I often need this message!

A calm and quiet mind navigates the wonders of the world around you with joy and peace.

An overachieving, busy, rushing mind is met with resistance, anxiety and stress - unpinning a stressful life.

Slowing down is strength. Sticking to a way of life that supports calmness and joy is a super power.

Choose carefully, the destiny of your life depends entirely on your choices.

Quieten down, slow down, disengage, laugh, love and live a little slower.

Mindful is a life choice 🥰

Some straight talk about riding ba****ck---

99% of riding well is about creating one creature out of two, the prime example of which is the mythical Centaur.

Little kids who were able to just climb onto their ponies ba****ck and go play and ride developed a feel and a balance and a sense of security that almost nothing else can replicate.

Yes, you can fall off, and yes, you can get hurt, and yes, we now live in a highly litigious society where coaches and barn owners don't dare take the risk of letting kids do this.

But, if you can do it, do do it. It will give you gifts and skills that will last a lifetime of riding, and there is not much else that a rider can do to become as close, literally, to the living, breathing, moving horse.
