We have asked ourselves some of these questions with all the crazy weather this last month…. We have tagged their Mane with our name and phone number in the off chance that they do need to run. How do you prepare for weather?

⚡️⛈️🌪️🌬️ It’s time for the age-old conversation -- leave the equines in or turn them out?

Here are some things to consider when making that decision.

I’m very thankful for our farrier Andrea Carlson!!! I look forward to very visit! We have learned so much from her.

July 6-12 is National Farriers Week! In celebration, we’re taking time to appreciate those skilled individuals who take care of the hooves on our equine friends. Your work and skill keep our horses healthy and moving well! Thank you for all you do!

𝕎𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕓𝕖𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕎𝕖𝕕𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕕𝕒𝕪: 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 & 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 💚

Resilience doesn’t come from being tough all the time. It grows when a child feels safe enough to fall, because they know someone will be there to help them back up.

That someone is you.
Your steady, calm presence quietly says, “It’s okay to get it wrong. We can try again. I’ve got you.”

Here are a few simple things we’ve found really help when things feel big:

🧊 A sip of ice-cold water
🌬️ Slowing the breath—longer out than in
🐴 Shaking out arms and legs like a horse releasing stress
🎧 Listening to calming, low sounds or music
🖐️ Tracing the hand slowly with a finger while breathing
🚶‍♂️ Taking a slow walk to reset and come back to centre

They might seem small but they remind the body: 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸.

Today is the day!

WHAT IF?

What if you’re never ready?
What if, this is as close to being ready that you’ll ever actually be?
What if, the biggest regret you have when you look back on your life, is that you wasted time waiting, waiting to be better, when you were already so very much enough?
What if, the last thought you have when your life comes to an end, is that you didn’t do enough living whilst you were alive?
My friend, this is it.
This is your life, right here, right now.
And let me tell you something, somebody somewhere went to sleep last night assuming tomorrow would be a new day.
And it wasn’t.
Today is the day.
Every day is the day.
Life waits for no one.
Seize the moment, seize the day.
Dance like nobody’s watching.
Watch the sunset.
Eat the delicious cake.
Put your bare feet on the cool grass.
Be alive.
Be ALIVE.
Put your hand on your chest and feel that heartbeat pulsing through your body.
That’s all you need to be ready.
That is truly all the purpose you ever really need.
You, my friend, are alive.
So live.

It’s been absolutely scorching here at EquiScholars the past couple of weeks, and keeping our horses cool, comfortable, and enriched has been top priority.

Alongside 24/7 access to shade, fresh water, and salt licks, we’ve been getting a little creative… with herbal tea buckets! 🍃

Each day we switch it up—one day it’s chamomile and peppermint, the next it might be fennel or ginger & lemon. Not only does this encourage hydration, but each herb brings its own natural benefit, like soothing digestion or supporting a cooling effect.

Hydration and enrichment? We call that a win-win.

Have you tried tea buckets with your herd? Let us know what herbal teas you choose to offer your horses 😊

EquiScholars HQ is a space where young people who find mainstream education overwhelming or inaccessible can reconnect with learning, themselves, and others. We offer a fresh start in an environment that values relationship, regulation, and real-world experience.

Here are just a couple of the services we offer:

🌿 𝘈𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 (𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴 & 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴) 🌿

Our structured, trauma-aware education programme combines:
✅ Academic learning rooted in neuroscience
✅ 1:1 and small group support
✅ Equine-assisted experiences
✅ Outdoor exploration & regulation tools

Delivered through our EquiSchools curriculum, learners explore topics such as equine anatomy, behaviour, sensory systems, and movement science. Alongside learning about horses, we support the development of literacy, confidence, critical thinking, and learning readiness all within a safe and meaningful context.

🐎 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦 (𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘵-16 𝘌𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 & 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵) 🐎

EquiCollege is a relationship-led alternative to traditional post-16 education, designed for young people and adults aged 16–25 (entry from 14+) who may be navigating trauma, neurodivergence, or emotional-based school avoidance (EBSA).

Learners progress at their own pace through a blend of:
🧠 Project-based academic activities
🗣 Research, debate, presenting & communication skills
🧘 Somatic regulation practices & equine interaction
🌟 Sessions with professionals like farriers, physios & behaviourists

We focus on nurturing autonomy, confidence, and readiness, whether that means further education, employment, or supported adulthood.

✨ Now that we have our own dedicated space at EquiScholars HQ, we’re able to offer so much more — supporting children and young people not just in their education, but across all areas of emotional, social, and personal growth.

Curious to find out more?
Feel free to drop us an email at [email protected] or send us a message. Our inbox is always open and we’d love to hear from you. 💚

✨𝙸𝚗 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝙼𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝, 𝚈𝚘𝚞’𝚛𝚎 𝚂𝚊𝚏𝚎 ✨

When life feels overwhelming, our senses can guide us back to safety, not just as an idea, but as a felt experience in the body.

This week’s practice is a simple sensory check-in to help regulate the nervous system and gently return to the present. It’s short, quiet, and powerful. 🌈

If it feels right, I gently invite you to try this:
🪷Name 3 things you can hear
🪷Then 2 things you can see
🪷 And 1 thing you can feel

Now reverse the rhythm:
🌻1 thing you hear
🌻 2 things you feel
🌻3 things you see

This gentle rhythm helps bring the body out of stress response and into safety. A state where connection, learning, and healing can begin. 🙏
