I had it brought to my attention recently that while I have a really clear vision for what I am building, I don’t necessarily do the best job of communicating it. From the outside, some of my choices may look totally random, and yet they rarely are (not saying never, lol, just rarely!).
I have had roughly the same vision for what I want to create in the world for over 20 years now, closer to 25 years actually. There are details of it that may have shifted and become clearer over time as I’ve learned more and grown, but the overall vision has remained the same.
So here is (a large part) of the vision:
In a nutshell: I want to improve equine wellbeing and performance.
Not just through private bodywork/rehab sessions, or private training sessions, though these do obviously align with that vision. No longer through rider coaching and trimming - though these aligned with that vision too.
I want to offer world class rehabilitation for horses. In the future, this looks like a place and a service where the best of evidence practice merges seemlessly with complementary and alternative therapies… because I know that both have enormous value, both improve equine wellbeing and performance, and both are better when integrated with eachother than when standing alone. A place with amazing facilities that are actually built for horses, not just for humans. With technology and techniques that are cutting edge, but without losing sight of the holistic approach. Where energy and acupuncture merge seemlessly with imaging and evidence-based rehabilitation programmes. Where kindness and growth are core values in all people who work there. Kindness to horses and humans. Growth for horses, but also growth in themselves, a desire to grow and shift. Because places like this don’t have to become a horse factory, they can keep the heart behind them too.
And yes, this is the reason behind going back to university a fourth time to become qualified as a vet. To truly be able to add that science to what I offer. To be able to offer imaging, appropriate medications, referrals to specialists where needed… and yet also be in a position to suggest more than what veterinary training offers. To know that scans, injections and medications aren’t always the best approach to helping horses heal, recover, or perform at their best.
I also want to prove that performance and wellbeing are not mutually exclusive. Top riders do not have to forego the wellbeing of their horses in order to be successful. We can put the horse first and sport second yet be wildly successful in the sport. Horses can be elite athletes while having their species-specific needs met.
I don't want to just change this for my horses, or the horses I get to work with. I want to be the change, and create something that inspires change in the industry as a whole.
I want to do all of this not just with my own hands on horses, but by sharing my knowledge and experience with others. For those wanting to offer bodywork that looks like the Equine Neurofascial Repatterning Certification. For those who wish to learn from me personally that looks like those private sessions, mentoring or (in the future) having a team who works with me to offer these services whilst also being directly mentored by me in the process.
For those who want to integrate all of this into their life with horses, who want to learn how to blend their horse’s wellbeing with their riding goals, who want to enjoy their horses and have their horses enjoy them… there’s the Holistic Horse Membership. I created this out of a desire to have some small corner of the internet where people truly value being open-minded. Where there is no judgement. Where it’s not a cult, not a cookie-cutter approach to horse keeping or horse training, but instead a place where everyone has something to contribute and everyone has something to learn. Where we can bring in experts in their fields and learn from what they can share. It’s a place where people can ask me their individual questions, and get individual answers without having to book a full session (because time and money is a factor). I’ll be honest and say it scratches my own itch - my love of teaching and sharing my knowledge - now that I’ve closed down the coaching side of my work.
And here is my ask. If you feel that this vision is worth supporting, if you too want to see a transformation in the way we go about improving equine wellbeing, then I would love to see you in the Holistic Horse Membership. Because your $20 a month goes towards building a regular income that looks great to future mortgage lenders/landlords of that dream property. It also obviously gives you all the benefits of the membership too; access to all past courses, trainings and calls, access to live calls every month with me and with other experts, a supportive community of like-minded and like-hearted horse people, plus the ability to ask me questions about YOUR horse and get a personal answer, not sifting through a generic online course for answers… and the not-so-secret plan is that as I build the big vision, this membership is what I see allowing me to offer pro-bono rehabilitation for horses and ponies in homes or circumstances that wouldn’t usually afford them that opportunity.
Another way to help is if someone happens to know of a property, within an hour of Gatton that might be becoming available by the end of this year. I'll do a separate post on what I am looking for there, but the summary is 20+ acres, ideally some horse facilities already in place, coming available by the end of the year.
And if that’s not something that calls to you right now, but you would still like to offer some support - liking/loving and/or sharing this post actually goes further than you may think.
There’s more to this vision, the opportunities, ideas and dreams go on seemingly endlessly in my mind… but I thank you for reading this far… my work, the people and horses I meet through it, and the changes it creates really do mean the world to me, and I am endlessly grateful to do work every day that is so deeply meaningful to me.
