The reason Parelli Students become so good with horses, and so confident, is because they learn FOUR ways to savvy a horse:

🐴 On Line
🐴 Liberty
🐴 FreeStyle
🐴 Finesse

With two on the ground (with or without a line) and two in the saddle (with or without contact), this means you are prepared with all the right skills for any goal or situation.

Having all Four Savvys under your belt gives you the kind of foundation horses wish all horse lovers and riders would have.

You can learn all about it, TODAY, from home, from your barn and anywhere you are in the world.

✨ Therefore it’s still the #1 (online) Natural Horsemanship University.

Level 1 is where your success with horses starts — begin your transformative journey today👇 💛

“If You Don’t Ride or Train, What’s the Point?”

This question reflects how deeply conditioning runs in our culture—even in how we relate to horses.
We’ve been taught that horses must do something to be worth our time. That riding or training is the pinnacle of relationship.

But what if the point isn’t performance at all?
What if it’s presence?

Autonomous Horsemanship invites us to step off the pedestal of performance and into the quiet grace of simply being together.

🐴 It’s not about achieving, it’s about witnessing.
🤍 It’s not about molding the horse—it’s about meeting them.
✨ It’s not about goals. It’s about connection.

When nothing is asked, something sacred often arrives:
Trust.
Softness.
A shared breath.

Riding is optional. Relationship is the gift.
The most profound moments often happen when we stop trying to get somewhere—and start honoring where we are, together.

🌿 Build a Deeper, Attuned Connection with Your Horse 🌿

Have you ever wondered why sometimes, despite your best intentions, the connection with your horse just… feels off?

It’s not about doing more, pushing harder, or trying to “fix” behaviours.

It’s quiet the opposite, actually, about presence, attunement, and the nervous system, both yours and your horse’s.

Through my work, we explore how working relationally with your horse starts with your own body and nervous system.

So often, we’re disconnected from our own sensations, our bodies hold tension, stress, and unprocessed emotions & trauma and this shows up in the way we interact with our horses.

When we’re triggered, overwhelmed, or running on autopilot, we inadvertently trigger stack experiences for our horse, blocking true connection.

💡 The key? Nervous system regulation.

When we learn to tune into our own body, noticing our breath, our heart rate, and subtle sensations, we start to understand what our nervous system is signalling.

This awareness allows us to regulate ourselves, step out of automatic reactions, and approach our horse from a place of authentic presence. When we show up calm, curious, and attuned, our horses respond in kind.

✨ Imagine your relationship with your horse where:

🐴 You can notice when you’re feeling stressed before it escalates.

🐴 You can respond instead of react, creating a safe container for your horse.

🐴 Every interaction is rooted in mutual understanding, not dominance or avoidance.

My Equine Relational Coaching sessions teach us that the horse - human bond is co-regulated, meaning your nervous system and your horse’s nervous system are constantly in dialogue.

By learning to listen, feel, and regulate, you unlock a connection that is profound, healing, and truly transformative.

If you’re ready to step off autopilot, tune into your body, and deepen your relationship with your horse, we can guide you through this journey, where connection and trauma-informed practice meet. 🐴💛

Energetic Body Realignment & Cranial Sacral Fascial Release for Riders

I worked with a rider this morning who had been experiencing persistent hip pain. She noticed difficulty in rising trot and felt as though she was twisting in the saddle.

Assessment findings included:

✨️ A rotational tilt through the right side of the pelvis

✨️ Restriction at the sphenoid, occipital joint, and upper cervical spine (C1–C2)

✨️Shoulder misalignment contributing to compensatory patterns

✨️Fascial restrictions contributing to poor mobility and asymmetry

When the pelvis or cranial system is misaligned, the body naturally creates compensations. For riders, even subtle asymmetries are magnified in the saddle, making balance, softness, and effective communication with the horse more difficult.

Using Energetic Body Realignment alongside Cranial Sacral Fascial Release, I worked with her body to:

👉 Release restrictions in fascia and soft tissue (which can hold patterns of tension and trauma)

👉 Restore mobility through the cranial and pelvic systems

👉 Encourage balance in the musculoskeletal and energetic systems

The outcome after one session:
Her pelvis realigned more evenly, her shoulders became more balanced, and she reported a significant reduction in pain. Most importantly, she felt more centred, stable, and symmetrical.

This highlights how interconnected the cranial, fascial, and pelvic systems are and how addressing restrictions holistically can transform both comfort and performance in the saddle.

I offer Horse and Rider sessions where I work with you both together. These are £120 and roughly take around 2.5 hours

DM me for availability.

😁 Before & After

Yesterday, I had the privilege of working with a mare who had been displaying what her caregivers described as "behavioral challenges." They told me she didn’t want to be caught, resisted grooming and tacking up, and struggled when ridden on the left rein.

When I arrived, I could immediately sense her distress. She was in a highly activated state, reluctant to enter her stable. As her caregiver attempted to put on her headcollar, she turned her head away and lifted it high, a clear and emphatic NO.

👂Listening to Her Story

Through our communication, she shared that she felt unheard and rushed. She disliked being stabled and wanted more time to process requests. She had been trying to express her discomfort, but no one had been listening.

During my physical assessment, I noticed some tension, but nothing obvious enough to fully explain her resistance. So, I asked her directly:

"What else is causing you discomfort?"

She showed me an uncomfortable pinching sensation in her neck on the left side, which was confirmed when I asked her caregiver about her behavior—frequent head-shaking. She also expressed pain in her poll from her head being held down and a strong dislike for the martingale. She had been trying to communicate this, but her signals had gone unnoticed.

💕 Acknowledgment & Healing

I relayed her concerns and recommended:
✅ Removing the martingale to relieve pressure on her poll
✅ Slowing down interactions to allow her time to process
✅ Respecting her "No" and giving her more autonomy

She responded beautifully to the physical treatment, releasing much of the built-up tension. I'll be checking in with her again in six weeks for a follow-up.

This session was a powerful reminder of the importance of listening, to what our horses are telling us, both physically and emotionally. When we create space for them to be heard, true transformation begins.
