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.

"...The result is an empowered, authentic and incredibly non-judgemental..."

​

"...I’ve never known an approach quite like this, and the result is an empowered, authentic and incredibly non-judgemental. I can’t recommend Cat’s work highly enough"

​

"...She is a soft, open, grounded and attuned horsewoman...

 

"Cat helps humans and horses be more authentically themselves, allowing them to communicate and connect with each other on a whole new level. She is a soft, open, grounded and attuned horsewoman who will honour the horse and their unique experiences, and always go at the pace they need her to."

"...Fascinating insights to my work with my horses..."

​

"...All of the workshops brought fascinating insights to my work with my horses, and together we went further

 than I could have possibly dreamed of at the start of the year. Cat doesn’t have a technique that she makes everyone follow - instead, she provides us with resources and supports us in weaving them into our practice however feels right for us and our horses."

"...She helped spin my life around in the best possible way..."

 

"...I had a feeling of being ‘stuck’ and unable to move forwards in certain areas of my life. I was introduced to Cat and it straight away felt like she understood me and quite honestly helped spin my life around in the best possible way."

"...more sure in myself, and calmer overall..."

​

"...I've also grown noticeably to those around me

who tell me I seem much more sure in myself, and calmer overall.  I was dealing with a lot of fear and anxiety around horses at the beginning of the year, which was spilling over from my everyday life. Getting to understand my nervous system and learning how to become friends with it has been such a powerful tool that I can take with me wherever I am."

 "...I can advocate for him when I feel pressure from others..."

 

"This summer we went out and smashed all our goals together, but at the end of it all, I can come back to him and see just how far we have come in all the small ways that really matter too - we had our first lay down in the stable together,

 we met each other in conversation for the first time,

 I can advocate for him when I feel pressure from others"
