Listening to you so you can hear your horse

Caring for horses can be quite overwhelming at times, especially if we add in our personal goals and desires to the mix. As a result of that it can become quite stressful knowing whether we are ‘doing’ the right thing, making the right decision or whether our horse is happy or not. There are many many conflicting perspectives over management, handling, training, equipment and approaches that it can be so hard navigating situations when our confidence is failing us. The way I work and the combination of the tools I use is designed to help you find your way that is right for you and your horse. To help you find your own communication path that enables you to hear each other, even when you both are under pressure or things are going wrong.

You may know you would like to achieve something in particular, but actually don’t know where to start because you have learned lots of other people’s ways and are now confused over what is your own way.  You may actually just think you can’t do something or have no confidence and think that is just the way you are.   Or, you may be so clear as to what is important to you but not able to put it into practice. Or, you may just not have a clue, but know that what is currently happening is not working.

For me, there are so many variables at play when just using the word listening that I am often reminded how astonishing it is that any of us ever actually understand each other. Let alone when we add into the mix our animals and in this case, specifically our horses. My ‘Connection Sessions’ have the intention of helping you take some time out of all the thinking and reconnect with your inner self in the presence of your horse. Through coaching and working with the guidance of your horse in response to your inner exploration, you will gain a new and deeper insight into what is happening for you both individually and also within your relationship.

One of Linda Tellington-Jones’ sayings that I love is ‘put your heart in your hands and your hands on your horse’. Such a beautiful way to be reminded, especially when under some kind of pressure to still be light, listening and receptive rather than steam on in with our own agenda.
