With mental health and quality of life becoming more important for ones wellbeing, I know thats its the right time to tell you a little more about what we do. With much consideration, I have decided to offer therapeutic horse sessions.

Horse therapy is a great way to connect with nature while working on both physical and emotional well-being. Spending time with horses helps build confidence, trust, and a sense of calm, whether you're riding, grooming, or just being around them. Their gentle and intuitive nature makes them amazing partners for people dealing with stress, anxiety, or other challenges. Plus, the movement of riding improves balance and coordination without feeling like exercise. It’s a refreshing break from everyday life that helps you feel more grounded, present, and connected.

I have a background in Nuero linguistics and behavioural coaching and am equipped to assist you to take massive action towards your own wellbeing and quality of life.

If you need a change in your life and are looking for a sign, here it is! Me and the horses are ready to assist.

Horses have a deep, intuitive presence that can teach powerful spiritual lessons. They live fully in the moment, showing us how to be present and aware of our energy. Their sensitivity to emotions and body language teaches us about authenticity—horses don’t respond to masks or false intentions, only to truth. They also reflect our inner state, helping us develop self-awareness, patience, and emotional balance.

Trust and mutual respect are at the heart of a relationship with a horse, reminding us of the importance of boundaries and healthy connections in life. Ultimately, horses can guide us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves, helping us find harmony, resilience, and a more natural flow with the world around us.

Why do some horses panic, bolt, kick out, or buck in the canter transition or in the canter itself?
There is a mental, an emotional and a physical side to this issue.
Lets start with the mental and emotional side: when and why do horses canter in nature? Horses move almost 22 hours a day, grazing slowly forward in a walk. When they spook or play there is short bursts of trots and canters. Often they also trot or canter to their water sources and back to the grazing site again.
When they canter because of a spook, there is tension throughout the whole horse- stiff neck, head held high, back hollowed, tail tucked in. Not the kind of canter you wish for when you ride! However, most horses I meet have been working in a 'Fight or flight' mindset their whole lives. Especially if dominance based training methods come into play- the horses do not trust the rider, they do not relax and changing into a canter stride must be the signal to flee then!

Horses cantering when they play with each other is already a much more pleasant sight. They often want to impress each other and therefore move big and beautiful. They arch their necks and move proudly. Their brains are in an open frame. This is the kind of mentality and emotion I would desire for the canter with me on top. We just need to make sure it does not get too excited by staying calm, breathing slowly and having no wild images in our head...

Lastly there is a huge physical aspect to issues in the canter transition: Horses naturally move in rather straight lines. In the case of going on a half circle in a canter, they would naturally shift their weight onto the inside shoulder, and bend their neck towards the outside. The head would also be tilted to the outside. This all aids the purpose of fast and safe flight. All opposite of what we desire when we ride! We have to teach horses how to use their bodies differently. We need to mobilise their shoulders, back and hips. We need to straighten their natural crookedness. We need to build strength and shift weight onto the hindquarters and bending the haunches. First, all of this needs to happen without the riders weight. Only if the horse can balance itself perfectly at liberty, it will be able to accomodate the rider too.
So overall we need to take two major steps in the training for a great canter transition and a collected calm canter itself- we need to establish a trustful relationship, in which canter is play and not flight, as well as establishing the physical requirements necessary to meet our demands.

What horses mean to me:
Horses are just pure beauty. Being around them makes me feel so chilled and at peace, like they bring this vibe of happiness you can’t find anywhere else. There’s something about their strength and power. It’s like freedom on four legs, you know? I feel like I belong with them. Plus, every time I'm with a horse, I end up learning something new, whether it's about them or even myself. They're just next level!
