Sol Equus - Σᛖᛉ

We were gifted a gorgeous hand made horse. Sonita and Valeta even shared their haynet with it.

CONNECTION: Valeta regularly invites me to connect with her through things she likes doing- playing and eating! She shows a lot of enjoyment doing these activities and likes the associated rewards - food and praise! Horses have similarities with humans eh 😜

Today at Sol Equus, the ducks and koala, as well as Ludo, Valeta and Sonita, all supported 'noticing the Other':
- noticing the environment, noticing others' personalities, strengths, vulnerabilities, and boundaries- all aspects of being aware of relationships with others. 🐴Valeta offered playfulness⚽️ and Sonita offered courage🌻.

Good Morning from Sonita. Being greeted in the morning like this gives me feelings of warmth and joy and brings a smile to my face. I'm grateful to be here.
-What do you notice in your body when you're greeted by loved ones?

At Sol Equus we don't have just 1 gaited horse. We have 2! Sonita is a Tennessee Walking Horse. While Valeta has expressive communication, Sonita's is a little quieter. Living her life in a herd, she is adept at social interactions and working together with others.

Today I watched Valeta and Sonita shake off the stress of moving and new paddocks- rolling, shaking the body, moving the neck, walking...so Ludo and I did that together too in the orchard!

"Animals innately know how to complete the stress cycle in their bodies

They shake it off, make noises and create movements to move it through their bodies

Those primal instincts are full of wisdom.

Connecting back to that preverbal wisdom allows us to mobilize stress in the body."

What is it about animals and being in nature that draws you?
For me it's being present, no agenda, the soft touch of fur, innocent eyes, outdoors fresh air that brings feelings of joy and a calmness in my body. Next time you're out in nature I invite you to notice what is in your environment and body that might give you a sense of joy.

Valeta is very open with her opinions and emotions. She expresses happiness, frustration, playfulness often and loudly. She has no hesitation walking away when she feels discomfort or needs to process. I learn a lot from Valeta and she is willing to share her insights with others. If this is of interest to you feel free to reach out for a session with Valeta.

Horses are always in their body and are great at reminding us to be in ours. Contact Sol Equus for a session to embrace Embodied Awareness being grounded, present, noticing sensations, feelings and your surroundings.

My connection with Valeta is sometimes indescribable when it comes to our bond.
- How did we get there? Trust, respect, commitment, perseverance, time, boundaries, consent, regulation, relaxation, fun, communication, compassion, presence, transparency...

The love that animals offer is such a reminder about unconditional positive regard. I've witnessed beautiful moments when Valeta has offered love and support to clients and it is an honour to be part of her journey and growth. **Feel free to reach out if you are also on a journey of growth and would like to try experiential learning and receive love and support from Valeta in a safe space.

Sonita is discovering her voice and that it's safe to have opinions and make choices
