What is an Equestrian Relationship Coach?

Cat_Roy-Stanley024_.jpg

An Equestrian Relationship Coach (ERC) is an emerging professional service role in the horse world, that works with the whole relationship between horse and human.
​​
- They are a training instructor but not just an instructor.
- A body worker but not just a body worker.
- A personal coach but not just a personal coach.
 
An ERC supports each relationship component so that passionate horse people can get unstuck and bring their dreams with their horses out of the clouds and onto the ground. 

I do this by offering safe, private, non judgemental and supportive spaces to balance each component of your relationship: you, your horse and your partnership together. feel at home in each others company and free to be unapologetically yourselves.

​
These spaces include
 
- 1-2-1 & Group Sessions
- Programmes
- Clinics
- Retreats
- Events
- Workshops
- Professional Training

Together we will explore what's really going on underneath the surface, what tools, knowledge and
resources you need. To enable you to move away from what no longer feels right, and finally step into a way forwards that feels aligned, ethical, true and evolves with you.

"...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"
