Sarah Joy is a self confessed "Horseaholic" since she could talk she has literally followed horses around taking her on an eclectic equine journey through many disciplines. After her initial introductory to horses through Pony Club, competition and a decent stint working and training racehorses, she saw a big need for change and that horses were generally misunderstood. She didnt need to look far

as they say "when the student is ready the teacher will appear" and they did !!and they werent all two legged ! She trained and has been mentored by some amazing horse people yet her most infuential teachers are the horses themselves. "I will never stop learning and if ever I think I know it all I will meet a horse "teacher" or a student that will remind me that I dont ! She has been helping people to achieve a HAPPY, SAFE and EFFORTLESS relationship with their horses for over 25 years!! Her ultimate aim is to make this a better world for horses!! She prefers to offer "guidance" over "instruction" so that people can experience their individual relationship with their individual horse and develop CONFIDENCE , SKILLS, PATIENCE, EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION to instill TRUST with their horse in a SAFE and guided environment . Sarah has been a bitless advocate since the early 90's and can help you transition from bits to bitless. She teaches all ages

To add to this she also is a fully accreditated EQUINE BODY THERAPY PRACTITIONER and EQUINE ERGONOMIST! She can help your horse further to eliminate and alleviate PAIN and DISCOMFORT by addressing any Saddle issues and skeletal, muscular and all soft tissue issues with this highly effective, vet endorsed remedial therapy . The strength of EBT lies in the total body approach, starting with an overall assessment of the whole horse including hoof balance. The assessment identifies the key areas for treatment, with the initial treatment often ‘unlocking’ other areas of the body. This can resolve deeper long-standing issues that may have been affecting performance and general well-being. EBT is based on the priciples of the highly respected and renowned BOWEN TECHNIQUE. Sarah also integrates Red Light/Photonic laser therapy when required. The benefits of an Equine Body Therapy treatment to your horse include:
Contributes to muscle strength and suppleness
Assists in joint mobility and range of movement
Helps overcome skeletal issues
Improves circulation
Alleviates pain and discomfort
Contributes to detoxification and lymphatic drainage
Minimises muscle, tendon, ligament stiffness and strain and facilitates tissue repair. Addressing these issues can ultimately
EMPOWER YOUR HORSE AND MAXIMISE WELL BEING AND PERFORMANCE! For more information go to www.equinebodytherapy.com

Cooma Mt brumby Sanctuary ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

After spending a few days in the mountains out of reception range, we needed a chance to reconnect and call home to check on own own herds etc and to help!! So we headed to the Cooma Mt Brumby Sanctuary to help out, where a small group of dedicated individuals work tirelessly to care for rescued brumbies. Gabriella and her team deserve boundless appreciation for their selfless dedication, as the work they do is not only physically demanding but also emotionally taxing, yet deeply rewarding.

It's heartbreaking to witness these magnificent creatures deal with fear and uncertainty, particularly with gates, rails, humans and transport crates, yet moments like watching Jacob and his new companion play was pure delight!! So cute!
Some newcomers adapt to the daily routine remarkably well within just a week, which is a testament to their resilience and to Gabby and her teams amazing care, even though they face a monumental adjustment, their fundamental needs are met, and perhaps, with time, the memory of freedom's loss will fade. And over time bonds with their new humans will flourish.
I think you can take the brumby out of the mountains but you can never take the mountains out of the brumby!

Sad day tomorrow for our beautiful brumbies who face the aerial slaughter!
There is no justification for the most barbaric animal cruelty!!

Kate and I witnessed brumby herds that were peacefully grazing and basking in the sun not harming anyone or anything and totally unaware what they are about to face!
Tomorrow we will prob head to the Cooma Brumby Sanctuary to help out with the new rescued intake from the Mountains.

This is a rough draft of my new song that I recently wrote and wanted to share it before tomorrow. Wish i had my guitar!
Run Brumby Run, Hide Brumby Hide, Please Stay Alive 🤞

Nothing like getting the jimmy jams on after a long day with the gg’s . I recently brought these but I can’t understand why I keep hearing the theme song to “prisoner” hummed from certain family members 🤷‍♀️
Actually my son is working on a jingle for a new series I’m in called “ Prison mum” so stayed tuned! If you have any ideas as to what my crime could be let me know please, any creative input welcome 🤪
