Clarifying some misconceptions about the work that I do Often, when people hear what I do, I get asked this question, but for me it’s not so much about whispering, it’s about listening. Another misconception is that I offer Equine Facilitated Therapy. This isn’t strictly true either, at least not in the traditional sense. So,…

I initially wrote this blog early last week, but then something happened on Thursday which prompted me to write this short edit. A friend that I deeply respect, told me that she felt I wasn’t being honest with myself about my responsibility in the situation I find myself with Dax, and that I was placing…

I’ve started to write this blog in my head so many times but not yet had the opportunity to ‘put pen to paper’ – or as I do more often these days, put fingertips to keys! Each inner draft has seen the content shift and change, reflecting my sense that everything around me is shifting…

The last couple of weeks have felt pretty tough here at Equenergy. This is my first year of being a horse carer, having welcomed Dax back in May last year, and Rika in October when we moved to Wales and got our own land. It has been a steep learning curve! About a week ago,…

In my last post, I was excited as we’d finally been connected to the internet via a Minihub and I was at last able to catch up on some work that had been on hold since we moved here, 3 months ago. But things went downhill from there! My computer had been in for repairs…

What are they? Where do they come from? Is there anything we can do about them? This blog has come about because of Dax, one of the horses who lives with us. I’d noticed that he wasn’t himself during this last week, not rushing in for his food as he normally does and seeming to…

Since welcoming Dax into my life back in May, I’ve been on quite a learning journey. It’s been a fascinating process seeing how the theory that I’ve picked up over the years translates into applied practice – and how it doesn’t always fit the individual as neatly as the books and training might suggest! This…

We are still experiencing ongoing technical issues here on the Blorenge mountain – ie we haven’t yet been connected to the internet, so I’ve been relying on cafés, trains and the local library, where I can. We’ve been given a new start date of 26 November, so fingers crossed! Despite the frustrations of being offline…

Friday 2 November Often, I think, our horses need us to give them more time and space than we realise. An example of this came up just this morning. I was poo picking in the fields and I noticed that Rika was yawning. She seems to have been finding the transition to Wales more challenging…

Well, we’ve been in our new home for 3 weeks now! In some way the time has flown by and it feels like we’ve been here for much longer, and in other ways it still feels very new. The time has flown by in a blur and at times it has felt very overwhelming. It’s…

I’d like to apologise for the lack of posting last week. We moved to our new home on 12 October and have not yet been connected to the internet, so everything is being done as and when we can get WiFi or 4G when we’re out and about. Our new home is very beautiful though…

We have a moving date – and a new addition to the family So, it’s official, we have exchanged contracts and the removal vans are booked for 2 weeks’ time! It has felt like a long wait and I can hardly believe that we’ll soon be in our new home. It’s been a very busy…
