What a beautiful weekend of equine foundation practical “hands on” learning ☀️🙌🐴💙.
So grateful to The Tauranga Riding for Disabled for hosting and extra special having some key team members attend!! Also being where my own foundation practise began nearly 7 years ago, where these special horses who give so much to many still enjoy ConTact CARE today 🙏💎💫.
It was wonderful to see the unity of the groups with everyone loving the “hands on practical” experiences, learning to trust what they felt, and by the end of the weekend buzzing at the changes and differences felt within the horses. There were some very relaxed happy ponies 🥰.
In summary it was fair to say that everyone enjoyed “being out of their heads" and "into their hands" and into “the magic of the stillness”.
A huge thank you to Richard Gibbons-Goodhew fellow Equine ConTact CARE Practitioner and Farrier for assisting, sharing his knowledge, experience and sense of humour 🤩 as well as my dear talented friend Bridie Verian from BRV Creative who managed to capture some of these beautiful images whilst getting in amongst it with her hands on too 🙌.
Forever grateful to these special horses for their guidance, wisdom, service, gentleness and teachings forever subtly “showing the way”. Absolute superstars ⭐️✨💫.
