Stretch and Soothe is back for 2024!
Join us here at Hoofbeats Sanctuary with our resident Exercise Physiologist Shianne, as we learn to reconnect with our bodies in our women's trauma-informed somatic movement program.
The program will run for 4 weeks on Fridays from 10-11am starting on Feb 23rd. No experience is needed. What better way to reconnect with yourself through gentle movement surrounded by horses.
At only $5 per class when paid in advance online, it is a wonderful way to calm your nervous system, reconnect and rediscover what you are capable of.

Need to work your horse but lunging is boring and you don’t have time or can’t ride? 🐎

• Try taking your horse for a long walk. On trails or beach or around the block.

• Go for a run with your horse. That way you and your best friend will both get a work out!

• Try long reining your horse and walk behind or set up obstacles and do them together.

Stay tuned for more fun ways to bond with your best friend 🎠

Wednesday wisdom:
Your hands are not to control the horse but simply to feel his thoughts 💜🎠

• Healing is not linear •
Remember that 2 steps forward and 1 step back is still 2 steps forward.
The rehabilitation process is a hard and long road. You may feel like you are stuck and not improving, but this is a normal emotion. Sometimes a fresh prospective can help.
If you feel stuck, reach out 🦄

Tuesday thoughts 💭
Progress always begins where your comfort zone ends

Are you and your horse working together or working against each other? 🏇🏽
After you have sustained an injury, your body position in the saddle may have changed. This can cause a miscommunication and be sending the wrong signal to your horse. 🏇🏽
Even the most minor of changes to your seat can change your whole riding experience. 🏇🏽

A strong core is important for horse riders. It helps provide shock absorption, keeps your riding position symmetrical and balanced, and allows better control 🏇🏽

A lack of core stability results in excessive movement in the saddle, which can interfere with the communication to your horse.

Can you activate your core?
