๐Ÿ‚ Am very excited to share this workshop with you all!

๐ŸŒณ To mark the Autumn Equinox join myself and Alice Short of Equine Elements for a half day workshop.

๐ŸŒฟ I will lead a two hour Forest Bathing session before handing over to Alice who will run a equine facilitated session with her herd of horses.

You don't need to do anything apart from turn up and relax as we guide you through a series of nature and horse based activities....

๐Ÿ‚ Autumn - the theme is "transformation, letting go of what no longer serves you...."

๐Ÿ”ฅ We will end with a tea ceremony around a fire pit as the sun sets (hence the late finish)

Drop me a DM for more information - places are limited to make it a relaxed, friendly and inviting time

So after beautiful weather we have some traditional Exmoor weather....driving wind and rain!

Tilly is an older collie (she is 15.5 years old) with bilateral hip arthritis, some degenerative changes in her back, and age related slowing down - she isn't quite as sharp as she used to ne and a little deaf...but don't let that fool you, she has been romping around the moors like a loon this week! ๐Ÿ•

I have always used and highly recommend the Non Stop Dog Wear coats. Thin so no risk of over heating, with a wide belly band to keep them dry. These coats have been thoroughly tested in this weather and she is always dry underneath.๐Ÿ•

She needed a new one so we got her this bright orange one which is amazing as she does sometimes lose sight of us....but we can always see her!๐Ÿ•


To keep both girls happy after their longer than normal walks they have been absolutely loving their Skinners Recovery bars!

Tilly also has Bowen and Reiki from me to try and keep her physically fit and active

Oh and some great natural support from

I gave my horse, John, a Bowen treatment this morning. He is a busy brained horse, if he were human he would have an ADHD diagnosis without a doubt.

He is usually pretty chilled, and may yawn a little and snooze, but today I observed this behaviour.

Allowing the horse you are treating to express itself during a treatment is crucial which is why if I treat with them tied up it is very loose...

It is important to take a step back and constantly observe the horse's body language and responses.

Many people may misinterpret this behaviour and step in to try and make them stand still for me, but right now, alot of serious stuff is happening for John and he needs space to process and release whatever that is.

I don't know what is happening for him, I don't know how he is feeling in his body at this precise moment, perhaps this is an emotional response.

It doesn't matter that I cannot tell you exactly what it is, but it is important that we observe, take a step back and allow him to have his own space to work through it.

At the end of his session I let him go and he cantered off across the field ๐Ÿ˜‰

I will know, next time I ride him, if there has been a physical response as I know where I felt the tension and restriction in his body.

He is also due a session with Cheryl of Gemini Animal Communication on Wednesday just to check in with him

She is an amazing communicator and I recommend her to any client having issues with their horses.

๐ŸŽ We know how sensitive our horses are to a fly that lands on them.

๐ŸŽ We know that a badly fitting saddle and/or bridle can cause pain and affect performance - *whatever level you may be at.

โš–๏ธ For optimal balance between horse and rider, it is important to remember that our own imbalances (physical and emotional) affect how we move, breathe and react in the saddle and on the ground...

โš–๏ธ When we are stressed we often hold tension in our body; maybe we tense our shoulders and neck, clench our jaw, or maybe we become shallow breathers. This affects how we ride by creating tension, restriction and physical blocks to the horse.....

This has an impact on how they are able to move.

๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ก Ever notice how your horse is less enthusiastic to see you or be with you when you are in a bad mood or rushing?

They are super sensitive to our physical and emotional energy, and sometimes their "lack of co-operation" is seen as being rude ....when they quite simply don't like our vibes!!

๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธThis is why I am a huge advocate of treating both horse and rider

๐Ÿš— I have a portable couch so can treat you and your horse in the same treatment session - horse usually has their treatment first so they can have time to process whilst you have your treatment.

๐Ÿ‡I offer a discount for horse and rider treatments if carried out in the same visit

๐Ÿ‡ I am able to offer Bowen therapy and Reiki. I often integrate Reiki into a session to help reduce stress and anxiety. Bowen is great for helping release soft tissue tension and restriction and improving joint mobility.

The requirements of you and your horse can ne discussed and are easily adapted to suit you both as individuals.

I am early for my Bowen clinic so have grabbed a coffee and am sat under these beautiful lime / linden trees in Stroud. ๐ŸŒณ

They are stunning trees, tall and elegant but always extending their branches down to create shade and shelter ....

You can make tea from their ๐Ÿƒ leaves, and they have a number of health benefits for us and animals.

Take time to slow down and notice the nature around us.

We need more of this....we do NOT need data centres and AI. This is real!!
