Never underestimate the power of giving your or your horses a voice.

It’s been an interesting week where I had to remove one of the horses in the herd due to a trauma being triggered by a rug going on another horse. Sounds mad but true! When I asked Shelley at Animal Soul Sync to connect with them to see what was going on they replied the rug smelled of rat which took them back to a situation that made them angry to the point they’d pushed one the horses to a point I felt wasn’t safe and needed to separate them til we could understand what had gone on.

One conversation with Shelley where they could voice what had happened and in effect got it off their chest and felt listened to and herd equilibrium was resumed and they rejoined the herd with no signs of aggression.

"Our equine-facilitated wellbeing sessions can help people to find their voices too. Horses are great listeners, non-judgemental, take you as they find you, and give you what you need on your personal journey of healing and self-discovery. Want to find out more? We'd love to hear from you.

When Buddy joined the herd 🥰

I always find it hard to find the words to express what these beautiful horses bring to the healing process ❤️‍🩹 mainly because it’s magical and words never feel enough to what they bring. You really have to experience the magic.

Today after I’d had a pendulum session to address some stuff that has come up over the last few days, I went out in the herd to reflect.

I placed my chair in the corner of the field away from the herd. No sooner had I sat down these 2 came over. We had tears, laughter, yawns and stillness where they took my emotions and helped me process and release. When they were done off they plodded back to the grass.

They have left me grounded with a sense of clarity and focus. These guys just know what we need if we surrender and let them in 🦄❤️‍🩹🦄

Welcome to the family little Buddy. He’s a perfect example of circumstance affecting his behaviour. This boy had a bout of laminitis so was stabled for about 6 weeks, this obviously caused some frustration and pent up energy that he had to release. When I met him last Wednesday we had an interesting session. But after that initial session where he was able to express how he felt about the situation he’s been back leading to and from the field calmly. But the yard he was on full livery don’t want to handle him so he’s come to live with the boys 🥰

I say this all the time 🙂 maintain ur relationship with your horse. There is normally a reason behind the behaviour so acknowledge it and help your horse feel safe. It will only strengthen ur relationship 🥰

Get off the horse.

When they’re struggling, when you’re having a bad ride. When their antics are scaring you.

Don’t be afraid to get off.

You aren’t “letting them win” because the horse is not your adversary.

It is not you versus your horse.

It’s you and your horse versus the problem.

And many times, getting off and going back to groundwork can be incredibly beneficial for helping your horse through their struggles.

If they’re scared, having you there beside them on the ground instead of on top of them can bring them confidence.

If you’re scared whilst riding them, getting off the ground lowers your anxiety and likely, also your horses.

The “ride through it” mentality is primarily for human ego and negates the benefit of groundwork.

You don’t need to ride through it.

Sometimes doing so is stupid and dangerous.

Sometimes doing so is traumatic for the horse.

So, don’t be afraid to get off.

Don’t be afraid to take a break.

Don’t be afraid to work through the issues on the ground.

You don’t need to be “tough” and ride through it.

Softness and patience have value and merit.

Oftentimes, the last thing a stressed flight animal needs is toughness and force.

Giving them patience and remaining by their side as a supportive companion is more beneficial than you might imagine.

The mentality of always riding through antics and always getting back on after a fall is a harmful one.

There’s a quote “you’re either going to the hospital or getting back on, hospital or on” that I’ve seen many proudly share.

You can be injured without needing a hospital visit.

Your horse can be fried and not in a place to learn following a fall.

Honouring your horse and yourself by having the humility to know when to stop is a strength, not a weakness.

So, don’t be afraid to get off your horse.

“Riding through it” is not the flex people think it is.
