My Journey 

9 years ago I met Frosty, that one horse that changes your life, forever.

I wasn’t looking for a horse, I had lost two in the previous year and didn’t want to go through the heartache again. He obviously had other ideas.

He was described as ‘Green’, ‘Naughty’, ‘Stubborn’ – he was a riding school horse that threw little kids, and hence was being sold.

That first year with him was the biggest challenge I had ever faced, an emotional roller coaster.

But…..something was there that I felt was wrong, and he was communicating with me. I just didn’t understand what. I was in the traditional world, I had no exposure at that point to any other way of managing or understanding horses, but I felt I needed to explore other avenues. As I did….. he changed.

18 months later he was diagnosed with a broken bone joint in his back, from when he was 2 years old. This explained a lot.

I completely changed my management of him, I discovered track systems and within 3 months Frosty was a different horse, physically and emotionally.

His communication with me increased, he was persistent at getting my attention., I was a fish out of water., Where should I turn next to understand?

I met a lady who was to become a very dear friend of mine. Gill is, among other things, a horse communicator. I started a long journey into understanding myself, driven by Frosty’s communication with her. 

I spent 3 years working on myself, there was a lot to feel, release and heal from. As I did, Frosty changed too. Our bond deepenedWe had a connection and we communicated easily. He healed from his emotional scars as I healed from mine. I trained in Reiki and now specialise in Equine Reik. I have a small business called ‘Life’ that offers Reiki and essential oil sessions for both humans and animals . https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068425120898 

Frosty began to show an aptitude for therapy, often approaching people out in the street he was drawn to. He made a terminally ill lady’s dream come true on one occasion, and helped another with a confidence issue, all whilst out hacking. So I arranged for him to spend a year at an equine therapy centre, for both of us to learn. And our connection deepened.

I was inspired to train as an EFL (Equine Facilitated Learning) Practitioner, and set up EquineCoach https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087840011868,  the rest is history.

We now work together to help adults with everyday life challenges, work stresses, confidence, being overwhelmed and much more. We help people ‘self appraisal’ and self develop, using mindfulness techniques to become ‘Aware’ and be able to reconnect to their inner self; intuition and to the energy around us. Being in the present and reminding ourselves of how to just ‘be’

Finding the magic of this connection with Frosty, this amazing ability to communicate with him, share feelings with him, help him through his physical healing, and also lean on him as I became aware of my feelings & emotions and learned that feeling is okay, has been an adventure, and a journey I will never forget. It is my journey in the company of Frosty. It is also Frosty’s journey in the company of me. It is our journey.

I have often yearned for a platform to be able to ‘shout out to the world’ how joyful and peaceful life can be, once on a journey like mine. It is a challenge to be able to put into words or market the extraordinary experience that is EFL, and the benefits it can deliver. Partnering with Karen on this new stage of my journey is just that platform.
