Love this! 💜

Do you regularly introduce new things to your horse?

Not to overwhelm them, not to test them, but to gently interrupt autopilot.

Consciousness evolves when we step out of unconscious programming. Horses are no different.

When a horse repeats the same patterns, routines, environments and emotional states, their nervous system runs on autopilot. The body remembers. The mind follows. The energy stays the same.

But when we consciously introduce safe, intentional novelty -
✨ A new environment
✨ A different sensory experience
✨ A new way of being with them
- we invite neuroplasticity.

New experiences create new neurological pathways, new pathways create new choices and new choices create healing.

For horses who have experienced trauma, stress, or long-term tension, this is profound. You’re not ‘fixing’ them. You’re offering their nervous system a new reference point.

And here’s the part most people miss…

Your energy is the gateway.

If you introduce something new while regulated, present and grounded, your horse learns:
“I am safe while something unfamiliar happens”

That rewires far more than behaviour. It rewires perception.

This is soul-led horsemanship. Not repetition for control but conscious expansion for healing and trust on the deepest level.

Ask yourself:
🔸 Where is my horse on autopilot?
🔸 Where might gentle novelty create freedom instead of fear?
🔸 Am I regulated enough to guide them through the unknown?

Because every new, safe experience says to your horse’s nervous system:
“There is more available to you”

And that’s where true healing and partnership begins 💫☺️💫

Im absolutely loving the book "The Pivot Year" by Brianna Wiest. Everyday there is a message to read and it blows my mind that each day is so relevant (but it doesn't blow my mind really 😉✨️)

I love todays message reminding us that growth comes from getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. That is where the magic and transformation starts to shift! 😍

I relate this to all walks of life and especially with our walk with our horses. From connection to training etc. I feel every word!

"That is the true test of what is right - Not what instantly falls into place, but what entwines its roots with yours, and allows you to most fully blossom" 🥰🙏✨️

Sharing is caring! 💜&✌️

"But the saddle fitter said my saddle is ok"
Is a sentence I hear all too often, usually followed by "this makes me really sad"

Trust me, if i had a pound for every time I heard this, I would have a mansion somewhere hot by now!

We are all only as good as our tool kit, and that's ok. However, unless we train our eyes to what is "ok" or only rely on our "professionals," we are not always empowered for the good of our horses!

Recently I spent nearly 3 hours with a new clients, explaining in great detail everything I do and see when it comes to holistic saddle fitting. My intention at all my appointments is to educate and empower each horse owner to make well-informed choices for themselves and their horses, to question and find their way back to harmony...

My biggest mission is to normalise what a healthy back should look like.... if your horses backs look anything like the pictures and your saddle fitter tell you "this is normal", "your horse has high withers", "its back looks like that because of their age" or my biggest pet hate "its just being naughty" when displaying behavioural issues...
Please, please reconsider your options for the good of your horse.... This is NOT normal and is equally a welfare issue. I understand that there can be multiple factors involved, and its not always/only a saddle issues, that is why I wholeheartedly believe in a holistic approach!

Every time I see clients being so disheartened by what they have been led to believe, my soul bleeds for them and their horses!
However, there is ALWAYS HOPE, we can regenerate healthy back and posture over time with careful consideration holistically. I always say that if we keep their backs healthy, we are halfway there. The same goes for us humans, too.
We just have to find another way! .. And, sometimes we have to PIVOT from the norm to be the catalyst for change! 🙏

.... let's get to work on building the rainbows 🌈 💜 (if you know you know 😉)

Noone ever questions thunder!

Being away on our retreat in Bali, we have bare witness to some epic thunderstorms during our stay.

During one almighty crack of lighting followed by a bang of thunder that could burst your eardrums, our conversation turned to the wonders of the energy generation to create a thunderstorm. A build up gathering to creative such a shift in the weather pattern and how often a clearing in atmosphere after..... Ultimately, its just energy.

Our conversation continued on with how we would never question thunder yet it can be hard to fathom how many question energy work, both invisible but the shifting is clear.

I have seen, over many year, the shifting in bodies, my own included, with energy work being applied. When the shift in the patterns happens and followed by the clearing of the internal atmosphere....

Its all energy afterall and I will openly welcome a "thunderstorms" to bring about healing, or maybe the calm after the storm! 😉🥰

Stevie Cob, you make my heart sing!

If you could bottle a pony and make him grow to horse height, I think everyone would need a Stevie in their life, such a fun loving pony!

Stevie and his precious parnters Maisie is one of the faces on our banners at LM Saddles Ltd Horse-friendly Saddles, Holistic & Remedial Saddle-fitting and its a privilege to watch them grow together. Stevie, in his back health and Maisie, in height (please stop growing) and also maturing into a beautiful compassationate horse parnter.....

Maybe we need to bottle them both up! 😍

Turning Up the Volume on Suppression!

Travelling across the country, I’m still struck by how many yards still operate with very little to no turnout, where horses are confined within four walls for up to 23 hours a day and only leave the stable to be “worked,” walked, or briefly placed in a pen or on a walker.

I fully recognise that many owners and yards are doing the best they can within the limitations they face. Space, land access, weather, and resources all play a role. However, when a horse is clearly struggling to cope with this level of restriction, it’s important to recognise this as an environmental and welfare issue, not a behavioural one.

Moving from freedom to confinement can have a profound impact on a horse’s physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. When opportunities for movement, social contact, forage, freedom and choice are reduced, changes in behaviour should not come as a surprise. These responses are often labelled as “naughty,” “difficult,” or even “dangerous,” yet in many cases they are expressions of unmet natural needs rather than flaws in the horse.

Horses are not designed to live in isolation or confinement. Suppressing their ability to move, graze, socialise, and explore does not remove their needs—it simply forces them to express discomfort in other ways. Listening to these signals is a crucial part of responsible horse care.

In several countries, minimum turnout requirements are protected by law in recognition of this. It raises an important question: when will the UK place the same level of importance on equine welfare standards?

Progress is being made with many yards utilising and getting creative with space available. Awareness is growing, which is encouraging however, there is still work to do. Improving environments, even in small ways, can make a meaningful difference to a horse’s quality of life. Welfare and hope for a better horse society should always be at the heart of how we manage and care for them.

Trusting the call of universal and intuitive guidance 🙏 ✨️ 🥰

Over the last 12 or so months, I have been so proud of being guided by my beautiful Dolly darling, her needs, honouring her timeline, her no's (which I honoured from day one) and have witnessed her begin to blossom in her confidence. Confidence in herself, her herd/humans and showing us the gentle, kind and precious soul I saw from the first day our eyes and souls locked, behind all her fear and past trauma.

Using a mixture of horsemanship/enriching skills (because I do not believe in sticking to one modality, having a growth tool kit and am just as bigger free spirit as I believe all horses are 😉) has really not only impacted her life but yet again reminded me that slow, small steps really do make the biggest change.

Sometimes, when working with horses in such a kind, humbled by their presence way and what they can bring to your own personal growth and learning, I can often find myself doubting what my heart and soul is telling me.
I guess it can sometimes come from a fear of letting my horses down or fear of Dolly going backwards or failing her. However, I know that this never helps anyone and sometimes you just have to rip the bandaid off and see where it can lead you.

Today, whilst doing our mixture of horsemanship with my dear friend Rosca Horsemanship and Dolly's bestie (apart from Cal and me of course 😉), we felt called to continue our enrichment in a different environment. As Ross set about setting up some treat searches outside their field and safe place, I felt a calling to go to the gate and take both Cal and Dolly out together. In that moment no fear or doubt was in my soul and we calmly, softly and confidently walked out together, the three musketeers! 😭🥰 (we have never done this before and Dolly, even 6 months ago would have struggled with this)

The next thing we knew, we were walking Dolly in and out of the field, continuing her treat searches whilst Cal watched in the field. Nothing but aligned calmness and a inner knowing that all was well for everyone!

To say Im proud would be an understatement.
Setting up games and encouraging curiosity, play and healthy movement excercises on their terms (something I have been enjoying after having the privilege of attending a scent work course early last year and have continue to explore alongside my own ever growing tool kit) has been such a game changer for my precious Dolly darling and bonus, it has given my nearly 31 year old boy a spring in his steps! How wonderful that I get the honour of sharing theses moments with my beautiful babies. And, of course having Mr Cooper on our team and holding space for us all! Always grateful for you Ross 🥰

Never underestimate the power of simplicity or your own intuition, its your inner sat nav, your true north! ✨️🙏😍
