Equine EQ - Equine Assisted Learning

Hello. I think it’s good to remember.

Some of my favourite moments come when I am working with women. Women who have poor self confidence and self esteem, who find it hard to trust, even themselves.
So how powerful is it to put on a blindfold and lead a 500kg animal through an obstacle?
Because not only must you trust the horse, you must also trust yourself. Trust that you can find the right path. Trust in your judgement. Trust that you can keep yourself and your horse/teacher safe. Only then will they follow you through.
Only then will you feel the elation, and the sense of accomplishment that comes at the end, learning to trust yourself.

One day at a time 🙌

Thank you to everyone who voted for Willow. We didn't win, but we did show that not every horse has to have a ridden career, and that Off the Trackers can turn their hooves to just about anything!
And Willow will always be a star in my eyes. 🥰

We’ve been overwhelmed by the incredible stories shared in this year’s “Where Are They Now” competition, and while they’re all champions in our eyes, there can only be one winner…. CONGRATULATIONS SHAQUERO!!

Hey Everyone,
Willow is a finalist in the Thoroughcare SA Where are they now? competition.
Please vote for her via the link! 🤩

We received so many nominations for thoroughbreds who are so clearly loved and cared for after racing, and choosing only four finalists for our Where Are They Now Competition was challenging.

Nonetheless, we are excited to share our finalists, who we believe exemplify a variety of the many post-racing paths that horses can follow.

Congratulations to our finalists:
💚Emmooki Street "Mooki"
💚Shaquero "KOA"
💚Dark Pools "Willow"
💚Manhatten Times "Manny"

It has been a privilege to work through our program with Jami and her girls over the past month or so. Today was our last session for now, with lots of important takeaways on communication, active listening and teamwork.
Thanks girls!

A while back I was asked to donate a free EAL session as part of a prize package. Casey was the lucky winner, and today she and her friend Steffi, along with their boys, joined us for an Equine Olympics experience! Our focus was on teamwork and sportsmanship, and some fun.
There were some great moments for the team when they were all focused on the same goal, and everyone was clear what was happening. Willow was sure to let them know when they weren't! 😉🙂
