It will be 46 here today so one of us will be home at all times today to keep an eye on everyone and top up/check waters, put out ice, hose downs if needed and extra electrolytes. Stay safe and keep cool! 😎

Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! 🎉🤩

Wishing you all a year of momentum, joy, abundance and well-lived moments ❤️🐎

I hope you find plenty of time to soak up the beauty and wonders of nature, to spend time with loved ones, to laugh and to do the things that fill your cup ✨

2025 was a year of many highs but also many lows, and I know I’m not alone in being relieved to say goodbye to this one 👋

It was amazing to step into running workshops again, this time sharing the beautiful space we call home and meeting many wonderful people 🥰
A massive thank you to Deb from Natural Flow Body, Mind & Soul for collaborating with me, putting so much behind the scenes work in, and generally being a friend and champion to me this year. Looking forward to more beautiful collaborations together in 2026 ❤️💫

I’ve also started a wonderful EFL program with Mannum Community College for a group of their students which is a dream I’ve had for a long time and I’m excited to be continuing and expanding it next year.

SA saw some fantastic clinicians this year, some of whom I missed but I was grateful to be able to attend David Landreville’s hoof trimming clinic in March, and proud of the two girls for attending as well, as well as Emotional Horsemanship by Lockie Phillips clinic in April, both of whom travelled across the world to deliver their knowledge to us locally.

Training wise I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training and dipped my toe into teaching in this space…more of that to come in 2026 🧘‍♀️
I also attended Emma Loftus Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy for Horses and Humans Level 1 Craniosacral course at Barbs beautiful property with an amazing group of women, all of whom are doing incredible things in the horse world. A big thanks to Emma for delivering this to us in SA and also a thank you for the workshop we delivered together in May 🥰

Next year will see me studying my equine sports massage certificate so I can continue to improve my knowledge and ability to work with horses, and hopefully incorporate that into my work as well.

We welcomed a flock of 5 chooks and 1 duck to Henwarts and it feels like they’ve been with us forever. They bring so much laughter and happiness to our lives as well as lots of poo 💩😂❤️
We also welcomed a new herd member Trojan who we are all getting to know but I have a feeling is going to be a superstar 🤩

On the other hand we had some goodbyes and a long and continuing battle with Merlin’s health. We thought we would be saying goodbye to him a few times this year but thankfully he is still with us for now.

For those that stuck through it all with us, thank you 🙏 and thank you to all of you for your support, whether through likes, comments, shares, attending workshops, and for your ongoing encouragement. I’ve made some amazing friends over this journey, and am blessed to say I made a few more this year 💕

I have lots of ideas to bring to life in 2026 and look forward to sharing them with you all in this upcoming 1 year and year of the fire horse 🔥

I hope you all set some powerful intentions to move you into 2026 with clarity, purpose and fresh direction. Wishing you all the very best for the New Year ✨

As we feel the new year drawing near, there is a slowing down. An awareness building but not yet realised.

It’s that slow inhalation before you push into movement with a strong exhalation, the pause before you make a decision, the quiet before the storm rolls in.

It’s the magic of beginning before it’s begun. The time where you sit with all the potential, the possibilities, the power that you have to choose what comes next and where you go with it. Not with urgency, but with presence.

It’s a potent and beautiful time to allow your mind to wander. To let it highlight the things that no longer serve you and begin to turn your mind to the things that you would like to focus on for the coming year, what you would like to see more of, what worked and didn’t work. Gently, without forcing or rushing. This time of year is for rest and renewal not bold action and drive.

This is a particularly potent year for this as we finish up a global 9 year in numerology and the year of the Snake in Chinese astrology begins to draw to a close as well. The snake year was all about shedding what we no longer need, finding truth and clarity, and preparing for forward momentum, while the 9 was about closing cycles, ready for a brand new 1 year while bringing the lessons and knowledge from previous cycles with us.

Let the cycle complete itself naturally and allow yourself to step through with clarity, alignment and confidence once it does ❤️🔥🐎

Merlin and Trojan saying 👋

Merlin just lights up when he see’s another Fjord and it was one of the reasons I wanted another ❤️
These two aren’t paddocked together yet as Merlin is still locked up on our flat surface with Matilda while Trojan settles into the big paddock with the rest of the herd but I’m hoping they can roam together soon🤞

24/12/2025

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🥰🎄
Eat lots, stay safe and enjoy the festivities!

Please note: none of our horses are stabled normally. They are separated for their morning feeds only 😁

As 2025 comes to a close I’d like to thank everyone for their support this year. I’ve connected with so many lovely new people in the horse world this year, and am always grateful for those that have been here for the long haul.

I’ve learnt so much, pushed out of my comfort zone, said goodbye to loved ones and welcomed new ones. It’s been a hectic rollercoaster ride but with plenty of beautiful highlights sprinkled throughout.

When I reflect on this year, it feels like it’s passed in the blink of an eye on one hand, and on the other, it’s taken as long as it took me to finish this wreath which was 2 years 😂🫠

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas🎄❤️

Very excited to announce our newest family member Rachem Trojan (paddock name Trojan) who is a 2 year old Fjord gelding 🥰

We drove over to Victoria to meet him just over a week ago and brought him back with us and I’ve been so incredibly impressed with how well he’s taken everything in his stride! It was a long trip for his very first float experience but he handled it like a seasoned pro and has settled in nicely with our herd, bar two, and quickly became best friends with little Freya (who wouldn’t though?!).

This guy is sweet, sensitive, but sensible, and loves cuddles. He’s already such an amazing horse, I can’t wait to see how the future unfolds for him ♥️

A very Happy Birthday to my favourite lady Allera 😍🎉
14 this year and this girl is aging like fine wine👌so proud of how far she’s come this past year and the horse she has become. Cannot wait to see what next year has in store for us together - lots more learning, growth and smashing goals for both of us hopefully!

18/12/2025

In my experience this goes for both horses and people. Once we come out of overwhelm the world opens up for us ❤️

Finishing off my deer medicine year with this sighting of a beautiful doe while we were hiking in the Grampians. She was just off the trail and happy for us to stay nearby while she grazed.
Deer have such a lovely soft energy and presence 🥰
