  • Stepping into Timmy’s aggressiveness

    Stepping into Timmy’s aggressiveness

    This post follows on from my two previous posts, as this could not have happened if I hadn’t worked with my own feelings around Timmy getting aggressive when I offer him peace. Those two posts are: Additionally we would not have gotten to this point together without the work already done together around his cribbing,…

  • Crossing the life line

    Crossing the life line

    It is amazing what can happen if we get in our own way. If we open to the sense that ‘All is at it should be’ at any point, and follow our feelings, we can ask ourselves if ‘ Is all as we would like to be?’. There is a difference. If we accept everything…

  • Everything is exactly as it should be.

    Everything is exactly as it should be.

    Everything happens as it should is a difficult one to understand, particularly if right now something not so nice is happening. The trick is to learn about this when it is something you can work with, or enjoy. Then you have techniques to be able to understand and go with it when what is happening…

  • Understanding the feeling you bring to your animal

    Understanding the feeling you bring to your animal

    It is not about the human teaching the horse; it is about the horse teaching the human….if only we could learn how to listen. Well you can….. Learning to be the best person for me and the horses that share my life is a journey of many layers. It will never end. They teach me…

  • To Live and To Let Live..

    To Live and To Let Live..

    When I think of my boy, Bandit, who we lost this day last week (15th February 2023), and seek to feel our shared love again, the words ‘Live and Let Live’ keep coming to me. As these words whirl about in my head, I am trying to figure out what they feel like for me:…

  • Acknowledging memories..

    Acknowledging memories..

    The animals we take into our lives all have a past that is separate to ours, with maybe one exception – when the animal is born from parents that are in our guardianship. In this case we become one of their first memories. We all have memories. Some bring a smile to the face and…

  • Seek to be Whole, not Perfect

    Seek to be Whole, not Perfect

    I haven’t written a lot about Timmy and how we are progressing with his cribbing recently. This is because nothing was needed until today, and all that was needed today was a conversation that has given both of us something to process. When I say process it could mean any or all of these: But,…

  • When connection leads the way..

    When connection leads the way..

    It has been interesting these last week learning to wait. It has been rewarding learning to wait. With both there has been a fear too, a worry that if I don’t ask I won’t know. I have learnt to be present, connect with my own energy and allow it to roll outwards, and then wait.…

  • Listen like Neige..

    Listen like Neige..

    One day and two evenings with a fabulous equine bodyworker, who has given each of the herd the physical releases they were ready for, and their souls had been asking me for, and I am in a totally different place spiritually. How did I know their souls had been asking me for these sessions? I…

  • Wherever we are in our journey, we are enough..

    Wherever we are in our journey, we are enough..

    Recently, as the days have become shorter and colder, I find myself working with my own connection, as though it is my time to deepen these connections, go into another layer. It is as though I am being drawn into knowing more. I am at a place where I can be at peace, be present,…
