šØ PREMIERE ANNOUNCEMENT šØ
This Thursday at 8:30pm my brand-new YouTube video goes live:
ā10-Minute Groundwork Routineā š“āØ
This routine is perfect if you:
ā Want a simple warm-up before riding
ā Need a quick but effective session when youāre short on time
ā Want to check your horseās posture, balance, and relaxation
Youāll see two different horses (Demi & Will) working through the routine so you can compare how the same exercise looks depending on the horse. Iāll explain whatās happening in the moment and what to look for in your own horse ā packed with tips, detail, and takeaways you can use straight away.
š¬ And hereās the best part ā Iāll be LIVE in the chat during the premiere answering your questions in real time. So if youāre not sure whether these exercises are right for your horse, or how to adapt them, bring your questions and letās talk it through.
š Thereās also an exclusive discount code hidden in the video, plus links to further sign-ups and resources.
š The premiere starts at 8:30pm this Thursday ā the YouTube link is in the comments below. Click it, set your reminder, and join me live!
Donāt worry if you canāt watch it live the video will remain on YouTube.

⨠Why I Do What I Do āØ
My background has always been in the more competitive, dressage-focused world. But somewhere along the way, I realised something importantā¦
The common denominator in the things that were going wrong with my horses was me.
That was a hard realisation to sit with. It meant I had to take a long, honest look at what I was doing, why I was doing it, and the belief system I had followed up until that point. From then on, I left no stone unturned.
The biggest shift came when I met my current horse, Demi. With her, I took a completely different path from the one Iād taken with all my other horses. She became my greatest teacher, and through her, Iāve learned more than I could have imagined about soundness, balance, behaviour, and true connection.
This journey has now spanned over 10 years. In that time Iāve gone down countless rabbit holes, explored every angle, and built up an enormous amount of experience ā learning what works, what doesnāt, and why horses develop the problems they do. Tack, feet, feed, management, exercises, posture, movement⦠nothing has been left out.
It hasnāt always been easy, but I wouldnāt change it. Because now I feel completely confident in my approach, and I know that when I work with people who are open-minded and ready to make changes, we can create extraordinary differences in their horsesā lives.
And thatās why I love what I do.
Thatās why I do what I do.
And itās why Iāll continue doing it. š

Do You Know What Your Horse REALLY Needs?
Your horseās training isnāt just about āworking harder.ā Itās about working smarter.
The RIGHT exercises will:
ā Build the correct muscle chains
ā Improve alignment and balance
ā Create strength without tension
But how do you know whatās right?
Every horse has unique needs. A posture check often reveals subtle issues holding them backāthings that standard plans (circles, serpentines, transitions) donāt address.
š” What if you could stop guessing?
Thatās exactly what I help with. My Posture & Movement Assessments identify where your horse is right nowāand what will help them move, feel, and perform better.
