ABOUT ME:
My name is Laura Bayley, and I am the founder and owner of
Inspirational Equine Services. From a young age I remember fantasizing and daydreaming about
horses and what it meant to be wild and free just like them. My equine journey started at the age of 12 through a local pony club, all those times I’d spent pretending to ride horseback were finally a reality and I knew then that ther
e was no greater place I’d rather be than breathing in the smell of horse hair and feeling the freedom of
what it meant to be up on a saddle. At 16 I went on to play polocrosse and began droving work
through rough and rugged terrain in NSW. At 17 I went on to own my very first horse an Off the Track Thoroughbred. He helped me connect with myself on a deeper level and inspired me to learn more about what it takes to own and educate horses. Between the ages of 18 and 20 I groomed and rode for multiple Eventing and Show Jumping stables, fine tuning my skills and building my experience. I spent two Australian Winters in Northern Minnesota America, working at a Summer Camp teaching children how to ride horses and the art of grooming, basic groundwork and horse management. At 22 I travelled to Canada, worked and lived there re-training and rehabilitating Ex Racehorses for Frank Stronarch at Adena Spring North. Whilst living in Canada I further developed my skills and gained more knowledge and experience grooming for his grand daughter, a Canadian Olympic level Show Jumper, Nikki Walker. For another 8 years I continued to pursue various employment options within various disciplines (such as Racing NSW, Vet Nursing, Business administration and Reception work) to build skills, grow my passion and gain greater understandings that I knew would one day use to inspire me to create my own programs in Coaching, Educating and Training Master Classes for people and their own horses. In December 2018 with a leap of faith I founded Inspirational Equine Services, and in February of 2019 decided to work full-time on growing and evolving my business. A platform to help bring together both humans and horses through educating, coaching, connecting and understanding. An avenue to inspire others to build lasting connections and further develop skills using natural horsemanship techniques and a holistic approach whilst interacting both in the saddle and on the ground. Over the last 12 months I have studied to become an Evolutionary Breakthrough Master Coach (Mindset Life Coach). I have actively been diving deep around and working on my own mindset and emotional awareness, and through this I have learned and gained life changing tools and strategies which I incorporate into my horse education programs. Working on myself on a deeper level has given me amazing insight into the last 20yrs of experience that I have had with horses. I have learned that we have just as much responsibility to learn, grow, develop and understand ourselves as well as doing the same for our horses. Horses have helped me face some of the darkest traumas of my life, they have given me strength and courage in ways that I wasn’t sure existed. I truly believe that our horses are a direct reflection of who we are and how we feel. Like us they are perfectly imperfect and capable of anything we turn our minds too. Horses have a way of helping us stay present, grounded, humbled and are capable of helping us heel from past experiences from the inside out. Through Inspirational Equine Services I get to share my gift, my passion, my experiences and my own techniques with others, who like me, remain committed to gaining more trust, love, understanding and connection with their horses as they venture into the next chapter TOGETHER.
