Healing

When I started out on this journey I had no idea where it would take me. I have to be honest and state that I didn't want to work with people much at the time. I was totally focused on the horses, and what I could do for them.

Not surprisingly, many people who contact me for training tell me that they prefer to help the animals, rather than the people.

I can tell you now, this is a cop out!

For the first few years, as I was eased into this work, I was let off quite easily. Then it started to become apparant that I was not going to be allowed to help the horses unless I developed empathy and understanding for the owner.

I recall one of the first horses who showed me the wisdom of this. He was a wise old soul, and his communication with me was awesome. His name was Devon. He has passed over now - to help those less educated in 'horse heaven'.

Very early on in the consultation he began to tell me about his owners life, and how she was struggling. His owner was a lovely lady, and the tears soon flowed. I so remember how wonderful this felt. Not only was I helping this beautiful horse, but I was also helping his mum. It was a turning point, and everything changed from that point.

I retrained as a Life Coach. Temperament professional [psychometric testing] and studied as much as I could in order to be able to help people.

I began my journey with people. It was far from easy, being sometimes painful but always incredibly rewarding. I learned much about myself, which created an increase in confidence, empathy and communication skills. And, quite remarkably, as I got better with people, I became a more effective spokesman for the horses. I became comfortable in my own skin.

This is not the fast easy route, but it is undisputedly the greatest road to follow. If life doesn't stretch you a little, then you are not pushing out enough. If you are feeling a little uncomfortable, well done you are on track!

Know this and accept it, and your life will become easier. The flow will be greater, and the horse will resonate with your truth as you discover it.
