More info about Coming Home to Horses:
Sessions will be tailored to whatever is needed most by the client, but for the most part they will provide an opportunity for horse lovers old or new to spend time with the horses; being, grooming, connecting, creating relationships, learning ground work and then riding if that is what feels right. Sometimes what a person needs is to feel seen / acknowledged by the horse - hands on or hands off - and this is what is needed to start to re-fill the void. Some need the nurturing connection that grooming, hand grazing etc can be created between horse and human. Others need a gentle approach to getting back into the saddle after a long time away or recovering from a scary fall. There are many ways that horses can partner with us in order to fulfil needs on both sides. What I do find though is that all interactions proceed best when we are mindfully aware of what our own body language and energy is saying to the horse and vice versa. This is a practise that I come back to whether we are grooming or riding or anything in between.
Sessions run for 1hr 15 mins so as not to feel rushed into finishing and this generally allows for things to wrap up naturally and on a positive note.
A package of 4 sessions is $300 booked and payable on the first session of the month.
I am offering a standalone introductory session for $50 to meet and discuss where the client feels is the best direction to go in and to meet the horses and see who feels like the best initial fit - this may well change as sessions progress.
If you're feeling the tug to reconnect to horses, p.m. me for available days and times to book your first session.

Visualization is an immensely useful tool. I use it often myself and for my students in their lessons.

To keep from slumping or slouching while riding...

Imagine that you have an open parachute strapped to your back. The pull of the air in the parachute keeps your shoulder blades together and tall. This imagery will help you maintain your upper-body position as your horse moves underneath you.
