❤️

When a child is overwhelmed,
their nervous system isn’t asking for correction —
it’s asking for safety.

In those moments, logic is offline.
Self-control isn’t available.
What looks like defiance is often distress,
and what sounds like resistance
is really a signal that something inside feels too much.

Criticism may stop the behaviour on the surface.
Control may end the moment.
But neither helps a child learn how to settle themselves.

What they need instead
is an adult who can stay regulated
and offer a calm they can lean into
until they find their own again.

This is how emotional capacity is built — not in theory, but in real moments of need.

This isn’t about letting everything slide.
It’s about responding to dysregulation
with the very thing that restores it.

Because children don’t learn calm
by being pushed into it.
They learn it by being met there —
again and again —
until it becomes something they can access for themselves. ❤️

✨🐴2026 - The Year of the Horse

As we step into the new year, we can’t help but acknowledge that 2026 will be celebrated as the Year of the Horse in China and many other East and Southeast Asian countries.

The ‘Year of the Horse’ has gained widespread attention across social media recently, with many cultures and communities jumping on board to simply celebrate horses.

But where does The Year of the Horse come from - or more specifically, The Year of the Fire Horse?

It derives from the Chinese zodiac (Shengxiao), an ancient classification system/calendar.

The Chinese zodiac calendar is based on a repeating cycle of 12 years, with each year represented by an animal and its reputed attributes.

This ancient calendar also incorporates five elements, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, which rotate in a 10-year sequence, with each element lasting for two consecutive years.

The 12 animal signs combine with the five elements to create a larger 60-year cycle, producing specific animal-element combinations.

✨ Enter 2026: The Year of the Fire Horse - a combination that occurs only once every 60 years.

Symbolically, the Fire Horse represents energy and momentum, blending the horse’s qualities of freedom, vitality and independence with the fire element’s creative and transformative power.

What does this mean for us at Equine Assisted Therapy Australia?

It really just gives us another reason to honour horses, not just as a symbol, but as a powerful presence in our work.

Every day, we witness how horses show up in many different ways, with their presence, awareness and attunement.

When we learn how horses engage in the world around them, we can also learn a lot about ourselves. 🐴💙

Will 2026 be your year to celebrate the horse?
