I have loved horses since my Grandad put me on the back of his working horse aged 4. I have been lucky enough to have ponies and horses for most of my life and I cannot imagine life without them. I discovered Natural Horsemanship in the 90’s which was a revelation at the time and opened up a new way of being for me as a person.
I have used Natural Horsemanship techniques with the ‘problem’ horses that came my way and also in my working life across the years with children, young people with drug and alcohol issues, homelessness and advocating for very vulnerable people. I owe horses a very great deal.
Training in The Masterson Method® is my way of giving back to horses. I attended a weekend course and seeing how such subtle signals from the horse gives us the key to helping them release tension blew me away. Completing the Certification Course was challenging but extremely rewarding. I absolutely love creating a safe space where horses trust me to help them release tension and relax their bodies so that they can maintain their performance and hopefully extend their working life.
It never ceases to amaze me how powerful such a gentle approach can be. I particularly enjoy working with the horse rather than doing to them and I feel blessed to be able to do this work.
I am also a Master Reiki Practitioner.
I cover Mid, North and West Devon and West Somerset areas.
