VICTORIA - WE ARE THINKING OF YOU AND YOUR HORSES.

Already horses have died in the Victorian bushfires and our hearts go out to every horse owner who have suffered already.

Some tips on handling horses in fires:

***************************************************************

On high fire danger days (Extreme/Catastrophic)
Gear Removal: Remove rugs, synthetic halters, boots, and fly veils; use leather/cotton if needed.
Safe Zones: Move horses to large, bare paddocks with minimal fuel, a dam, or a sand arena (away from buildings).
Gates: Open internal paddock gates but do not leave external property gates open; shut them to prevent panicked horses from running onto roads.

*********************************************************************

I've found a group that might be helpful for horses who need evacuation:

We sincerely hope you can find safety for your horses, the rest of Australia are with you.

Please stay safe.

Most people think I'm busy
helping my horses live their best life.
The truth is...
they're helping me live mine.
They slow me down.
Ground me.
Teach me patience, presence, and trust.

On the days life feels heavy, they remind me to breathe, to listen,
to be here - fully.
This isn't just horses.
It's healing. 💜

The silly season is over, and it’s time to gently get back into the swing of the year. If your emotions feel big this week, don’t rush to calm them. Pause. 💜

Notice where they live in your body.
Breathe with them, not over them.
Strong feelings aren’t asking to be fixed — they’re asking to be felt safely.

Horses show us this so beautifully, when we slow down and meet the moment honestly, their nervous systems soften… and so do ours. Just like horses, regulation doesn’t come from control. It comes from presence. One small moment of honest noticing can shift the whole day. ✨

Try this gentle breathing for relaxation:
• Inhale slowly through your nose for 4
• Pause for 2
• Exhale softly through your mouth for 6

Repeat 3–5 times, letting your shoulders soften and your body settle — just as a horse does when they feel safe and grounded.

🦄 With your horse:
On your horse or standing quietly beside them, breathe slowly and patiently, and wait for your horse to offer an exhale. When they do, match it with your own. That shared breath often becomes a moment of deep connection and calm for you both — an invitation to let stress and worry leave your body, and simply enjoy the moment you’re sharing together. 🫶🏼

What a magical afternoon witnessing the journey this mother & daughter shared together. After completing 10 beautiful sessions, they proudly received their Level 1 Horse Whispering certificates. 🌟

At the heart of it all was our gorgeous Beauty, quietly sharing her wisdom and holding space for healing hearts. Through body language, energy, and connection, the bond and communication with liberty work these two have developed is truly astonishing — we are so proud. 🫶🏼

So happy to capture three beautiful souls glowing together in these stunning images. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you both and witness your connection grow. So excited to begin Level Two next week and step into another 10 sessions of joy and magic together. 💫

It’s clients like these, and moments like this, that make my work so special. I love that so many youth sign up and then we end up with siblings and/or parents joining in the program too — I feel incredibly lucky every day and deeply grateful to have so many inspirational clients and every single one of them is so special plus I to get to work with our magnificent horses everyday, it is a dream come true. ✨💜

There’s a beautiful depth of understanding that unfolds in the quiet moments shared with a horse. When we slow down, soften our energy, and truly listen, horses communicate in ways words never could. 💜

In that stillness, we don’t just understand our horses more deeply — we begin to hear ourselves too. ✨

If you’re ready to discover the beauty of quiet connection and authentic communication, we’d love to walk that journey with you. 🫶🏼

There’s a certain kind of red, fiery horse that doesn’t need to prove anything.

Its fire isn’t chaos. It’s clarity.
A steady heat that knows when to move — and when to stand.

I’ve met women with that same energy. Im often associated with this too

Women who were told they were too much. Too intense. Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too strong.
Women who learned to dampen their fire so they wouldn’t burn the room down!

But fire was never the problem.

Uncontained fire looks wild. Suppressed fire turns inward. But grounded fire?
That’s power with presence. It feels great to have that energy and life force inside too.

A fiery horse doesn’t ask permission to be what it is.
It listens. It feels. It responds.
And when it moves, everything else adjusts around it.

A red, fiery woman carries that same medicine.

She’s not rushing anymore. She’s not apologising for her depth.
She’s learned to let her body lead instead of her fear. That's True empowerment!

Her fire warms. It clears. It calls truth forward.

This isn’t about dominance.
Or force.
Or pushing through.

It’s about learning how to hold your fire without losing yourself to it.

The horses teach this better than words ever could.

When a woman remembers how to stand in her fire — grounded, regulated, present — she doesn’t need to chase anything.

She becomes something others feel safe to come closer to.
