New Podcast Episode for our Body Language Mastery Weeks!
Ever feel like your horse is trying to tell you something, but you’re not quite sure what it is? 👀
Learning to read their body language can make all the difference. This episode dives into those subtle signs we often overlook—like changes in blinking or weight shifts—that reveal how our horses really feel.
🎧 Hit play to learn how observing can deepen trust and communication!
#LinkInBio to listen now and find out about our Body Language Masterclass to take this even further 🐴💡
Body language is the first “lesson” in truly connecting with your horse. Before we think about correcting behavior or teaching tricks, we need to understand what our horses are trying to tell us. Often, behaviors we want to “fix” are really just signals—signs of confusion, stress, or curiosity.
In our course, we dive deep into reading those subtle signs so you can truly know what your horse is feeling and how to respond in ways they understand. Learn how their ears, tail, eyes, and even posture can reveal stress, relaxation, curiosity, or discomfort. This knowledge shifts everything, from daily handling to more challenging moments.
⏳ Doors close in 24 hours! This is the final call to join us and access modules covering:
•Equine instincts and psychology
•Sensory perception differences (yes, there are “ghosts” in the corner 👀)
•Key learning theories for effective, science-backed training
Set a strong foundation for the journey ahead—join us and transform your approach from the ground up!
I say it again, a bit louder, for the ones in the back.
Connection, relationship, trust and safety (and whatever you plan to do with it, whether its dressage, liberty or backyard jewel) hast to come FROM the horse because YOU proved to be connected, safe and trustworthy.
And that it truly develops ONLY when they feel seen, heard and understood.
And that this comes from YOU seeing, hearing and understanding.
Yes, there are short cuts and they often require flippyflappy things - either to show of despooking or using them as a tool to first send the horse into anxiety and then proving that they will calm down by complying to avoid further anxiety …
But there are also sustainable ways that do not require enforcing nervous systems states to prove a point and neither any gadgets.
It’s just so plain simple that people rather go for the mysterious things and devices that are purchasable.
It’s what you have inside you. Your brain. 🧠✨
Your brain is an incredible system (together with your body and feel) that is capable of incredible things - like connecting to another species in a way that doesn’t require words.
If you struggle to find that “feel” and understanding through applying one-size-fits-all methods that you can purchase, you may are one of us - who finds their answer in your cognition first by TRULY understanding the horses instead of just acting and using.
Yes understanding starts outside of the stable, with you, by yourself. You and yourself. And THEN you take that to the stables and experiment and find YOUR way to interact with the horses because you have a strong foundation. That you built WITH your horse.
You don’t need another trainer or methods. Your horse doesn’t need another trainer or method. Your horse needs you.
Become who they need. Get knowledgeable. Get in their head and in their world.
It’s beautiful here .. I promise 🙏🩷
The world is changing.
We are shifting from a performance-oriented approach to a connection-oriented one. And holy moly, how much this shift is needed and healing. Not only in the horse industry.
To see their worth and your own worth in being, caring, connecting. To feel the abundance of love that they emit.
Turn every frustration, fear and anxiety around and let them show you who you are - deep down.
Your response to them is a direct mirror of who you need to become.
That is their true power - not the dancing or the jumping. But their being in this wonderful universe.
I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Love the horses. Love your personal growth in becoming the best owner/trainer/caregiver that they need.
Let’s shift together and start learning the art of horses.

Say it with me - equestrian affirmations.
How much better would you feel if you could 100% rely on your ability, knowledge and skill to always know how your horse is feeling? To always give them what they need. And to make sure they are getting the best care there is.
Leaving doubt, fear, anxiety and worry behind.
You are doing your best and it is enough.
There are no secrets to you about how to keep, train or feed horses. You are certain about what you can offer to them. And that they are feeling their best.
Become the best version of yourself as the owner of your horse.
Being confident and kind.
There is a whole platform exactly for this - with lots of comprehensible information, easy to follow, easy to understand and easy to apply. Without needing to dig yourself through independent websites and forums.
It’s all there, in one place.
And there are like minded equestrians behind your back. Growing together, supporting each other. With everything available whenever you ask for it.
It takes a village 🙌🏻

A discussion worth having. Let’s reflect on why or why not we should use whips and spurs in horse training.
Ultimately it’s YOUR choice. What are your pro’s and con’s?
If we all collectively choose to always want the best for the horses, becoming good FOR horses not with them, always stay on our path of fairness and kindness and granting them the same respect and understanding we ask from them, these discussions ultimately become obsolete because every single on of us makes the right choice in the eye of horse welfare without needing to ban or restrict anything.
And it’s a butterfly effect, always has always will. We decide what ‘trendy’ and ‘cool’ and what other strive after. The thing in the equestrian industry is just that so few dare to speak up to change the status quo because it’s an environment of gaslighting, blaming, patronising and rejecting. But if we realise we are a lot, this all can change. And it can change fast.
This is your time.
That is what my platform is for.
It’s a holistic course - we start with learning about anatomy, physiology, conformation, body language and so on - and then there are no limits to where this will grow into. My aim is to include everything. Yes that’s a lot. Everything you need to know to be the best owner your horse can have.
The whole platform that is called “confident connection: mastering horse behavior” is becoming my life’s work. I want it to grow into such a beautiful place that elevates every equestrian towards their fulfilling relationship with horses. And coming with that, thousands of horses that see changes being made for more happiness and health. One by one.
The platform is open now, it’s still growing, that’s why you get a real good discount for now.
If you want to join me and push this movement further, go for the early bird right now, before the price goes up. And be part of the content as well. I am open for any submission on topics or material you want to disc
