When in Spain, why not find some horses to bodywork!!! And then ride!!

It was so wonderful to be given the opportunity to place my hands on some horses in Spain whilst walking the Camino!

It is a win win for me when I work on horses. I always feel energised after a bodywork session!

There are some exciting changes happening with Connections with Horses 🐴
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about where I want to take this work, and I’m really excited about what’s starting to unfold.
I’ll be travelling a bit more over the coming months, so my bodywork in the Armidale/New England area will be changing slightly. Rather than regular bookings, I’ll be doing block bookings when I’m in the area. I’ll post here when I know which months I’ll be around, so keep an eye on the page if you’d like to book in.
Over the past while I’ve also been studying Root Cause Therapy and trauma-informed practices, and I’ve been really lucky to start bringing some of this into my bodywork sessions — with some really interesting results.
And honestly, the more I learn, the more fascinated I become by the relationship between horse and human.
It’s not always just about the horse.
Sometimes it’s the horse. Sometimes it’s the human. And sometimes it’s what has happened between the two of them.
A horse can carry things that show up as behaviour, tension or changes in movement.
A human can carry things that affect how they sit, move, hold their body or respond to their horse.
And then there are those experiences you’ve been through together — a fall, an accident, a frightening moment, or even something that may seem insignificant — that can change the way both horse and human feel and respond, even long after the event.
This is an area I’m becoming really passionate about.
I want to do more around empowering people to understand what’s happening with their horse and giving them practical things they can do themselves.
So, I’m going to start taking this work out on the road and offering workshops around Australia, bringing together bodywork techniques, rider biomechanics and trauma-informed practices.
I’m really excited about this next chapter.
And don’t worry — I’m not disappearing from the New England! 😂 I’ll still be doing bodywork when I’m in the area, just in a slightly different way.
And even when I’m not nearby, please feel free to get in touch if you’re having an issue with your horse.
There’s actually a lot we can do remotely. This can include chatting through what you’re seeing, looking at videos of your horse moving or behaving in different situations, helping you understand what might be going on, and giving you practical techniques and exercises you can work through with your horse yourself.
Sometimes I can guide you through things step-by-step while you’re with your horse, and we can check in afterwards about what you’re noticing and how things are changing.
So, if something isn’t quite feeling right with you and your horse, or you’re stuck with a behaviour, movement or connection issue, please reach out. You don’t have to be in my local area, and you don’t have to have it all figured out before you contact me. Send me a message, tell me a little about what’s happening, and we can have a chat about whether I can help. ❤️
Lots happening behind the scenes at the moment, and I’m really looking forward to sharing it with you.
Here’s to the next part of the journey — wherever it takes us. 🐴❤️

from a bodywork client-

🐴🐴🐴“you have worked wonders on Sharpen the Knives. She ran amazing on Saturday, absolutely flying home for 2nd place. But better that, she pulled up beautifully. All the stretches you suggested have definitely been helping too. A much happier horse. Thank you so much ❤️.”🐴🐴🐴

My life now is about doing things that light me up, living a life of fulfilment, and enjoy living. THIS IS LIVING MY LiFE!

Helping horses to feel their best is what I am here to do on this earth. I knew it at a very young age, but I let life get in the way and people put me off, and it took a while to get to this point. But I’m here, helping horses, keeping my promise to my mare Zaydah, all those years ago.

Do what lights you up, the world will become better for it! ❤️

Today I did a thing on my bucket list. Something I have wanted to do for a lifetime. A step forward for a dream to become a reality.

I spent the day learning all things pack horses and trekking and spent it with some amazing people and super special brumbies. Another day tomorrow and I cannot wait! Tonight I feel content and where I need to be in life right in this moment!

I am really looking forward to my next chapter in my life and the changes that are coming. Scary, exciting and challenging. But it’s going to be worth it. Life happens for a reason they say! This life just gets better and better.

Sometimes it’s what seems to be the simplest of things can have the biggest gains!

Intentional manipulation, visualisation manipulation, scent trails and nervous system regulation and passive exercises where part of many aspects I take away from Yasmin Stuart Equine Physiotherapy Workshop.

So much learnt and so many more questions! I love this work and love what I do! Blessed. Thank you again Shibumi Equestrian Centre for enabling these learnings!
