⭐️⭐️Cowgirls cowgirls cowgirls ⭐️⭐️

I'm in Kilkivan next weekend offering FREE "In the Field" sessions!

🌿These are bite-sized, one-on-one 15-minute sessions where you get to choose your own adventure. Whether you bring your horse or just yourself, the focus is on finding simple, practical solutions to whatever’s on your mind.

🤓Got a problem, a tricky question, or just something you’re curious about? Bring it along, and we’ll explore it together from a fresh perspective.

🐴If you’re bringing your horse, please make sure you come warmed up and ready to jump right in—so we can make the most of our time.

I will also offer a few 60min sessions to participants at a discounted rate while I am on site - please reach out to me to go on the waitlist 🌞

For the free 'In the field' spots bookings are via or their website - https://cowgirlsgathering.com.au

Looking forward to seeing you there!!!!!!

“You can’t ‘spoil’ an infant”

When I teach this to parents it can be a divisive topic: some agree and some disagree.

In my experience and professional opinion this is what I believe to be true: you can’t ‘spoil’ an infant (or any child, person or sentient being, horses or dogs for example) with kindness, care, attention, support or guidance.

You can ‘spoil’ them by withholding the above, not setting and maintaining healthy and developmentally appropriate boundaries and being inconsistent with your behaviours.

Resilient, brave and kind people (and horses) come from homes that pour attention and appropriate expectations onto them through their childhood/lifetime.

Both parts of the equation are equally important.

One without the other will lead to dysfunction.

In parenting land we describe it as: “whenever possible follow your child’s need and whenever necessary take charge”.

I think it’s a great axiom to live life by.

Yours in parenthood and equestrian,
Sandra 🐴🌻

Anyone who turns up with an unapproved dog will be turned away at the gate.
👉 Dog = no entry (unless you’ve been approved and your pup has their own ticket).

Camping with horses: NO power
Camping without horses: VERY limited power

One of the common misunderstandings is see people make Is confusing behaviour with emotions. Emotions PROMPT behaviour, and yes some behaviours are outside of conscious control.

However the real work is often in being these behaviour INTO the conscious realm so that we can feel what we feel and still act like prosocial humans.

You are not your behaviours, all emotions are acceptable but not all behaviours are.
