Join me in a guided meditation out with my horses. This meditation focuses on connection to ourselves, nature and the universe and the loving support we receive from connecting back to this. You will hear wind noise, horses moving around and birds so please be aware audio isn't pure in a quiet space. If you are driving please listen when you are stationary and safe.

In this wonderfully educational episode I chat with Dr. Sabina Holle about training for a happy, healthy, more beautiful horse. We only scratch the surface on what we could have gone in to, so hopefully we can do a round two!

This clip is an excerpt from the last upload but I thought it deserved its own mini video as it shows me working through a judgement that came up on whether I should wait or carry on. I know lots of people get stuck at this point and often it stops them from doing anything at all incase they get it wrong. Trust your gut and you can't go wrong, you'll only learn. https://youtu.be/evMo2fUD6r4

If you get stuck knowing when to wait or when to carry on/ask again

Before I get on any horse I want to make sure we are ticking all of the pre fight checks, just as you would before taking off in a plane!

Pre-flight checks - what I look for before I ride any horse!

It is so important to stay under threshold for both ourselves and our horses so that we can stay responsive rather than reacting out of fear.

In this episode Ellie chats about groundwork skills to build common language and create relaxation, rhythm, and acceptance. These are the foundations for mental and physical strength in starting or restarting your horse. I also catch up with Morgan, who did the SYOH course with her homebred filly, Minx, and hear how the groundwork has helped her in all aspects of handling and ridden.
