The Core of Horses

The Core of Horses Romy de Lange is an equestrian with a vision. Soon enough questions started coming by from people that where curious how I did sort of things with my horses.

She inspires to bring people closer to their horse by sharing information on social media or guiding people in real-life lessons & trainingsweekends hosted by herself under the name The Core of Horses. It all started with me documenting my horse-life on social media and sharing my daily life to an audience that actually showed the same interest as me with horses. How do you fix a sort of problem?

How do I train my horses? How do you teach something to a horse? And lots of more things. On that point I started sharing more informative posts besides my daily horse-life. Quick enough people from the Netherlands started sending me messages if I teach on location. I started doing that a couple of times and I felt so passionated about it that I decided that I wanted to do this more often. I think on that point Equine Motions started coming of the ground. Now I host three trainingsweekends, The Weekend of the Horse, every summer where people from the Netherlands & Belgium come together with their horse to learn from me & their horse. Every trainingsweekend is filled with different personalities which gives me the opportunity to only get more experiences with different kinds of horses. You don't come to with the goal to reach a certain level. You come to me to learn about your horse and then take steps forward because you understand each other more & more every day. That's my goal!

I started multiple young horses under the saddle this year but this moment was one of the best moments in my horse life. How special to sit on the horse that I watched grow and him being 100% comfortable with it. Like he already did it so many times before. Buying him was a decision based on Eastern his retirement. Jackson was going to be his legacy. So the first time sitting on his back I shouted up to the sky “Are you watching Eas!?” From the beginning when Jackson was 7 months old I was so convinced that this horse had so much potential to grow with me. So to finally sit on his back for the first time in such ease was magical. ❤️

Jackson gets all the time he needs to develop into a strong horse. There is no rush in his education and he’s in charge of the tempo we work in. Jackson is super motivated and always makes sure to let me know when he feels like training. For now he can also spend his days on the big pasture again. He still has some growing to do. 👏🏼

You were my first chapter, my first experience of getting so much love of a horse, my first full-out galop, my first time trusting a horse for the full 100%, my first everything. I absolutely owe you the world for all of the awesome memories you gave me. Ian stood by me my whole childhood. When I graduated high school I celebrated it with a 4 hour Long Beach ride with Ian. He pushed me through so many times when I saw no way out. I could always count on a great time if I saddled him up. From sitting in front of my mom on Ian his back singing songs when I was 5 years old to tourists filming us on the beach when I came by flying with Ian when I was 16. Endless great memories with this horse, I could write a book about our adventures. I’m going to miss everything about him. How he laid down every day to scratch every inch of his body, how he greeted me every morning, the head bumping when he got excited, how he always knew where I would let go of my reins, the kicking against the stable wall when he wanted to go out, the squeaky sound he made when he played with Oliver, his look at me when he was unbothered of something and I could go on for days about the things I will miss.

Thank you Ian for always being the same rock for the last 19 years in my life and for never changing how you saw me. Because you still truly saw me as that same little girl 19 years ago. I owe you so much. I hope you and Eastern found each other back again and look down to us every now and then. Because I really can’t live without my childhood horse. I wished we had more time together. ❤️

Last Thursday we made the decision to let Ian go since the bone tumor was growing in a fast pace and it was bothering him with eating. Ian was never going to show us any pain since he is one of the strongest horses I’ve ever met. This was the last thing we could do for him after these 19 incredible years he gave us. He deserved to leave this earth like him, not a horse that was eaten up by a disease. Be strong, tough and stubborn just like him. ❤️‍🩹

Time to update you all about something that I really don’t want to acknowledge. This weekend when I learnt so much about the horse brain they used one term in special that I will never forget. Some horses are special force horses. Horses that can self regulate & think without any help in any situation. Ian has always been our special force horse. Any situation you can think off I can be in it with him. Sirens, fire, fireworks, in the city everything you can think of this horse will make you feel the safest & most comfortable even when the world is shattering apart. In November 2023 Ian showed a weird bump on one of his cheeks. After months of treating it with the vet we decided to take him to the clinic. Weeks of inflammatories & antibiotics but nothing seemed to help. At the clinic we unfortunately got a clear view of what we’re dealing with and it was something we and our vets expected. Even with the x-ray machine next to his head, barely sedated he was still the special force horse. Ian his x-Rays of his head showed a large mass on his jawbone. An extra fragment of bone that grew over the last couple of months. Other words: a bone tumor caused by bone cancer. Something that’s rare with horses. Unfortunately there is no treatment to prevent or treat it. We went home that day from the clinic with the news that Ian will unfortunately leave the earth sooner then expected. Unfortunately this extra bone fragment will keep growing fast over the time and since it’s on a very important bone, the jaw, that Ian uses every day to chew his food. So we’re monitoring him closely since we don’t want him to feel any pain or discomfort. Ian is Ian, still hisself and super happy. And that’s what’s most important. For now I’m enjoying his presence more then anything. And man I look back to all our adventures with such a big smile. I conquered the world with him since I was a little girl. We grew up together. I only smile around him. He is the only horse that always kept seeing me as the little girl that ran around him with her pink grooming kit. For now he is still with us, but I can’t imagine a world without him. ❤️

WELCOME HERMANITO aka Mano! 🤩

After the process of training & selling Solana I knew for sure what I wanted to do. Seeing a horse transform & help a horse to be the best version they can be, I created this huge passion to help horses. I swore that I will never sell a horse again due to everything that happened in the process of rehoming Solana. But if I look how that ended it was a literal fairytale ending. ✨ (Solana can still be seen with her new owner: .of.solana)

Then I got a call from a client: “I need your help.” Due to circumstances the owner of Mano she had to sell him in a short period of time. Hard choices had to be made when life gets you by the throat. I offered to buy him from her, make him physically & mentally strong again, train him properly and then rehome him to the right person. The next day I picked him up.

Mano had a difficult past. Harshly ridden in Spain. The scars tell a complete story on their own. My horse heart cries knowing that people can be so cruel to these gentle creatures. Because of these hard methods Mano builds up tension under the saddle and the only thing he can is piaffe. I’m going to do my absolute best to make this horse enjoy riding again and show that his survive mechanism is not necessary. 🙏🏻

I took these pictures today to eventually look back to. I see that he once was a magnificent horse to look at. I’m going to get him back at that magnificent shape. Gain muscle, gain weight, gain confidence etc. 🔥

Mano is settling very nicely. He is super sweet and enjoys attention so much! ❤️ Hope you will enjoy following this process as much as I do.

Happy Holidays! Hope you have a Christmas full of warmth, friends, family, love, fun and HORSES. ⚜️✨🎄

FINALLY! Right before Christmas it’s time to introduce my latest concept to you THE CORE. After hosting a three-day training for four years and taking one year off I renewed the concept The Weekend of the Horse completely. Super proud to finally see my vision come to life. I can’t wait to see who is just as motivated as me to start this process! 🤩 (For now THE CORE is only available to participate in The Netherlands)

🇳🇱 Het is zo ver THE CORE is online voor iedereen! Laat me in het kort aan je vertellen wat je van THE CORE kan verwachten. Iedereen met een paard & pony heeft deze met een reden. Wat wil je er uit halen? Waar worden jij en jouw paard gelukkig van? Waar loop je tegen aan waardoor je jouw ambities met jouw paard niet door kan voeren? Allemaal vragen waar we dieper in gaan duiken tijdens THE CORE. THE CORE duurt vier dagen bij mij intern maar ik beloof je dat na die vier dagen pas het proces start. In deze vier dagen gaan we zo inspelen op motivatie, ontwikkeling en plezier dat je dit kan doorvoeren in jullie eigen omgeving. Dit concept heeft als doel niet alleen jouw paard te laten ontwikkelen maar ook jou als eigenaar/ruiter hierdoor heeft het een lange termijn effect. Het ontwikkelen samen met jouw paard in een veilige leeromgeving met plezier op nummer één. THE CORE is voor iedere ambitie geschrikt.

It’s December which means it’s almost the end of the year. This year I decided to step out of comfort zone and participate to all the clinic / lessons that I always wanted to do. I’ve been to so many places with Yakari this year and it’s so much fun to learn from different people with different riding styles. We did working equitation, historical dressage, liberty work, trickytaining and on our last adventure from last week we finally worked with cows! Beginning this year I planned to work with cows with Yakari but unfortunately he had a hoofsore, so I took Eastern. Then I found this clinic with Jeff Sanders (). A great opportunity to try it again with Yakari. It was a long drive and very INTENSIVE. But what an experience it was! Besides working with cows it was delightful to listen to someone that masters horsemanship on another level. This was a cherry on top to end this year with Yakari, in this year I’ve fulfilled so much of my (horse related) bucket list. And that by just stepping out of my comfort zone. Yakari did awesome with the cows, he loved them. Oh and me? I was on cloud nine with this horse. Yakari is such an awesome horse to work with! In 2024 we’re definitely going to visit more places and learn more about all the awesome riding styles. Still so much to discover. ✨🐴🧠💪🏼

I absolutely love working what young horses. It’s like writing a book starting from a blank page. Or the feeling to take the first step on fresh snow. Young horses that you start with a clean slate are the horses that will let you think about the question: How would I like to approach this. Who would I like to be for my horse? I got Yakari as 3,5 y/o that was a clean slate under the saddle & on the ground. I taught him everything and I’m so proud how I educated him & the horse he is now. And yet I approach Jackson his growth & progress in a completely different way. And that made me aware that not only Yakari has grown in the time that I educated him, but I did too. And I’m sure I will feel the same way when Jackson is older. But that’s what it’s all about! If we want a partnership with our horses it’s only fair to not only look at them as a point to improve but also ourselves. I try to educate myself with new stuff every now and then. Observe my own trainings by videoing them and then seeing things that I need to improve. Making myself aware what my weak spots are and trying to face them & work on them. If you do that you allow yourself not only grow inside the riding arena with your horse but you will grow as a person overall. 📈🙏🏻🌱🔥

Enjoy this picture of introducing Jackson to leading him on horseback. It’s a great way to get him used to being above him. 😄

Dear Eastern Light Westland,

A piece of my heart. A piece of who I am. A piece of my joy. 13 years you’ve been by my side. From the age 11 to 24 you guide me true life, not only horse related. Man I owe you so much for how much you taught me along the way. From standing my ground to seeing the relation between us & horses as a partnership. You have inspired me to become a better horse trainer, your lessons have inspired others to work together with their horse.

I conquered so many obstacles with this horse from behavioral to physical. And every time he surprised us. Never give up, also hold on to the bright side of the end of the tunnel. I never shed so many tears about a horse. I never loved a horse so intensely. And above all I never met a horse that was so special as you.

Eastern I’m going to miss you endlessly. Even your quirks. How you uncontrollably gave me kisses with a lot of saliva against my cheek even though I didn’t ask. How you jumped the fence if I was too late (in your eyes) to bring you in. How you neighed on a trail ride. The kicking against the stable door when I was too slow with your food. And I can go on & on & on.

But most of that you were always THERE. Not in the present, not in the future. But Here! Now! You always were so present.

Eastern light Westland. I love you endlessly and I will always carry you with everything I will do in my life. You made me the person I am today. I’m going to miss you so so so so much.

I want to write rest in peace. But you hated peace. ACTION! So I wish that you can buck, rear, galop endlessly along side me. ❤️

16/10/2023

Training doesn’t end in the riding arena! When a horse comes to me I will help to function it better in everything you can think of. Standing still while mounting, picking up their feet, grooming in peace, stand still between ties, leading in a calm state to the pasture, asking them to make room for me to pass etc. Horses are super smart, we can teach them anything we want to. A horse that’s easy going in relation will be a lot easier to handle. It will also give you a head start in training! Example: If a horse isn’t easy to handle while grooming which will cause stress, it’s most likely that you will take that behavior with you in the riding arena. That’s why it’s so important to also spend time to these tiny things. I’ve seen a lot that people try to avoid the tiny things in handling because working in the riding arena feels like time is well spend. Example: A horse puts his weight on the halter/rope when he’s tied up -> you choose to not tie him up anymore but brush him while you hold the rope. Sometimes it’s necessary to spend your time on these things in handling. Otherwise it will show into something else and it will effect your training. Example: the horse that’s not able to be tied up to a post because he puts his weight to it, will probably find it super difficult to follow pressure on the leadrope. When it feels any kind of pressure it will choose to pull away. (Think about leading a horse that scares, pressure will develop on your leadrope, the horse feels the pressure and chooses to pull away). I find it super normal to already train a young horse to give them a head start. And when I speak about “training a young horse.” I don’t speak about riding, lunging or asking hard physical stuff. I talk about handling. Young, adult or old horses it doesn’t matter. Seeing everything around the riding arena just as important as your training in the riding arena will give your horse a head start in everything you do. 🤩

13/10/2023

After an awesome summer of training horses today the last one for this year went home. Kadans went from a horse that had zero awareness what to do with his body which led him to shut down (uncontrollable rearing) to a horse that has now such a high work ethic and more balance in his body & mind. Kadans was such a fun horse to work with! But the most important thing is that he can now enjoy his time with his owner. I’m 100% sure that they will have so much fun together in the future now that they both found their confidence back in the month Kadans was with me. I hope you enjoyed following along his progress. It’s not a goodbye because I will guide the owner & Kadans further in riding on their own location. 😄

Now that autumn & winter are around the corner I chosen to not have horses in training on my location. When I have a horse in training on my location I prioritize everything around that horse. That’s a super intensive process. And since taking care of my own horses and training them in the winter is also intensive, you have to choose. I want the quality of training proces to be perfect, that’s harder in winter (outdoor riding arena, pasture excess etc.) So now I will train / ride horses for others on their location. From April 2024 spots will be available again to welcome horses at my place. 🐴🧠💪🏼

I want to share something with you that I think some of you need to hear to get that extra boost of motivation. I’ve stumbled upon many clients in teaching that get so frustrated when things don’t work out, when things look messy, when you feel clumsy or that clients make a mistake. And if I tell them “It’s ok, just try again, you will get the hang of it.” I always get “But with you it looks so natural.” I try to remind everyone that EVERYONE once stood in the roundpen with a leadrope attached to their horse & carrot stick in the other hand and had no idea what they were doing. It’s so normal to be in a fase that you have to figure things out. I’ve stumbled over leadropes hundred times. Working with horses is not about how great you are in what your doing, it’s about willing to figure out how to get better in what your doing. I truly believe that we’re never done developing ourselves around horses. I hope that none of you will stop yourself from learning new things because you’re afraid for the learning fase. The mistakes, clumsiness, messiness it’s all a part of it. 💪🏼🐴

03/10/2023

Did you ever think about how far horses go for us? Do you ever think about how horses perceive the world? Here are some examples that show us how far horses go for us, while in fact horses do not owe us anything.

A horse’s vision is different then ours. And I’m not talking about seeing colors different like many theories say. But when we enter a dark space from a light space we need maybe 5 minutes to adjust our sight to see better in the dark. Horses take 45 minutes to adjust their eyesight when it comes to different lighting. Think about transport, an indoor riding arena, a dark stable etc. I’ve seen so many horses been beaten because they wouldn’t load, frustrated riders when the horse didn’t perform in the ring like they would etc.

In dressage we see a lot of riders riding their horses in these overbend positions. Did you know that the vision in this position will give the horse so many blind spots that it barely sees anything. Yet these horses keep performing.

If we punish horses, because we expect them to think and adjust like we humans do you create the following: Learnt helplessness mostly leads either fight, flight or freeze modus. If you take horse’s senses away survival kicks. Freeze modus is a very common one: a horse that stops thinking, a horse that stops trying, a horse that stops reacting. I’ve never said it to many times: It should never be our goal to take the reaction of the horse away.

When I started learning more about horse’s senses and how different they work compared to ours I started to understand reactions better. I once had a lady on the phone that had a horse that refused to go into a stable. The only way to get the horse in was with a whip from behind. We as a human could perfectly see in that stable coming from the outside. The horse on the other hand saw a big black box and his sight needed to adjust. He did everything to not go into that stable. But would you step into a room where you can’t see anything while being pushed from behind?

If we would try to understand more about how horse’s senses work I think we will appreciate & understand their actions even more. 🙏🏻

Happy Birthday to me! 24 years! I’m so ready for this year. I don’t mind turning a year older, it only makes me aware what’s more to come. And that makes me excited. 🔥

How cool is this photo concept? I had this in my mind for a while and I finally had the time to bring it to life. I had to use a bright flashlight in the middle of the night. Jackson was not impressed. Believe it or not I made these pictures of self timer. 🤩

LAATSTE TRAININGS PLEKJE INTERN VAN 2023!

Het plekje van september / oktober is weer vrij gekomen.

Een paard wat bij intern in training komt staat standaard een maand bij mij op locatie in Oostvoorne, Zuid-Holland.

- Basis bevestigingen op de grond
- Zadelmak maken
- Basis bevestigen onder het zadel
- Heftige gedragsuitingen
- Staken
- Over reactief

Zoek je een plek waar er echt gekeken word wat JOUW paard nodig heeft? Waar het paard wordt gezien als individu?

Het paard staat bij mij op nummer één. Het paard wordt intensief begeleid door mij om zoveel mogelijk stappen te zetten in de maand dat het paard bij mij verblijft. Wel gebeurt alles op het tempo van het paard! De training start bij mij niet tussen de bak hekken. Ik neem echt alles mee van het naar de wei brengen tot aan het rustig vast staan tijdens het poetsen. Tot nu toe zijn alle paarden die weer terug naar huis zijn gegaan in een compleet andere mentale & fysieke staat naar huis gegaan. En ieder heeft zijn doel behaald!

Mocht je uit Voorne Putten komen is begeleiding na de trainingsperiode op locatie mogelijk.

Ik begrijp dat een paard intern in training zetten een enorme investering kan zijn daarom is er de mogelijkheid om de training in termijnen af te betalen.

Voor meer info graag een pb! Bij serieuze interesse bel ik altijd graag en schrijf ik een persoonlijk trainingsvoorstel.

Midden september komt er weer een plek vrij voor een trainingspaard intern!

Zadelmak maken, onder het zadel een goeie basis bevestigen, werken aan gedragsuitingen onder het zadel of op de grond, over reactief zijn op de omgeving, een goeie basis op de grond bevestigen, heftige gedragsuitingen in de omgang. Voor elk paard is er een mooie weg te bewandelen waar ik ze graag in begeleid.

Bij mij staat het paard op ÉÉN! Ik richt alles in om jou paard zowel fysiek als mentaal het beste te begeleiden. Ik werk niet met een standaard methode, ik pas mij aan op het individu wat ik voor mij heb. Bij mij begint mijn denkwerk al over het paard als ik het in de wei zie staan. Ik heb ook altijd maar één paard tegelijk bij mij op locatie in training staan zodat ik mij echt helemaal op het paard kan storten.

Het paard komt in een rustige omgeving te staan met altijd beschikking tot ruwvoer. De paarden staan 24/7 buiten zolang het weer het toelaat. Anders staan ze s’nachts op stal. Mocht je paard standaard s’nachts op stal moeten is dat ook geen enkel probleem.

Let op: Omdat ik geen onrust wil veroorzaken word het paard niet opgenomen in de kudde. Er is wel altijd zicht op andere paarden. Het is dus een must dat jou paard op eigen benen kan staan. (Het is mogelijk om mijn shetjes erbij te zetten als het gaat om een sociaal paard).

Voor meer info kan je mij een pb sturen. 🗣️

Time to put someone in the spotlight! I adore creativity especially when it’s combined with horses. Not only she is a great artist she is also combing her art & passion to offer other equestrian efficiency! Nina () creates equine stationary to help fellow equestrians organize in a fun way. We all know how hard it can be to have a horse, friends, family and a job at the same time. Nina her bullet journals, diary’s, planners and other stationary are full with her art & creativity and help you plan and organize more while keeping it fun to do! 👌🏼

I was so lucky to receive this T-shirt with Nina’s design on the back. It refers to the love of horses but in a subtle way, would also wear this shirt to the city for example. Nina always puts a lot of effort in her products and you can tell by the quality of the shirt that she hasn’t backed down. 🔥

Thanks Nina for always supporting me & your kind messages. I hope to see your & follow your creativity for many more years. 🥰

Who’s behind the Core of Horses? And what do you do? Let’s spill some ☕️ since there are so many new faces that started following my journey. 🗣️

My name is Romy, I’m 23 y/o and I’m based in the Netherlands. Since a young age I grew up around horses and I’ve been ever drawn to them since. After finding my own style in training horse I got often asked to help others. From that point it slowly started to change into teaching others. After hard work, dedication and lots of passion working with horses is now my job. ✨

Under my alias The Core of Horses I help people to restore or improve the bond between horse & owner. I teach people to understand the perspective of the horse in different situations and how to guide your horse through training. Trailer loading, a horse that kicks, teaching kids the basics of groundwork, backing a horse under the saddle, helping someone overcome a riding fear etc. This is just a tiny part of what I do, the subjects I teach / train are super diverse. My job is not only to work with horses but also with people. 🐴🫀🧠

I hope that I can motivate you or inspire you by sharing my life around my horses & my work with horses. Even if it’s tiny bit! If you have any questions let me know. I’m happy to answer. 💌

Meet Abbey! A 14 y/o Irish Draught mare. She will be my guest for this month. Abbey will stay with me for the rest of July to help her gain trust in working together with a human being. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Abbey is a reactive horse due to her past and I’m the lucky one to help her realize that we want to work together instead of against each other. We will see how far we come but I’m sure that Abbey & I will learn a lot of each other. Her owner gave me permission to share her progress online so be ready to join me on this journey with Abbey! 🤩

Small meets Big! ❤️

I’ve been a bit cautious with introducing Oliver to Jackson. Oliver is the man of the stables and has not easily impressed. So when Oliver starts to play he gives 100%. Jackson is absolutely not aware of the impact he has with his body. But nothing the less I thought it would be good for the both of them. I have Oliver to keep the energy high in the herd. So it was time to use him for that. And guess what? They clicked. 🥹 Playing, cuddling and being side by side. Oliver even walked under Jackson. Oliver is not 24/7 with Jackson due to not being able to spend a lot of hours on the grass. But I do try to give them their play hours every now and then. It was the cutest thing ever! ✨

Only proves that horses don’t prejudice based on looks. 😉

PER DIRECT PLEK VOOR EEN TRAININGSPAARD.

Voor zowel JULI als AUGUSTUS is er plek voor een trainingspaard bij mij op locatie.

- Hulp bij heftige gedragsuitingen
- Zadelmak maken
- Basis onder het zadel bevestigen
- Basis op de grond bevestigen
- Paard lichamelijk weer sterk maken
- Trailer laden

Het paard staat op nummer 1! Ik werk op het tempo van het paard. Met veel geduld & rust behalen we de gewenste resultaten. Mijn doel is altijd samen werken en niet tegen werken.

Standaard staat het paard een maand bij mij intern. Een kortere tijd is niet mogelijk. Een maand geeft mij de tijd om het paard te leren kennen.

Paard komt bij mij aan huis te staan. 24/7 buiten met altijd beschikking tot hooi. Enkel op stal bij hevige regenval. Stalling is all-in.

In de tijd dat het paard in training staat bij mij wordt de eigenaar op de hoogte gehouden via Whatsapp en op afspraak kan je langs komen.

Voor meer info graag een pb!

Something that deserves a spot on this account because this was so much fun to do! In April I had attended multiple clinics and one of them was herding cows on horseback! The first plan was to participate with Yakari but unfortunately Yakari was lame when I got him out of the field (later on we found out it was a hoof sore, right now Yakari is completely sound again). I could do two things: cancel the clinic or bring Eastern. Eastern is retired and I hadn’t ridden him in a riding arena for almost a year plus he never saw a cow up close. But oh well let’s do it anyway! Eastern was a bit surprised when I loaded him up the trailer but when we arrived he was in his element! 🥰

Eastern didn’t even flinch and took his job very seriously. I was smiling ear to ear. How blessed I am to share such a big moment with Eastern. (Herding cows has been on my bucket list for years). Eastern was super fanatic, just like me. 🔥

The other cool part about riding this clinic is that I rode it together with my mom. Mom rode Ian and Ian was such a badass as well! 🤩

Definitely not the last time for me to work with cows on horseback. Such a cool thing to experience. ✨

About Equine Motions

Ik ben Romy de Lange en Equine Motions staat voor wat ik bereikt heb met paarden.

Elke dag besteed ik mijn tijd met paarden. Toch is elke dag weer een nieuwe les. Want in mijn optiek zijn we nooit uitgeleerd over paarden. Mijn doel is dan ook om jullie te overtuigen om anders naar je paard te gaan kijken. Ik wil samenwerking tussen jou en je paard creëren, zonder beide onder druk te zetten.

Dominantie, onzekerheid, agressie en protestgedrag zowel op de grond als onder het zadel kan opgelost worden wanneer je er de tijd voor neemt en leert samenwerken. Want zelfs als we denken dat we samenwerken kunnen we nog steeds het paard tegenwerken.

Door rust, het paard te lezen, het te vertalen naar de eigenaar en de juiste middelen te geven waar je aan kunt werken probeer ik de harmonie tussen jou en je paard terug te vinden.
