So yesterday was a very profound day. I’ve given it time to sink in and reflect. So I’ve always believed in divine timing and everything happening for a reason even if I don’t agree with the situation that arises there is always learning and healing to come out of the situation.

So Wednesday Oribis close here buddy left the yard to go to his owners yard. We all know what that feels like friends/family move away brings up all sorts of emotions. She had started cribbing again which is like biting our fingernails or smoking a cigarette a stress relief a release in endorphins to help her relax. A behaviour I have not seen in her for well over a year in fact I couldn’t tell you when she last did it! I could sense something needed to clear was it just him leaving or did it go deeper a trigger of a past experience?

Well my wonderful friend Leslie had come over with the girls for their session yesterday morning. When we went out to the herd she was cribbing on the gate relentlessly Leslie offer to do some Emotional release work. When we checked with Oribi she was ready to release these emotions.

We used charts and my pendulum to establish what needed to be released. Oribi was taken back to when she was between 1&2yrs old a time in her life when she left the safety and security of her home and family and started race training. She had a lot to release Abandonment, Anxiety, Nervousness, Anger, Bitterness, Grief, Shock and Guilt.

We held space for her to allow the energies to be released some through her some through me. When we had finished she walked away from the gate had a good roll and walked down to the water trough for a drink. From there she looked up to us still stood a the gate with a look of relief and calm.

We left her to digest and process the session it can take 24-48hrs in humans for a session to sink in. When I went up to check her later she was calm grazing and I’ve not seen her cribbing since.

Sometimes situations arise that put us where we need to be if he hadn’t left Oribi would still be holding those traumas. So we have to take the positives from every situation even the hard ones 🥰

How are we keeping the horses cool in this weather?
We are very lucky that we have plenty of trees and the stream that all the horses have access too. So even if we have sessions running we can stay out of the heat and the horses get a hose down 🥰

So true! 🥰

🌿 The Effort Paradox 🌿

✨ “The more effortless it looks… the more effort it’s taken.” ✨

Ever had someone say,

“You make it look so easy.”
“You're just out there with ponies, right?”
“You're so calm — I couldn’t do what you do.”

Let us tell you the truth:

💥 What looks calm on the surface is built on hours of safety planning.
💥 What looks simple is the result of years of inner work.
💥 What looks natural is actually deep trauma-informed intention and years of learning.

As facilitators — especially those of us working solo or in small teams —
we carry a lot behind the scenes:
📝 Safeguarding, preparation, emotional regulation, adapting on the fly, chasing invoices, writing notes, designing sessions, learning new things constantly.

And still, we show up gently. We hold space.
We make people feel safe enough to open up in a muddy field with a pony by their side.

That’s not magic.
That’s mastery born of effort.

So if you’re a facilitator and you’re tired — it’s not because you’re weak.
It’s because you’re carrying more than most people will ever see.

💛 Keep showing up.
💛 Keep resting when you need to.
💛 Keep trusting that what looks "simple" from the outside… is actually sacred work.

We are always learning. Super lesson this morning with the big boy. He tries so hard and teaches me a lot and allows me to learn. He’s such a dude 🥰 🦄

This was not how any of us saw this playing out. But an emergency trip in the lorry that I subsequently got stuck in the mud so had to get the farmer to pull me out!! Tinker has arrived. She’s had quite a day bless her. Losing her field buddy who sadly had to be PTS unexpectedly, travelled for the first time since her drive down from Scotland 2 years ago onto a yard of horses she doesn’t know. And she’s coped with it all so well. Welcome to the family 🥰
