Reposting and repeating this message to myself and anyone else that needs to hear it…❤️
Never lose sight of who you are, your values and your passion for what truly matters to you. No matter how challenging life can get keep setting that internal compass back to ‘true north’.
We are the sum of all of our experiences, all of our insecurities, all of our triumphs, all of our fears and all of our courage…Never be ashamed of where you’ve come from or what you struggle with, instead offer yourself kindness, compassion and respect….
Don’t give up, don’t lose yourself and don’t let others define you. Ride proud, because you’ve come a long way and the journey goes on…❤️ Tamara x

One of my articles from a while ago….thought I’d share 🙂

There is so much to find in that powerful moment of WAITING. What is it we are resistant to or frightened of in those moments where we aren't "DOING" something?  I have been thinking a lot on this and considering how it can be the same experience we have in a conversation, what we

“Strength is in the untold failures, the falling...the infallible ability to get back up and keep going.
Strength is in delicately holding all that is beautiful within the breadth of the soul and depths of the heart.
Strength is in quiet radiant joy, an aura of halo light conquesting energetic dimensions.
Strength is the silver adornment that glows amidst the dark locks, a silver lining illuminating the many trails traversed, trials, tribulations, triumphs.
Strength is in the scar, the scar seen, a mark of a life lived fully, without trepidation; the scar unseen, a testament to will power.
Strength is in the wrinkle of time, roadmaps to adventures and journeys.
Strength is the wisdom worn face, depictions of a life spent in the saddle, in the sun, in dusty arenas, in paintings of landscapes, in the rain, the wind, the snow.
Strength is a quiet stillness of knowing that comes from the wilderness, from horses.
Strength.
Strength is Soul. Strength is Spirit.
Strength is seen in a life lived without reservation, a life lived careening over bumps, sailing along the winds of time’s journey, traveling gleefully into adventures far, near, and all unknown.
Strength is a life well lived.”

The way a horse responds to you, despite you knowing what aids to use in any circumstance, is relative to how you respond to yourself.

If you are not gentle with yourself you will overdo what you want by utilising too much,
henceforth be too hard in your approach.
Horses sense that in us,
and ‘react’ rather than ‘respond’.

The answer lies in working on yourself first.

That is what is so beautiful when training horses.
They don’t lie to you but you might be lying to yourself.
They merely point it out.

Super clinic weekend at Falls Creek NSW this weekend! What a great group of enthusiastic participants, beautiful arena and property to work on and amazing hospitality thanks to Jess Kelly and Kirsty Simpson. Great to have my wing woman Shona Telfer back with me too! ☺️
It’s a pleasure to see the growth, and results of the work from those who have been training with me for a little while, as well as the transformation that happens even in just the first clinic for our new students and horses!
Balanced horses are happy horses! Looking forward to the next one! ☺️❤️ just a few nice pics taken by students over the weekend…more to come 😊

Coming up soon! 🙂

When your first ever trim in your 5 years of life goes like this it’s worth a few pictures ☺️ Pedro, the younger of the Lusitano brothers was a superstar, all 4 feet trimmed…take the time to set them up for success by using communication, patience, timing, kindness…contact us at Affinity Equitation to find out more about our training and what we can offer you and your horse…#affinity #horsemanship #lusitano #iberianhorses #vertikal #horsesofinstagram

The Luso brothers first adventure into the river 😝 we just love these brave beautiful boys! Only 6 weeks since they arrived at Affinity Horses. At 8 and 5 years old unhandled, never even had a brush put on them, now halters, ropes, people, places…it’s been an amazing adventure so far and we are excited to continue this partnership. It shows what patient, consistent, skillful work can achieve. Follow us for more updates and if you are interested in what we offer for horse and human feel free to contact us! #affinity #horsemanship #classicalhorsemanship #lusitano #lusitanohorse #iberianhorses #vertikal

Nothing beats a swim in the river on a hot day after a training session! Bronte (blue roan Friesian Warmblood mare) and Lio (buckskin tobiano Lusitano Sporthorse gelding) are both doing so well with their starting under saddle work. Happy horses feel confident and calm, we are building a solid foundation for their future…oh and Lio could always become a professional swimmer lol!! 😝 #horsemanship #affinity #lusitanosporthorse #blueroanhorse #vertikalhorse #classicaldressage #lovemyjob #waterbabies #farmlife

Bronte is our stunning 4year old blue roan Friesian Warmblood progressing so well in her journey to being a confident balanced riding horse. At Affinity Equitation we believe in relational horsemanship…an approach that focuses on patient, consistent development of the young horse in a way that supports mental emotional and physical wellbeing. If you would like to know more about our approach including rider coaching to help you support your horse feel free to contact us @affinityhorses @coakley_3 #blueroanfriesiansporthorse #affinity #horsemanship #vertikalhorse #classicaldressage #ranchhorse #blueroanhorsesofinstagram
