Rider confidence starts with the breath. Join me as we dive into how breathwork affects your body’s stress response, balance, and focus — and why mastering your breathing might just be the most powerful riding tool you have.

Did you know your horse can sense your energy before you even touch the reins? In this video, I talk about how horses pick up on both our positive and negative emotions — and how that affects their own behaviour and connection with us. 🐴💫

I’ll also guide you through a simple breathing exercise you can use to calm your energy, find balance, and create a more relaxed partnership with your horse.

Whether you’re feeling nervous, frustrated, or just want to deepen your bond, this video will help you and your horse feel more in sync — mind, body, and energy.

🌿 Take a deep breath, join me, and let’s create calm together.

When we took Toby on loan, I had no idea he would completely change the way I looked at riding, energy, and confidence. 🐴✨

In this video, I’m sharing the story of how Toby helped me reconnect with my own confidence — and inspired me to start Align & Advance, where I now help other riders rebuild their self-belief, overcome nerves, and rediscover joy in the saddle.

If you’ve ever lost your confidence after a fall, or found yourself second-guessing your riding, this one’s for you 💫

🌿 What you’ll hear in this video:

• How Toby helped me see the power of energy and connection

• Why mindset is the missing piece for so many riders

• The worry I felt about being nervous to ride for the first time in my life

So many riders are told to “just be brave” — to push through fear and get on with it. But that’s not what riding should feel like. In this episode, I talk about why bravery and confidence aren’t the same thing, and how learning to trust yourself (and your horse) changes everything. No pressure, no fear — just calm, joyful connection in the saddle. 🌿🐴✨

Have you ever wondered how energy healing could help your horse feel calmer, happier, and more in tune with you? In this episode, we’re diving into the world of Equine Reiki — a gentle, non-invasive practice that supports your horse’s physical, emotional, and energetic balance.

You’ll discover what Equine Reiki is, how it works, and the many ways it can benefit horses of all ages and temperaments. We’ll explore how this beautiful approach can ease tension, promote relaxation, and strengthen the bond between you and your horse.

Whether your horse is recovering from stress, adjusting to a new environment, or simply deserves a little extra care, this episode will help you understand how Reiki can bring harmony and healing to your partnership.
