Guess who's back! Our special little guy, Victor- AKA Vick the d*ck 😜
As much as my friends did love having him, the Lush paddocks of the area proved a little too much for him. It was always going to be a trial... And I visited regularly to keep an eye on things but he was just being too lazy and eating too much πŸ˜‚
so Vic is happily ensconced back in his usual routine- that being sneaking through everyone's yard, stealing food and generally being a cute little gremlin πŸ˜†
He's already made himself known to his full-size counterpart and has chosen her yard for the day πŸ’•

Brumby love ❀️
Ranger, the liver chestnut Brumby is here for a bit of a Polish up, he has a number of experiences and Miles under his belt already. He's of course buddied up to VBA Harley (2024 CopRice Australian brumby challenge brumby)
Harley is still kicking goals, helping me train the students- and hopefully when we find a minute, get out competing again πŸ˜†

Anyone who knows me knows I'd rather be with horses than talking about myself. But I'll share a small glimpse into the quieter side of the EP Methodβ€”because the work isn't just what happens with the horses, it's also how I prepare myself for them.

I blame it on the Blue moon!
(May 30-31st)
It is a rare occurrence-
and so is this, so lap it up people!
πŸ˜†πŸ˜œβ€οΈβ€πŸ”₯

I am often asked how I work and progress with wild or troubled horses.
The truth is, the EP Method isn't built on force, rigorous training regimes, shortcuts, or a one-size-fits-all approach.

It is built on Observation. Compassion. Education.
This is the balance of knowledge, experience, feel, education and understanding.
Those who have been following me or have worked with me before, know this is my overall "motto"

Decades of riding, training and observing horses from all walks of life has taught me that behaviour is communication. Before I can help a horse move forward, I need to understand what they're telling me ( Pain, trauma, inexperience - they often present differently but can be combined).

The work I do with horses begins long before I step into the yard. Energy is important. The horse will feel your energy before you even get a chance to lock eyes on it. When working with wild Brumbies, this is 10 fold. Brumbies have exceptional ability to "read the room". The important distinction between them and domestic horses is- THEY DO NOT NEED YOU. They know they can survive without you. And they know herd behavior. They will communicate. You cannot get anything past them, they will tell you 🧐 But, just like any other breed, if communicated with correctly, there is a reward for effort on both sides.

Not to get too touchy-feely and sh*t πŸ˜†β€” but this is something many people have been curious about whilst working with me, and having me work with their horses. Finding that balance and stillness, concentrated energy, clean energy is a very important part of what I do and it does not stop when I leave the farm it is life as a whole. A clear mind. An open perspective. A solid foundation as well education is crucial for whatever life it is destined for.
Every horse has a story.
My 'job' (calling) is to listen and implement positive change with compassion.

FLASH BACK TO APRIL 2025...

Present day- Thank you to everyone for their continued support and entrusting me with their horses and their training + 'healing' β™₯️
*****
(Insta post April 2025)
"It's been 6 years since I expanded my training business (having worked off-site as a breaker and ridden track work full-time for my 10 years in Victoria)... And 3 years since I gave up all outside horse riding/ training jobs to pursue my passion full time. Seeing I never had horses as a child, I was a 'late bloomer' in the training business. πŸ˜‚ I worked hard to get where I am. And this wouldn't be possible without all my wonderful clients entrusting me with their horses and my followers supporting my page. Thank you to everyone who has worked with me and supported me throughout πŸ₯°
