Heartfelt Healing

Integrating a goal setting session to achieve your horsemanship goals can look very different from one person to the next.

Sometimes it’s a straightforward process, most times we dig deep and find our hidden belief systems that have set us up for a hard time in this life and realise our strengths and values.

Today i decided to do a session with myself, this is how my session went:

What is the goal for today’s session?
- To send my high impulsion horse out in a circle for a count of 10 circles before coming back to me.

Okay but what if he changes direction or comes in towards you - Will your original goal change?
- Well yeah, i guess so.

What will the new found goal be?
- To ask my horse to walk on a circle without changing direction or coming in towards me.

What emotions come up for you when you have to adapt to changing plans?
- Frustration.. i feel unsettled..

When was the first time you felt unsettled?
- When i moved House.

This goes alot deeper but i wanted to give you an example of what sessions with me can look like. Do you see how we can start a session focusing on what we want from our horse but then it beautifully unfolds to understand ourselves on a deeper level?

Pop me a message, i would love to get to know you on your journey.

When you are little you’re asked an impossible question.
“What do you want to be when you grow up”

When you are little you’re asked an expansive question.
“What do you want to be when you grow up”

I always dreamt of being a singer.. rocking the biggest stages while travelling the world..
I also dreamt of owning my own horses..

Well, i am a singer, I do sing on stages!
“All the world’s a stage” so I don’t need to travel very far to achieve this..
I sing on humble stages where the very floor boards are etched in stories that have been shared and memories that are being made.

I dont just have horses.. i live with my herd/tribe/family/guardians. They are my heart, my soul and all my stars ✨ music and hoof beats have molded me into who i am.

So little me… what do you want to be when you grow up?

You.. I want to be you..

I think my inner child would approve of me doing my own thing, frolicking in the mountains, making friends with multiple species and living with my beloved herd.

Yes, that’s me.. with a magical unicorn🦄
I love my unicorn..

Humans have a mental & physiological understanding of horses, we understand how they move, the way the body works and how it processes different things, we have the research to support our findings in toxic and non toxic substances. We understand that a horse needs access to full time grazing, water and freedom. BUT something that gets severely left out or forgotten is how much “trauma” a horse goes through physically (injury) or mentally (abuse) is always also emotional trauma.

We may have assisted in the wound healing & taken the time to offer our horses a sanctuary and loving home BUT how many of us are actually taking the time to understand the emotional body of our horses? How we can show up for them in deeper ways. How many of us are actually reassuring our horses when questions or worry comes up?

Horses have had lifetimes of exposure to emotional neglect and suppression, they too are emotional creatures who need emotional support, with more awareness around emotional trauma… suppression and aggression should be a thing of the past.

How interesting is the correlation between women and mares?
“Oh she’s just moody” - She is tired of being ignored.

Just by the way.. your “girthy mare” isn’t a “bit€ #” she is trying to tell you something. Instead of brushing it off and suppressing her further, let’s ask the question.. why is this coming up and if we don’t know.. how can I reassure her and help her through this?
