Invencible ✨
After finishing my education to become an equine facilitated coach in the United States in 2011, I was longing for ‘being with horses’. I quit my job in Amsterdam and I moved to a large estate in France where I lived alone for a year, taking care of the land and a herd of 5 lovely horses. While taking care of them, they took care of me. Living in nature by myself with the herd, brought me closer to myself and to my talents with horses. Talents that has been there inside me since forever. I got the opportunity to play & experiment with the horses, whatever came to me intuitively. Combined with what I was taught in my equine coaching education. Horse painting, dancing with horses, swimming with horses. Everything happened in flow, as it sprung from a heart based connection. It was magical. Taking care of those horses day in day out and spending lots of time with them in silence. It created a very important base for my work with horses and people today. Sharing my medicine with others.
After returning from France, moving back to the city, I was horseless… which was not good for me. And then, a Spanish beauty came into my life; Invencible 💙 Sensitive, intelligent and oh so sweet. I took care of him weekly for about a year and became friends with his owner. I hung out and played with him in the pasture, took him for walks and enjoyed having horse time again. When I bought my first horse Sía a year later, I did not see Invencible for a long time. But he stayed in my heart and I stayed in touch with his owner from time to time. Untill…, about a year ago, he made his way to a horse stables very close to where my horses are. Tadaaa! Yesterday I played with Invencible spontaneously in the sun, for the first time in years. When we play & work with horses at liberty we give them free choice, if they want to interact and play or not. We instantly connected from the heart based connection that we created 8 (!) years ago. It felt as if it was yesterday, that we played and practice together. Smooth and soft. It brought us both pure joy. Horses meet us in the moment. With whatever we bring to the table in that specific moment. Without judgement. In our day to day lives and our current (fast pace) society, we can easily loose the connection with ourselves. Interacting with horses can bring us (back) in touch with our gifts, our talents and our inner world. They wil naturally support us in this process. Curious what coaching with horses has to offer? Or what a coaching session with a horse can do for you?
