My aim is to provide long term effective treatment by addressing the root cause problems and re-establishing balance, unity and function within the body.

Many treatment techniques focus on just masking or hiding symptoms rather than understanding the reason that problems develop in the first place. One of the main reasons for this is that they look at the body in individual sections... for examples a horse has a problem with its back, its stomach or it’s hock
The reality though is that every part of the body is intimately and completely connected to everything else. When the body suffers from an injury or illness it will soon begin to adjust and compensate in other healthy areas. If the initial problem is not removed, then over time the body will build up more and more compensations and eventually, when it is too far out of balance, the weakest areas will start to show as symptoms. That is the part that we recognise as a problem but they are just the tip of the ice burgh- the weakest areas and final braking points of a generally over stressed and out of balanced body. In order to address the whole problem, it is therefore necessary to work with the whole horse; physically, mentally and emotionally as well looking at nutrition, management and exercise.

When: 18th May 2023 9am -5pm
Where: West Park Equestrian, Westley Road, Bury St Edmunds IP33 3SE

Join us for a day of learning with a twist- some fun! We all want to be progressing with our horses and doing our very best for them but with the growth of online content and more information at our fingertips than ever before, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and fall into stress and worry about whether you are doing everything well enough. As a consequence, we risk losing the sense of joy and freedom drew us to horses originally.
Donna Blinman is trained as a veterinarian, equine osteopath and life coach; David Sanders a Neuromechanics specialist and Bridget Colston a highly skilled horsemanship trainer. Together we have a wealth of knowledge and experience in helping horses and horse owners to be their best happiest selves. For this special one-day clinic we are coming together to give you a truly holistic approach to more joyful horsemanship.
Bridget will be running small group sessions for you and your horse focusing on the art of joy, fun and play. David will be working with people as individuals working with body movement to reduce stress and bring an increased sense of well-being. And Donna will be giving talks on how to work with your mindset and emotions to maximise the joy in your connection with your horse.

This will be a small group day with only 10 participant and up to 30 observer places. Places will be booked on a first come first served basis on payment.
For more information, or if you have any questions please get in touch with any of us. If you would like to book your place please get in touch with Donna.
We can’t wait to share this very horse and human positive space with you 😊

THE NEXT MONTH OF JOY OF CONNECTION IS STARTING SOON 🌹

OUR LIVE JOC WORKSHOP THIS MONTH WILL BE ON THE 2ND NOVEMBER AT 7.30PM and the recording of the session will be posted straight after.
This time it will be with me and we will be looking at how we can learn to work with our thoughts and our habitual thinking patterns to improve the ease and quality of connection that we have with our horses!
We tend to be very focused on our actions when we are with our animals but our thought habits have a really big impact on them too and they can have a huge effect on our connection and training. Once you start to recognise this and learn how to use it in a focused way it can be come an indispensable part of your tool kit✨.
If you would like to join or learn more about or Joy of Connection group then get in touch Xx.

Our new membership group is ready to launch!✨

This unique group created by Donna and Bridget Colston aims to provide knowledge, guidance and connection to all horse owners who have the desire to create healthier, happier lives for their animals and deeper more meaningful connections with them.

We are committed to providing a very high standard of learning together with uncompromised support and sense of community with like-minded souls. What you learn with us will spill over into all aspects of life, so not only can you move towards happier healthier horses, but a happier healthier YOU too!

Every month Bridget and I we will be covering topics on horse behaviour, psychology, training and health care management from holistic conventional and alternative veterinary viewpoints.
We will also be guiding you into developing a deeper understanding of yourself; your energy, thoughts and emotions and how they come together to create your relationship with your horses.

The membership cost is £25 per month. Our October workshops and Q&A will be with Bridget and she will be looking at The leadership myth and understanding true herd dynamics.

Other topics that we will be covering in the coming months will be:
-Understanding your thoughts and how to consciously work with them to change your relationship with your horse (with Donna)

-How Horses learn (with Bridget)

-Understanding your feelings, how your horse responds to them and how to deal with nervousness, fear and anxiety when you are with your horse (with Donna)

-Communication and training choices (with Bridget)

- The fundamentals of your horse’s health, understanding what disease and injury are and their root causes (with Donna)

- Understanding the link between pain and behaviour (with Bridget)

- What is the purpose of pain, why do our horses experience it and how can you make the best choices for your horse’s pain management (with Donna)

We are so excited to get started with you! To join the group or if you have any further questions please get in touch directly with either myself or Bridget :)

‘Understanding your Relationship with Confidence’ zoom workshop with me this Wednesday 7th at 7.30pm

This is the 2nd of our workshops in the Joy of Connection free month trial. All this month we are looking at some of the foundations of confidence. What is it, what does it look like in our relationship with ourselves and in our relationship with our horses? How do we create more of it and what are the things that we do which diminish it?
Confidence is a huge topic which we will come back to again and again within the group but this month we hope to lay some of the most important foundations in this commonly talked about but very often miss understood topic.

If you would like to join in with this workshop, please get in touch with either Bridget or myself and we can add you to the group 😊
Have a fabulous weekend and see you soon ###

**Free months membership for Joy Of Connection with Bridget Colston and Donna starts 31st August at 7.30pm **

We launch on the 31st of August at 7.30pm and our first month is open to absolutely everyone who is interested to learn more about themselves and their horses and is completely FREE!

There is no need to sign up to anything; you just need to send us your name so we can add you to the group for the first month.

The first topic we will be talking about - it's a biggy! - is The Art of Creating Confidence Between You and Your Horse.

This is a HUGE topic, and one that we will return to later in the membership. In this initial workshop both Bridget and Donna will be starting with the ground work of really understanding what confidence IS. What does it feel like? And how does it exist between you and your horse, so that you can understand how to truly build and maintain it. We will be looking both from your horse's behaviour and communication side, as well as the human behaviour and psychology and really breaking down how our thoughts and emotions create or erode the feeling of confidence within us and how this relates to our horses.

For the two months following that we will be building a baseline understanding of why we get undesired behaviours from our horses. Bridget will be beginning to explore how a better understanding of how our horses experience the world can give us insight in to their behaviour. When we are getting undesired behaviour the first thing most people tend to think of is how to shut that behaviour down or modify it; but understanding WHY our horses are behaving in a certain way can radically shift our mindset in terms of how we respond.
Donna will start laying the ground work of how physical pain and discomfort feed into this and how different parts of the body; the gut, liver, bladder, kidneys can disturb behaviour and how to recognise it in your horse.

Our intention for this group is to create a safe, supportive, positive and encouraging community of like-minded people who all want to learn and understand more and more about themselves and their horses with the goal of building truly conscious, aware, loving and joyful relationships.

If you have always wished you could work with Donna or I one to one but we are geographically out of your reach then this group is for YOU!!!

If you would like more information about the membership group in general then you can read here (link to 1st post) or watch our Q&A video ( link to video) or just send a question to either of us.

We are SO EXCITED to get started with this really important work and can't wait to start sharing and connecting with you!

Love Bridget and Donna ❤️
