A great reminder about horses brain and therefore behaviour:

"The equine brain is not build for OBEDIENCE.
It is built to keep a prey animal alive:to scan the environment, detect what matters, predict what might happen next,and guide action in ways that protect safety and preserve connection."

From the book:
"A horses life" by Dr.Steven Peters (Equine Neuroscientist), Mark Rashid and Crissy Mc Donald

This is fact backed by science.

I am thinking, the more we understand horses from a HORSES perspective, the better we can engage with them.

Connection with a human that is calm, focused and present certainly helps a horse to learn and thrive.

Nobody is perfect and don't have to be. 🙏🐴

When I think about how I have sometimes ridden, trained and handled my horse, or let others engage with my horse 20 years ago, I feel sorry for my horse.

But I did not know it better 20 years ago and constantly learned more, raised more questions, changed perspective and did a lot of research so I could understand more and do better.

Certainly the information and science research has provided so much more insights as well over the last 20 years.

So,stay curious, never stop asking questions,and try to learn more everyday 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

❤️🐴🙏

Happy weekend ❤️🐴😀

When you relax, your horse relaxes. Horses sense tension immediately.

A calm nervous system helps them trust you.

Hypnotherapy and somatic work teach you presence, focus, and softness in the saddle 🐴❤️

Think your mind is the problem? It might actually be your body.

Sometimes your mind feels messy because your body is asking for help. When we support the nervous system through breath and gentle movement, everything begins to settle.

You are not broken, you just need softness and safety 🌿💖

People sometimes giggle when I mention Chair Yoga and say, “Is that even yoga?”

Yes, and it is smarter than you might think. Chair Yoga creates stability and safety so your nervous system can relax. No twisting into pretzels, no lying on the floor. Just gentle movement, breathing, and awareness using a simple chair.

It helps posture, mobility, and mindfulness, especially for anyone with tension, injuries, or long days sitting.

Yoga is not about what shape you make. It is about how it feels inside. So next time you think, “I cannot do yoga,” grab a chair and try again 😉

You can sign up for my winter online chair yoga classes on my website here -
