It was 2005 when I first stepped into the round pen with a horse as my teacher, and I was hooked. I hadn’t experienced such calmness in years. All the external noise and distractions disappeared. I was fully present – not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. I was in a place where I could simply be, knowing I was seen and heard.

I had been feeling energetically and emotionally drained after years of running two businesses while raising two daughters who were opposites – one a bright academic and overachiever, the other struggling with ADHD and, I was also caring for ill, aging parents. Yes, I was overwhelmed.

Did the horses fix me? No, because I was never broken, but they did help me learn to respond rather than react. The horses taught me to lean into a situation, regulate my energy, and be aware of my feelings. They showed me that my emotions are a source of information and inspiration. That feelings matter: I need to care for myself. If my cup isn’t full, I can’t pour for others.

For over a decade, horses had been helping me grow and manage change, so in 2019, I became a FEEL – Equine Experiential Learning Facilitator. Through my FEEL training, I have developed strategies to manage the inevitable ups and downs of everyday living. I’ve also acquired tools and a knowing that helps me ground and centre in an often-unpredictable world.

There is no avoiding the storms of life, but we can also learn how to dance in the rain!

Sometimes when you’re in connection with a horse, you may have a big aha moment where you can surrender and let go of something that’s holding you back. Other times, you may experience comfortable companionship where you can freely explore whatever’s on your mind or creating tension in your body, knowing you are not being judged and there is no expected outcome.

Either way, I’ve learned that the answers come from within and that taking time for self-care is not selfish and more important than ever. My goal, together with my herd, is to create that same safe, brave space where you can rediscover your inner beauty, restore balance and reacquaint yourself with magical, mystical you.
