A snapshot of 50 recent funding applications to Animal Therapies Ltd shows the most common reasons for people needing animal-assisted support are mental health conditions, trauma and abuse recovery, anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, neurodiversity, financial hardship, and family violence recovery.

Applications were for children, young people, adults, parents and carers — with strong representation from children aged 5–12 and adults aged 35–55.

Animal-assisted and nature-based therapies can play a powerful role in helping people feel safe, connected and supported on their recovery journey.

Routine care is such an important part of keeping our horses happy, healthy and comfortable 💙

On Wednesday, Peggy and Pandora had their dental examinations. Peggy brought a little drama to the appointment at first 🤭 but with calm, patient handling she soon settled beautifully. Pandora, on the other hand, showed impeccable manners and took it all in her stride ⭐

It’s also a reminder that little Oriana will be due for her very first dental examination in another 6 months — they grow up so quickly!

We’ve also taken advantage of the recent rain to get feet tidied up, and vaccinations are next on the list so everyone heads into winter feeling their best.

Routine health care isn’t just about preventing problems — it’s about helping our horses stay comfortable, regulated and able to do their jobs confidently and safely 🐴🍃

Supporting Women Through Peri Menopause & Menopause with Nature-Based Therapy

Peri-menopause and menopause are significant life transitions that can impact emotional well-being, identity, relationships, and daily functioning. Many women seek therapeutic support during this time to navigate:

• Mood changes and emotional regulation
• Stress, overwhelm, or burnout
• Shifts in confidence, roles, or identity
• Sleep disruption and fatigue
• Life transitions, grief, or relationship changes

At Bellview Connection, I offer a range of therapeutic options designed to meet women where they are — with flexibility, warmth, and a strong grounding in evidence-based practice.

🐴 Equine Assisted Therapy
Working alongside horses provides a unique opportunity for emotional regulation, nervous system settling, and embodied awareness. Horses offer immediate, non-judgemental feedback and support clients to build confidence, clarity, and connection.

🚶‍♀️ Walk and Talk Therapy
Movement and nature-based environments can reduce stress, support emotional processing, and make difficult conversations feel more approachable.

🌿 Outdoor Counselling Sessions
For clients who prefer a quieter pace, sessions can take place seated outdoors, offering a calm, grounding environment that supports reflective work.

My approach is strengths-focused, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client’s needs.

If you support women experiencing peri menopause or menopause — or if you’re navigating this stage yourself — I welcome referrals and enquiries.

🐴 Menopause Mood Swings? Hot Flushes? Brain Fog?

Let’s just say… you’re in excellent company.
Peri menopause and menopause can feel like your body is running updates you definitely didn’t schedule.
If you’re craving calm, clarity, or just a moment where no one needs anything from you — I’ve got you.
At Bellview Connection, you can choose the kind of support that feels right for your nervous system:
🐴 Equine Assisted Therapy
Because sometimes the most grounding thing in the world is a horse who doesn’t care if you’re sweaty, emotional, or questioning everything. Horses offer steady, non judgemental presence — perfect for reconnecting with yourself.
🚶‍♀️ Walk and Talk Therapy
Fresh air, gentle movement, and space to talk through the big stuff. No fluorescent lights. No pressure. Just nature doing its thing.
🌳 Outdoor Counselling
Prefer to sit and breathe? We can do that too. The gum trees are excellent listeners.
💛 Why Women Come to See Me
• Emotional ups and downs
• Feeling overwhelmed or “not quite myself”
• Identity shifts and life transitions
• Stress, fatigue, or burnout
• Wanting a safe, warm space to talk or vent
If you’re navigating this season of life and want support that feels gentle, flexible, and real — I’m here.

🌿 Feeling a Bit “Menopausal ish”? You’re Not Alone — And You Don’t Have to Navigate It Solo 🌿
Hot flushes… mood swings… brain fog so thick you forget why you walked into the room…
Peri menopause and menopause can feel like your body is running its own secret side project.
At Bellview Connection, I offer a calm, grounded space for women who want support, clarity, and a moment to breathe — without the pressure to “hold it all together” and be able to share what you are experiencing without feeling judged.
🐴 Equine Assisted Therapy
Sometimes the most soothing company is a horse who doesn’t care if you’re sweaty, emotional, or questioning every life choice you’ve ever made.
Horses offer steady, non judgemental presence — perfect for grounding, reconnecting with yourself, and finding a sense of calm when your hormones are doing cartwheels.

🚶‍♀️ Walk and Talk Therapy
Prefer to move?
Walking side by side in nature can make it easier to talk through the big stuff — stress, identity shifts, relationship changes, sleep struggles, or simply feeling “not quite like yourself”.

🌳 Sit and Talk Sessions in Nature
If you’d rather slow down, we can sit outdoors under the gum trees and let the fresh air do some of the heavy lifting.
Nature has a way of softening the edges and helping things feel a little more manageable.

💛 Why Women Come to See Me
Many women seek support during peri menopause and menopause because they’re navigating:
• Emotional ups and downs
• Changes in identity, confidence, or relationships
• Fatigue, overwhelm, or burnout
• Grief or life transitions
• Feeling disconnected from themselves
• Wanting a space that feels safe, warm, and genuinely supportive
You don’t need to “push through” or pretend you’re fine.
You deserve support that feels gentle, flexible, and grounded in real connection — whether that’s with a horse, a walk, or a quiet moment in nature.

With the wild weather, the horses have been given full access to the covered arena for shelter. They also have a round bale of hay available in the creek and by the arena so if they choose to move around to keep warm, they can also fill their bellies.
The sudden drop in temperature can often mean horses don't drink as much as they should which can cause colic.
My herd have a daily mineral mix which includes salt to encourage water intake.
On windy days, horses often prefer an open paddock so danger is easier to see so the ponies also have a paddock to stand in too.
The sheep were fed early too.
Hopefully, no trees come down in the wind.
