Adventurous Nature

Watching Zatanna choose to follow a student during yesterday’s Mercury Bay Area School Equine Studies class was a quiet reminder that true leadership and horsemanship aren’t about control - it’s about trust, consistency, and creating a space where connection feels safe.

Samson joined in the adventure today and followed us around the farm… even when the green grass called he was never too far away

How does equine assisted learning support personal growth?

Sometimes it’s easier to look at things from a different angle… to see it play out in front of us, or to explore it through metaphor and story.

Working with horses in a personal development setting creates space for that. Horses have a way of becoming a mirror. They can reflect back thoughts, feelings, and emotions we might not even realise are there.

Equine assisted learning is an opportunity to observe, feel, and to understand ourselves a little more as our own story unfolds.

"The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and freedom."
~ Sharon Ralls Lemon

3 yr old Diego (Flying Ego x HR Khemosabi) is full brother to both HR Edward and Sabi - he is due to be getting started under saddle soon - it’s going to be a busy summer! ☀️

Sabi (4 yrs old) has had a slower start than many horses I’ve known or started under saddle myself. That’s simply how things have unfolded with him due to life’s other adventures. I’ve always believed, and remind my clients - to trust these natural pauses in a young horse’s education. They often arrive at exactly the right time.
However, it has been really nice working with Sabi again this week, he’s a horse I look forward to seeing each day - just as it should be!
