Horseflies are tiny airborne vampires with the manners of a door-to-door salesperson and the persistence of a tax collector, except they don’t want your money, just a tiny sample of your blood. So we’re talking minor irritations here, not huge emotional triggers. Who or what is pi**ing you off now?

This post will either make total sense to you or none at all! 😍 If you work with horses or even feel drawn to them there’s a good chance you’re someone who senses the emotional weather around you long before anyone says a word. That sensitivity is a gift, but it also means that your own energy needs conscious care. Right now the whole world feels loud, fast, and unsettled in so many ways. When collective energy rises like this, empaths often try, without even noticing, to hold more than their share. So this is your reminder that you don’t have to carry everything. One of the simplest ways to reset is to spend quiet, undemanding time with horses - or any animal, or in nature 🪾 Not training. Not fixing. Not ‘doing’ anything! Just sitting nearby. Breathing. Allowing your nervous system to slow as theirs does. Horses invite us back to presence . Notice the steady rhythm of breath, the sound of hooves shifting or tails swishing, the calm awareness of being here, now. Let them help you empty the emotional pockets you didn’t realise were filling! Protecting our own allows us to keep showing up with clarity, kindness, and integrity for the people and horses who rely on us. QUESTION: How are the huge shifts happening in the world right now affecting your energy?

What small moment with a horse or other 4-legged friend made you smile recently?

For the benefit of the new people, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m going to repeat this statement. ‘The more time I spend with horses the more horse I become!’ This doesn’t mean that I’ve taken to walking on all fours and pooping on the carpet (yet!). Being more horse for me means that · I’m less judgemental. I’ve become blind to physical differences in the people I meet. · I respond rather than react to situations. My knickers remain untwisted at all times. · I don’t take anything personally. Don’t like me? Don’t agree with me? Your opinion is just that – your opinion. And none of my business. · My ability to tune into and read energy has increased hugely. I’ve always had a pretty good BS detection system but it’s foolproof now! Or maybe I trust it more? · I spend more time in my Gut Brain, where imagination, creativity, and intuition thrive. Or maybe I trust that more too now? · My empathy has deepened – as a result of being better able to tune in to energy and trust my Gut Brain. · I’m aware that the present moment is where our power lives. Can’t change the past or make today’s decisions in the future. · I’m fussy about who gets my time and attention, and who I let into my space. Clear and healthy boundaries win! · More ‘being’ and less ‘doing’ keeps me grounded and balanced. · In general, I’m a better human. HERE’S THE QUESTION! How has being around horses impacted your human experience of the world?

Yes, I know it was only yesterday that I posted about lightening up but I have a big question for you 😍 There was an image of me surrounded by horses in another community last night and someone made a lovely comment about their presence 😊 My instant reply was ‘I’m not me without them’. 😊 I’m also not me without my family, friends, work, and nature. So here’s my question Who completes you? Who are you not you without?
