What Horses Teach

One of my clients, Olivia, who is 49 years old, is a perfect example of a woman who has found joy and fulfillment through horse riding. Olivia had a passion for horses since she was a child, but it wasn't until she turned 43 that she finally bought her own horse, Jack. Jack is like a childhood dream come true for Olivia.

Olivia shared with me, “I've always wanted a horse, and after losing a couple of friends early on, I realised the importance of living in the moment. But owning a horse is more than just fulfilling a childhood dream. I've learned so much from Jack, with Chonti's guidance, especially on how to deal with bad days when my anxiety gets the best of me.

Working with Chonti and Jack has helped me control my emotions and thoughts, and I always feel better after spending time with them both in my sessions.

Horses have a way of bringing out emotions, helping you gain clarity, and making decisions. It's all about being present in the moment, and horses are great teachers of that. They live in the now because that's how they survive as prey animals. When you're with horses, you have to be in that same mindset. You can't dwell on the past or worry about the future, or else mistakes happen. Jack and Chonti have been my rock through it all."
