First time working in the roundpen with this beautiful young horse.. It's so much fun to work with horses that haven't worked with people yet. 🥰❤️ The way they communicate is so open, soft and free.

This is why I do what I do 💖✨💖✨

'Dear Lucie, I've stayed a long time with Coco today. She was so soft and content. She touched me so deeply in that moment. I am so greatful for who you are, what I can learn from you and your patience. Thanks to you, I am learning to look and treat horses in a different way. A big thanks to you!
I don't even think this covers the strong feeling I felt when I was with her after our lesson. She really stayed connected until the very end, '

🇳🇱 Af en toe ontmoet ik een paard dat me net iets meer raakt dan anderen. Dit jonge paard had gedragsproblemen die escaleerden tot gevaarlijk gedrag. Het is een heel dunne lijn tussen bevriezen en zichzelf beschermen door aan te vallen. We hebben 2 keer samengewerkt en ik voel een steeds diepere connectie met haar. De Irwin Insights methode is de sleutel tot succes, bij deze gevallen verwonderd het mij elke keer weer. Ik moet mij volledig bewust zijn van mijn lichaamsenergie (pushend, blokkerend of uitnodigend) en mijn lichaamshouding. Echt een leerzaam proces!

🇬🇧 Every once in a while I meet a horse that touches me a little bit more than others. This young horse has had behavioural problems that escalated to dangerous behaviour. It's a very fine line between freezing up and protecting herself by attacking. We've worked together 2 times and I can feel our connection growing. The Irwin Insights method amazes me every time again, in these special cases. I have to be fully aware of my body energy (pushing, blocking or drawing) and my body position to get her on my side. What an interesting process!

I'm pretty sure that's horse language for 'I love you too' 🥰 This is such a special horse.

🇳🇱 Van cowboy naar dressuurruiter! 😉 Marcel reed buiten met zijn gereformeerde dressuurpaard voordat hij bij mij startte. Lou Lou heeft lichte artrotse en hij wilde haar goed leren rijden zodat ze gezond oud kon worden. Wat een mooie transformatie is dit geweest! We hebben in kleine stapjes gewerkt, eerst met grondwerk en daarna met rijden. De grootste verbetering is zijn zit, zoals te zien is in de draf. Echt cool!!!

🇬🇧 From cowboy to dressage rider! 😉 Marcel had been hacking out with his reformed dressage horse before he started to take lessons with me. Lou Lou has a little arthritis and he wanted to learn to ride her well so she could become old healthily. What a safysting transformation this has been! We worked in small steps, first through groundwork and then riding. The biggest transformation has been his seat, as you can see in the trot. Pretty cool!!

✨I'm greatful for all the special horses I get to work with..️ This one is one of the most special ones, he's very in touch with himself and he's the clearest mirror of all horses for me. He perfectly reflects everything I feel on the inside and I'm thankful I get to learn from him. Growing and evolving on my path... ✨️

Listen-in, as I get schooled by a Master, with the same sense of vulnerability a horse feels, when it gives itself to us.
