  • ..and Risada accepts the bridle

    Following on from my post three days ago Yesterday I asked Risada to come into the arena alone. At first she was quite fidgety and mouthy, and it took about 20 minutes for us to reach a place where we could be peaceful, no thinking, worrying, wondering what was next, etc. This we did in…

    A 3 way conversation about bridles..

    When the horses are ready to talk about something they will. We just have to be ready to listen…. Timmy, Risada & I started the New Year with a conversation about bridles. I have been walking my pony out with a Micklem bridle which allows me to attach the lead rope to the top of…

  • Riding Epiphanies

    Letting go of riding & then a lightbulb moment! So here is a little thing I want to share…I felt last week that I should spend some time looking at my feelings about riding – How me getting back in the saddle would feel. It is the time of year for a little look over…

    Healing responses in the Present Moment

    Balancing within the healing collective We are part of everything and everything is part of us… Practicing being present with Chocolate is always a lovely way to spend some time. When we first started doing sessions it was mostly about just finding my place of non-thinking and just being with her and sensing her total…

  • My Crystal journey

    My Crystal journey

    It is all balance Somebody asked me a little while back how I connected with crystals, and not being used to the question, or talking about crystals in most human company, I found it a little difficult to answer in a specific ‘this is how its done’ way. This is because for everybody it is…

  • Give healing time…

    and time will heal beautifully. Thursday 15th July 2021 Timmy has a severe slash on the inside of his hock. The vet was called and we got the tetanus, anti inflammatory and antibiotic into him but that was all he would allow us to do. Although we tried to sedate him to clean the wound…

  • Holistic Healing

    Holistic Healing

    My personal definition It has been a spring and summer of many issues which has deepened the way I look at healing, or more precisely ‘whole healing’. Neige was diagnosed with Uveitis in both eyes. A couple of weeks after that Timmy got caught up in fence wire broken by my pony crashing into a…

  • We are a river………..

    We are a river………..

    Risada has now been muzzled. This is a second to last resort for me with laminitis. The last resort is to split the herd. First couple of sessions earlier in the week I sensed her struggling to find peace due to pain in her feet, the muzzle, and not being able to eat. So we…

  • Can your horse go to sleep with you on the end of the rope?

    Can your horse go to sleep with you on the end of the rope?

    An exploration into expectation anxiety Its a funny thing ‘expectation’. You put water in a kettle, turn the kettle on and expect the water to boil in a minute or so. If it doesn’t we start to fret and ask questions such as ‘ Is it plugged in? Is it broken? Do I need to get…

  • Just being still can bring incredible surprise gifts

    Just being still can bring incredible surprise gifts

    Join my evening with a family of Coypu Yesterday evening I felt a pull to walk down to the ford which is about 2km from us. I just sat on the bridge listening to the water and practicing not thinking, just focussing on the water, what it sounds like, and the noises of the evening,…
