...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 🐴✨🫶

Hey GGWH friends, ever found yourself feeling insecure, worrying about who’s watching, judging, or silently forming opinions? You’re not alone. In Podcast Episode 32: Nobody is watching you - I talk openly about this sharing personal experiences, mindset shifts, and practical ways to move past that inner noise. A lot of it comes from my own journey, both with horses and in teaching. One of the biggest realizations? Most people are far too busy thinking about themselves to be analyzing us. 👉 The beauty of it is that when we stop riding, training, or handling horses through the imagined eyes of others, something powerful happens: - we soften - we breathe - we listen better - our projection of confidence grows - and our horses feel the difference If you’ve ever held yourself back because of what you think others might think, this episode might be a helpful companion. And I’d love to know have you ever noticed how differently you show up when you forget about being watched? Or was it not possible and there are times you decided to do something else instead? 🐴✨🫶 LISTEN to Zoë

Hi friends, Alright, let’s do our Weekly Wins 🤩 ✨ Before I head off for the weekend (I’ll be away and a little quieter here), I’d still love to hear from you. What’s wins have you had this week? Maybe something like: - What felt easier than it used to? - What did you notice about yourself this week? - Was there a moment where you chose a new focus over frustration? I’ll read everything and reply as soon as I’m back. Have a lovely weekend, everyone, Happy Horsing, Zoë 🐴✨🫶

Hi All, this sounds like a very safe place (which can be rare in the equestrian world). I started riding at 6, got my first horse at 13, mourned him at 28, took years away from horses because it felt disloyal, and started riding again about 8 years ago. I ride at a non-profit riding centre so I'm working with lesson and therapy horses who are handled by a variety of people. Giquau has stolen my heart because he was the horse who took care of me while I was pregnant with my youngest son. He's a gentle giant (half draft) who I would literally trust with my life and that of my children. He (and really all the horses) have done so much for me that I want to be the best equestrian I can to give back to them. I look forward to learning and growing in a way that will benefit Giquau (and all the horses I work with). ❤️🐴

…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 🌼 🐴 ☀️
