I am a horse obsessed human!

 

I fell in love with horses at a young age. I used to beg my parents to pull over to let me feed ponies on the side of the road, and book me in to any riding lesson going.

Finally, I pulled every string possible and got my very own pony at 15, called Reggie.

​

But the more I learned, the less knew; about training, caring, and understanding horses. Reggie was spirited, extroverted and playful, and I couldn’t find a way to communicate with him without leaving both of us frustrated and confused. The more ‘traditional’ techniques and advice I followed, the more our communication and relationship worsened.

 

But then everything changed...

 

 I started to study psychology at school, and realised that in order to transform the relationship with my horse, I first needed to understand it. And to do that, I had to understand myself and my horse.

 

From that point, I became obsessed with learning how the human & equine mind and body worked, and what made each being different. I also found Natural Horsemanship, which helped me form a language and communication with horses. The relationship with my pony blossomed and I finally had a partner that I could trust, understand, and wanted to be with me.

 

I went to university to study psychology, and continued to be with horses. I completed my placement year in Ghana, helping to train the Military's 'problem horses' using natural horsemanship. However, I kept experiencing barriers and blocks, that brought me back to the same place of frustration all those years ago.

​

The more I explored these blocks, the more I realised it wasn't the horses problem at all. It was mine. In order to overcome these challenges, I needed to work on myself. 

 

I was responsible for healing myself, so I could show up and help my horse do the same. 

​

This led me to the journey of self development, where I dived into working on moving through blocks in my own life and improving my mindset.

​

As I worked on myself, all of a sudden the blocks with the horses were non existent and I was creating relationships with them that were completely different!

​

In 2020 I wanted to complete the 'puzzle' and learn more about re-balancing the equine body, so I trained and qualified as an equine sports massage therapist. I became even more aware of the connection between a horse’s emotional and physical wellbeing, and was inspired to integrate it into a more holistic model of healing.

​

It is now my passion to bring this all together, to help support fellow equestrians on their own journey, guiding them to find answers within the relationship with themselves and their horse.
