Rest and Rejuvinate is the meaning of Winter Solstice for me🌱

“The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds.

Our modern culture teaches avoidance at a max at this time; alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumerism.

And yet the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard, because for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas in actual fact winter is kind, she points us in her quiet soft way towards our inner self, towards this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting and loving embracing goodbye the past year.

"Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth".
. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight.

Life is a gift a Happy winter to you all...''

Coming together to learn how horses think, and how to be the best version of a human partner for them 🦄💕 These clinics always re-ignite my determination and energize me to reach further to educate my students and share with our horse-loving community.

Relaxation techniques, off-horse exercises, biomechanics under saddle, observation of demo riders, awareness exercises, breathing at walk/trot/canter…This group knocked it out of the park helping their horses regulate their emotions and improve their posture before and during all ridden work 🙏 My dream is that this will be normalized in the equine world among instructors, students, owners, vets, grooms, etc. We will all be better for it! 🦄

🦋 Creating a new habit for a horse that has been ridden behind the vertical requires a huge commitment on the rider’s part to continuously check that there is “more push than pull” on the reins. That sounds really obvious, but it is one of the biggest struggles for students who have been coached to “seesaw” the head down.

I’m there cheering this rider on for the dedication and hard work she’s taking on 🥳

Taking a deep dive into the seat and position without the distraction from a moving horse is something we can all benefit from to improve the partnership with our horse. 🐴💕
One of the most common position corrections that I make is for a rider leaning back. The connection in the saddle that is gained when the rider is in better alignment brings on many "Oh, wow!" moments. 💡
I love helping riders find better balance and a deeper connection to their horse. 🌠
