Imagine...
​Being able to slow down. Breathe deeply. Have the space to reconnect with yourself and your horse. And have no other place to be other than with each other.
The Grounded Partnership Clinic is a two-day immersive experience, designed for horse owners who are ready to step back from what doesn't serve them, and explore what's really important.
​
Not perfection, pressure, or performance. But getting to know each other for who you really are, sharing quality time together, and nourishing your relationship that will shape it for years to come.
This is why this experience blends empowering personal coaching and development with connection focused exercises and relationship based horsemanship. ​
​​​​
Because whether you are feeling disconnected, anxious, stuck, overwhelmed...
​
Or simply longing for a deeper partnership that brings you both safety and joy.​
​
You can come as you are... and enjoy a soft landing space for both you and your horse to reconnect and come away feeling more alive, aligned, and closer than ever before.
All are welcome. Regardless of discipline, background, or experience.
​
What to expect:
You and your horse are like tuning forks - constantly co-regulating and responding to each other. In busy daily life, there’s rarely space to pause, reset, and retune.
That’s why the first day is horseless: it’s all about YOU.
The second day is all about coming together, bringing your horse into the safety you've created, so they can naturally flourish alongside you.

Day 1: Human Day (10-5pm)
A day focused on growth, to ground and regulate you.
​
Begin with a warming cup of tea and connect with like-minded horse people, overlooking the beautiful fields around you whilst being serenaded by the birds singing. Take a moment to stretch and shake it off to arrive in your body for a weekend to remember.
Have open and insightful discussions about what you want to move forwards with, and unlock new perspectives in an insightful and empowering coaching session as a group. Chat about the the nervous system in a way that simply makes sense and explore tools that support you to grow emotional regulation and grounding with and away from your horse.
​
Enjoy a hot veggie lunch and breathe in the peace, not needing to be anywhere else but where you are.
​
After lunch, step into your horse's hooves with a perspective shifting empathy session. Leading and being lead to uncover new feedback about how you can develop as a horsewoman: body language, understanding and communication.
Soak this in with a beautiful Mindful Movement with Ruth from Kind Heart Yoga. Where you connect with your balance, presence and strength.

You can both enjoy a relaxed environment to explore, play, and be guided when it is helpful for you. And be encouraged to fully advocate for your horse, practicing only what feels right for you.
​

​
Meet your horse where they are at, and discover how to support them with what they need in each moment.

​
Understand your horse’s responses more deeply and improve communication, and create a calmer, more connected partnership from the ground up.

Relish in each other's company, with moments of just 'being'. Soaking in the quality time together and feeling everything else melt away.
