...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 🐴✨🫶

My name is Dieuwke and the white horse on my profile picture is Diablo. He is a 15 year old gelding who I own for over 3 years now. We had a lot of issues with riding due to no trust between us. That happened because of a fall, headshaking, ill fitted saddle and bridle etc. But after learning alot about me, my energy and how it is affecting my horse we are alot better! But I want to keep learning so we can trust eachother even more (sorry english is not my first language so maybe there are alot of spelling mistakes...) oh and I am from Holland :)

💪 And we’re currently sitting at #172 in Discovery. All organically. No Ads. No podcast promotion (yet). Just a website update, a few social posts/stories, a couple of reels with a CTA… and you. That honestly means a lot.🥰 This space is growing because of engagement, curiosity, and people who genuinely want to get good with their horses. And that’s exactly how I hoped it would grow. As we expand, I thought it might be nice to open the floor a little. You can find most of my background, career highlights, and story on my website here: ABOUT Zoë, but I’m always happy to answer questions more personally. So I’m curious, do you have any questions about: - my journey with horses? - my career path? - mistakes I’ve made? - lessons that shaped me? - what I believe now vs years ago? Nothing is off limits (within reason 😉). If you’ve ever wondered something and thought, “Maybe I’ll ask one day” - this is your moment. Let’s talk. Love you 😘 🐴✨🫶

…when I get to play with this one! Thought was a nice clip to share using rhythmic pressure to back up! We can also do it without, just on breath and energy or with smaller cues of course, so thought this was a nice reminder that predictable pressure creates confident horses. It believe it does not help to always have secret small cues, it’s also not how horses talk always either. Includes hunt (touch) the fence with your butt and come back to mumma, without moving my feet for draw. Followed by a full on Lenny the Licker frenzy 😂🫣🤭 Filmed 2 days ago when we were blessed with a teaser of spring 🌼 🐴 ☀️

✨ Horses remember how something ends much more likely than how it begun. The final moments of an interaction tell the horse what the whole experience meant. A rushed or tense ending can undo minutes of good work, while a calm, clear finish builds confidence and trust. Progress isn’t just about what we practice, it’s about how we leave the conversation when we are finished. Endings teach. Question: What changes when you Get Good at finishing interactions and sessions more thoughtfully? Zoë 🐴✨🫶
