Horses are my daily reminder to be present and feel my way through life
Georgia & Pearl
As I’m sure you can guess by now… I have always loved horses.
At 14, I met my heart horse, Pearl. She was only 3 at the time and has inspired every major decision in my life since.
Together, we studied natural horsemanship for nearly a decade, achieving my dreams of liberty in open spaces and tack-less trail rides.
During this time, I also ran a successful Equine Assisted Learning business called Our Herd and earned a Bachelor of Equine Science.
I was living my dreams - but burnout was catching up with me fast.
At 22, I experienced a severe Fibromyalgia crash, a condition I had been managing since my teens. The following two years were deeply self-reflective, teaching me a whole new way of relating to myself, my world, and my horses. Because of these changes, I now live a full and active life - and I no longer experience any symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
As for my partnership with Pearl, after our two-year hiatus from riding and training, her body needed support - leading me to my initial study in equine bodywork. These days, after years of study, Pearl is still the first horse I try new techniques with.
Our next stage together involves raising a youngster named Asha. Pearl is loving her role as his adoptive mum, in fact I have never seen her happier.
My dreams for Asha are to teach him with as much Freedom Based Training as possible. In the future I hope that we can showcase the relationship that is possible with freedom, precise timing and a lot of learning from the horse.
Now you know about my journey with Pearl..
I’d love to chat about your heart horse
