possibility ✅ A gentle method to your own deepen presence and awareness Who this is for - Equine-assisted personal development coaches - Horses Connect trainees & CPD learners - Anyone who loves imagination, horses, and ethical facilitation Who this is not for - People looking for psychological meaning or symbolism - Anyone wanting to analyse horse behaviour or client emotions - Therapeutic interpretation approaches Our mantra for this course:
