✨🌿In the last two weeks, I’ve been told by both my riding coach and physiotherapist to breathe (“keep breathing!”). Despite being so automatic, often when anxious, or bracing for something we hold our breath. However this tendency to hold our breath, triggers our sympathetic nervous system, making it hard to stay calm. 🧘‍♀️

Horses, whether on the ground or in the saddle, are great at reminding us to keep breathing. To learn more, read on by clicking the 🔗:

Let’s learn to listen to the whispers.

Behavior escalates when the horse isn’t feeling ‘heard’.

If you want to get better at noticing subtle indicators 🚩 before they get louder- you need to focus on behavior and observation.

In the Equine Wellness Academy we have lessons dedicated solely to this.

Horses have walked beside soldiers through history, offering strength, loyalty, and courage❤️🇨🇦

On Remembrance Day, we honour not only the brave men and women who served, but also the quiet companions who stood with them.

Lest we forget🕊️
