Shinrin Yoku, or ‘forest bathing,’ is the Japanese practice of immersing yourself in nature to boost mental and physical health. Our wooded trails are perfect for reconnecting with the earth and yourself 🌳.

Dr Temple Grandin is one of the best known animal scientists in the world. She grew up in America, and she is autistic, which means her brain works a little differently to most people’s. She often says she “thinks in pictures.” This helps her notice tiny details about animals that others might miss.

Most of her career has been spent improving how cattle are handled on farms, making systems calmer and safer. (Which is why many farms have safe handing pens for cattle on farms today)But her ideas are just as useful when we think about horses.

Temple reminds us that animals don’t see the world the same way humans do. A shiny puddle, a flapping jacket, or a garden chair in the wrong place might look like danger to a horse. Horses are prey animals, always on the lookout for threats. What seems silly to us can feel very real to them.

As she explains: “Horses have to see the same object from all angles. They don’t automatically transfer learning from one side of their brain to the other.” In other words, a horse that walks calmly past a wheelbarrow on the left rein may still shy at it on the right.

For coaches and riders, this matters. If a horse spooks or refuses, it isn’t “naughty”, it is reacting in the only way it knows. Our job is to slow down, let the horse look, and give it time to learn.

Temple also talks about how animals respond to pressure. A gentle aid, released at the right moment, helps the horse to understand. But rough hands, loud voices, or constant pushing only build fear. As coaches, that means showing riders how to be clear but kind, guiding, not forcing.

And this links horse welfare with rider welfare. A calm horse gives the rider confidence. A frightened horse makes the rider nervous. By putting the horse’s feelings first, we create safer, happier lessons for both.

Temple Grandin may have made her name with cattle, but her lessons about patience, clear signals for animals are pure gold for anyone who works with horses. When we see the world through the horse’s eyes, we become better kinder horsemen.

🌿✨ Did you know your body has a built-in relaxation switch? It’s called the vagus nerve — the longest cranial nerve that connects your brain to your body, helping regulate stress, digestion, and heart rate.

When the vagus nerve is stimulated, it signals your body to leave “fight-or-flight” mode and shift into rest, digest, and heal. 💆‍♀️💗

Here are a few simple ways to activate your vagus nerve and invite calm:
🔹 Slow, deep belly breathing
🔹 Humming, chanting, or singing 🎶
🔹 Spending time in nature 🌳
🔹 Gentle movement or yoga
🔹 Connection with horses 🐴💞 (our favorite here at Hold Your Horses Farm!)

When you nurture your vagus nerve, you give your body permission to release tension, balance emotions, and restore peace.

✨ Your healing begins with a single breath. ✨

Stop wasting your time on things that aren’t important.

Stop chasing people who don’t show up for you.

Start showing up for the ones who do.

Start living for YOU. Life’s too short to do anything else.
