🌟 And here it is: my first review! 🐴💬
Google can be a bit of a nightmare, so I’ve decided to trust Facebook too. If anyone feels like sharing something nice about your experience with me, please leave a review, whether it’s on Google or here on Facebook, it all helps! 🙏

I’m taking small steps to build a good reputation doing what I love. Horses are my world, and I’ll always do my best to bring quality to everything I do. 💛

Here’s a beautiful story from Lucie, about when she first met Ziva. I just gave her a few tips on communication and look at them now! 🐎✨

Don’t judge by first appearances… 🌧️➡️☀️
This is Rain: before and after, just one year apart.

I got her from a dealer who brought her straight from the Dartmoor hills, basically wild, no passport, just halter broken. She was rough, unsure, and untouched… but even then, her sweet nature was already there.

We’ve faced a few hurdles, like skin problems, but with time, care, and trust, she’s become shiny, healthy, and confident. Now she’s just turned 4 and she’s truly the best pony ever. 💛

There’s a video from just three weeks after she arrived, where you can already see her gentle soul coming through, you can watch it on TikTok ✨ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdDjVNs6/

I’ve been telling people to “count to 3” so often lately 😅💪
It’s just part of my natural way of working with horses and this post explains perfectly why!✨

As a coach, I care deeply about helping people see horses, not just ride them. Horses are not tools, they speak through their eyes, posture, and expression. We just need to slow down and listen.

I’m in this industry with one main goal: to promote welfare and build real partnerships with horses. I’m offering sessions in riding schools focused on the kind of theory we often don’t get the chance to explore during regular lessons, using art as a tool and horses as partners to make it engaging and meaningful.

🎨 Many of you know I’m also an artist, and I love blending creativity with horsemanship.

Let’s rethink how we connect with our horses. What do you think?

Apologies for the silence lately, the past few weeks have been quite busy, and I haven’t been very active here on Facebook. That said, I’ve still been working behind the scenes, especially when it comes to training horses and supporting their wellbeing.

If there’s anything worth saying about the equestrian industry and horse training right now, I believe these two screenshots sum it up best.

Always grateful to be learning, evolving, and advocating for better horsemanship. ✨🙌🐴

The most powerful connection doesn’t come from control—it comes from trust.
A horse will give you their heart when they feel seen, safe, and understood. It’s not about dominance, but relationship. Not about forcing, but listening.

When you connect with a horse emotionally, everything changes—your communication deepens, your partnership strengthens, and your journey together becomes something truly meaningful.

Something to read – not a fun post, but something to think about...

I asked a friend in the hunter-jumper world why he thought there was so much reliance on draw reins, restrictive rigs, strong bits, and he had a one word answer---“FEAR.”

“Fear of what?” I asked.

“Mainly fear of loss of control,” was his answer. He went on to say that many of the riders that he watched were basically either unfit, or green, or over-mounted, and that they didn’t want a very high level of risk, and that one way to lower risk was to have sort of “automaton” horses.

Horses can be gotten to a state, he said, of what we call “learned helplessness.”
I Googled “learned helplessness” and here’s what I read---

“What is learned helplessness in simple terms?
In psychology, learned helplessness is a state that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful situation repeatedly. They believe that they are unable to control or change the situation, so they do not try, even when opportunities for change are available.”

While this definition pertains to humans, we can see how it can also apply to a horse which has been repeatedly forced into submission.

So there’s that, and we see it too often.
