My passion is working with horses. Anxious horses, horses with behavioral issues, rescue horses, in

It's the little not so little things ❤
Here I am sharing Jin Shin Jyutsu with a blind horse. Unlike any other horse I've treated, her attention was on me and my hands the entire time. Just look at her ears!

We stood on the silence and listened to each other. What a beautiful girl this horse is and kudos to her amazing owner who still takes her riding in places safe for her.

❤ How many ways can you give a hug?

The connection hold is like a hug, you can give it so many different ways depending on what your horse needs. Anxiety? New horse? Horse shut down or difficult to connect with? The connection hold is your new superpower.

The importance of breathing out
When's the last time you noticed yourself breathing out?
I've been trying to focus on this, standing in the field with my horses, one hand on their withers for connection. Breathing out. I forget all the time that it always makes me feel more grounded. Exhale. It's not easy to ignore the million thoughts that crowd in.

As always Nikita has my back. And I like to think I have hers.

Work on your horse? Work on yourself ❤

This empowering idea is key in Warwick Schiller's Performance Horsemanship method.

But what can you do that's easy and effective? Try sitting on your hands!

In New Zealand, Delta and level 4 lockdown has finally reached us again. For the very real stresses and strains this causes one of the very simple things you can do is sit on your hands.
- Binge watching a series? Sit on your hands.
- Scrolling? Sit on one of your hands. Then swap.
- Distressed children needing attention? See if they will sit on their hands.

You will find that this draws down tension and leaves you with wiggle room to think. If you can think clearly you can do anything.

Give it a go! Post a comment about how you get on or PM me.

Taking a breather after a long loping ride with this girl over the farm up to the top of Big Hill.

When that special connection with your horse makes things even better ❤

How's your horse coping with winter? Drop me a PM if you want to book a Jin Shin Jyutsu session for your horse. Think acupuncture without needles 😊

Don't have favourites right? But right from the start this boy stole my heart.
What a magnificent change his owner has seen in him. Getting hugs after giving Tinto a Jin Shin Jyutsu session for allergies ❤

Friends ❤

I love this photo because it reminds me how far this beautiful mare and I have come. Her owner thinks everything started to change in that first session.

When I first met this little grey mare she was full of fear and I worked round her as she circled and let her move as she needed to, to keep herself safe.

Now when I visit her she comes running for a session.

Who would have thought it?! Horses helping humans with stress :)

Early this morning I watched this fascinating clip of freedom trainer Elsa Sinclair talking about Time and Timing: https://www.facebook.com/1473662762/videos/357768382651430/

She acknowledges the fact that many of us lack patience or the time to be patient. She suggests that high stress people (positive or negative stress) can look for details, really minute details because these will entertain your brain so that you can slow down and become more patient.

The minute details you can become caught up with to calm you brain are:
when to move
when not to move
how to move

when you do this, time slows down.

This is how it is with Jin Shin Jyutsu. You are feeling for all the tiny details. It is a two way street. It helps you help your horse and it helps your horse help you. That's what connection is often about right? Focus your mind on every single pulse of energy you feel under your fingertips and you start to hear your horse. You step out of your world and into his. And your horse knows it.

Interested? Get in touch - every session on a horse also includes a pulse read of the owner and a suggestion for how you can best wield JSJ as your superpower to connect with your horse.

The beauty of connection ❤

This week I've had so many enquiries about improving connection with horses using Jin Shin Jyutsu.

The beauty of this technique is that it can be used on both you and on your horse to work on the connection between you. It is a soft touch technique that focuses on listening to the horse and accepting what your horse is telling you.

The side benefit of working this way is that your horse helps you, while you are helping your horse. If you have issues of anxiety, fear, worry about that ride.....Jin Shin Jyutsu gives you techniques to help so you can work towards confidence and happiness together.

Friendships ❤❤
It often happens - here I was at a client's, catching the last of the afternoon sun giving Rosie a session and little sister Koda came to get in on the act. She sat on my foot and refused to move until she got her own touch of too
I love how all the animals congregate around me when I'm doing JSJ

Today I was listening to Warwick Schiller's great interview with Jim Masterson which talks about the mental release that horses find when he uses his technique of body work. It's fascinating to hear Jim describe how the big breakthroughs often come when he stands back and lets the horse know he has seen their reaction. Even if it's a single blink.

I find this all the time in Jin Shin Jyutsu. Horses understand when their reaction has been seen. Then often they want to connect because they know you will listen.

"What did you do to my horse?" Is the question I get most frequently from clients when their horse falls into a state of deep relaxation . The answer is in the pause and observation.

Want to give it a try? Flick me a message and I can show you how to start.

Slow down and breathe out ❤
(Also known as slow down and smell the horses 😆)

This week I found time to give both my horses sessions. They hardly ever get a full Jin Shin Jyutsu hour to themselves. The results were pure happiness though.
Even better - when I rode Amigo a little while afterwards, the connection I was looking for was right there. Talk about best friends forever!
