Hi, I'm Cat Roy-Stanley
Equestrian Relationship Coach | Personal & Professional Coach | Equine Body Worker | BSc Psychology | Teacher
But above all, I’m a horse mum and a dedicated horse person.
I support passionate horse owners to rediscover the joy in their relationship with their horse, and feel at home within themselves. Helping them move beyond that uneasy feeling, and to find a way forward that feels aligned, ethical, and true to both of them.
​
Blending psychology, coaching, and hands-on equine work, I bring together both professional expertise and lived experience to support you in a way that feels practical, compassionate, and deeply understanding.
​
Together, we build the knowledge, trust, and connection needed to step out of the boxes that keep you stuck, honour what makes you and your horse unique, and grow a secure and healthy relationship that sets you up for everything you do.
​
So you can feel confident you’re putting your horse first, listening and understanding them—without the pressure to be anything other than yourself.
​
Because when that happens, you and your horse can feel at home together, free to enjoy your journey-whatever it looks like.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me getting lost in the Welsh hills (literally) or living this work with my two cobs, Indi & Jack, through our shared journey in care, training, and connection.
​
I am based in Mid Wales, and travel to in person sessions.
I regularly visit Northampton and Sussex to visit my client base.
​
If you are searching for a different way - you are not alone.
I began my path with horses much like most passionate horse people. Spending Saturdays mucking out for a 30 minute ride, flapping my legs and pulling my reins. Secretly sneaking into the horse's stable away from the judgemental eye of others, to hang out, and enjoy quiet undemanding moments.
​​​​
So naturally, I begged borrowed and stole to got my first pony at 16. Despite the dream of riding into the sunset together, I became his worst nightmare. Not because I didn't care, or love him - but because I didn't have the resources, knowledge or tools to understand him - or myself. I would end every session feeling more lost and frustrated than when we started. I felt out of answers, and losing hope fast.
​
It wasn't until I started understanding relationship... that things began to change.
Meet the herd
Indi
CEO of the herd.

She is my guide, continuously supporting me to live what I teach. She is beautiful, in tune, honest and loves walking, adventuring. She brings a really grounded mare energy to the herd.
Jack
Joker and empath of the herd
Jack and I have been in each others lives for 5 years. He began as my trusty Devon adventure partner as we ran retreats, and now he is a part of the herd. He came to Wales in 2025. He puts heart into everything he does and feels the world very deeply.
