Heroes Journeys with Horses

23/04/2026

There are moments when life asks more of you than usual…

when things feel uncertain
or in transition
and your energy is being pulled in different directions

And it’s in those moments that the things we know would support us
are often the first to slip

Not because they don’t matter

But because we’re already holding a lot

This is where having the right kind of support makes all the difference

Not more pressure
not more to do

But something steady to come back to
when everything else feels a little unsettled 🌿

Each day brings the opportunity to be present and trust that life is as it should be. Gratitude for what Is.

Some things feel like shifting sand here at the moment…

One of my older horses is nearing the end of his life and I’ve been spending time with him… tending, watching, honouring what is changing.

There’s a heaviness to it…
a sense of not quite being able to hold onto anything steady.

And at the same time…
a deep gratitude for the years, the bond, the lessons.

It’s a kind of in-between space…
where each next step needs to be felt into carefully to serve the highest good of all.

Alongside this, another horse has a wound that is tricky to treat because he’s a sensitive guy with a history of trust issues
and is needing slow, patient work.

I’m aware too of how these moments stretch the capacity of the herd… and of me.
And what it takes to hold space well, with the steadiness and presence this work asks for.

And so, honouring that…

I’m pressing pause on our equine facilitated sessions for a few weeks to give space for care, for tending, and for things to settle.

This work has always been about more than sessions.

It’s about presence, care and meeting what is here, as it is 🌿.

I’ve been thinking about a horse who shaped me more than I understood at the time.

His name was Dancer.

He nearly died once.
I nearly got crushed in the process.
And what followed changed how I listen — to my body, my intuition, and my own inner fire.

“The same wind that blows out a candle fuels a fire.” — Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The last few months have felt like that kind of wind.

Shifts in my body.
Old emotions surfacing.
Testing moments that ask:
Will this extinguish you — or strengthen you?

Dancer taught me something I’m remembering again now:

Fire does not need to destroy to be powerful.
It needs to be tended.

This new moon, I’m not pushing.
I’m orienting.
Listening.
Strengthening quietly.

If you’re navigating change — in your health, your relationships, your sense of self — this one might be for you.

I wrote about it in this week’s newsletter:
