One of the challenges we see Equine-assisted Practitioners come up against again and again and again is the mis-match between what they want to achieve, and the hard reality of what's achievable. So we've created a solution - based on decades of experience and too many lessons learned the hard way! It's called THE HORSES CONNECT 4-PHASE REALISTIC GROWTH SYSTEM. It's aimed at equine-assisted practitioners but could easily be applied to any business. to help make it manageable and sustainable. Follow the link to join the community and check out the Classroom first. At the moment, there are two FREE courses in there - one for people who are time poor, and another for anyone ready to invest a it of themselves. There's a more in-depth paid version on the way soon. https://www.skool.com/sustain-your-ea-practice-3395/about

Delighted to have @Chaela Sumner here to share her experience of heart coherence with animals. Those of us working in equine-assisted services have seen firsthand the silent and powerful connection to self that horses gently provide 😍 We have so many stories and no doubt you do too 💕 Let’s share them here - even though we’re preaching to the converted 🤣

Versione italiana Horsewatching is a wonderful activity. But it’s certainly not for everyone! To truly understand and enjoy it, you need to be willing to develop certain qualities and put your perceptual skills to the test. **Patience**—and I’d add a good dose of laziness—is one of the essential qualities for horsewatching. You’re there, watching the horses for hours without anything much happening, then suddenly, in a matter of moments, everything goes wild, and you thank your lucky stars for being in exactly the right place at that exact moment and for having waited for a moment that was truly worth experiencing. **Perseverance** in all weather conditions: whether it’s windy, rainy, sunny, or cloudy; whether it’s hot or cold; whether you’re sleepy, alert, hungry, or numb. Rest assured that if you keep watching them, sooner or later something special will happen! **Wide-ranging attention** is another useful quality for the horsewatcher. By wide-ranging attention, I mean a gaze that takes in broad views, making use of peripheral vision—perhaps not completely in focus, but capable of catching imperceptible movements and dynamics to be brought into focus later with care. This is the gaze that multiplies the opportunities to capture interactions that you wouldn’t be able to detect if you were focusing on a narrower field. **Interest** in everything that happens. Observing horses in the wild or in their natural habitat, means being immersed in a natural setting full of characters. Simple extras who sometimes become the true protagonists of unique scenes! And so foxes, wild boars, toads, finches, redstarts, herons, kestrels, and buzzards, but also choruses of field crickets, cicadas, and swarms of midges enliven the scene and interact more or less actively, giving us a more realistic idea of what a horse’s day is like in his own environment.

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