DEEP AND MEANINGFUL
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?

PIVOT!
When this community first opened, the plan was simple: create a secure, private space for Horses Connect students to access resources. Facebook had run its course for us and Skool ticked all the boxes because it’s organised, contained, professional, and fit for purpose. So we set it up that way. · Clear. · Structured. · Professional. · Very, very… serious. 😶 Which is fine on one level. This is serious work. People, horses, ethics, responsibility are all non-negotiable. But something was missing. Me. 🤪 More specifically, one of my core strengths: humour. Not jokes-for-the-sake-of-it humour, but warmth, lightness, humanity, and the ability to exhale, and to admit that sometimes we get it wrong too! The kind of humour that says: we take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Anyone who’s trained with Horses Connect in real life knows this only too well! 😉 There’s always been laughter, stories, raised eyebrows, and the odd ‘oh thank goodness it’s not just me’ moment. Somewhere that got lost and this community became BORING! If our horses were on Skool they’d have noticed! They don’t expect or respond to stiff, polished versions of us. They respond to presence ,and authenticity. Humans being human – warts and all. This community will always be professional, ethical, and grounded in best practice. And now it will also be more relaxed, more conversational, and occasionally playful. 🤭 · Same integrity and professionalism. · Less stiffness. · More relaxed. · Better learning. REFLECTIVE NUDGE Where might you benefit from loosening up a little in your life or coaching?

WHAT ARE YOU DUMPING?
Spring has sprung in the Northern Hemisphere and we’re all REALLY looking forward to longer, brighter, dryer, warmer, and mud-free days with our horses 😊 If you could eliminate ONE aspect of Winter - as a horse person - what’s going on the muck heap?
