💜 In Loving Memory of Ches 💜

Today, with a very heavy heart, I want to honour a beautiful soul who touched our herd — and me — in the most quiet, powerful way.

A few weeks ago, a group of her closest friends organised for Ches to spend two hours here with my horses. She brushed them, stroked their faces, breathed with them… and they responded to her with the deepest calm and softness, as if they knew exactly what she carried.
It was gentle.
It was peaceful.
It was sacred.

Ches had a light about her — even through her pain — and seeing the way she connected with the horses was something I’ll never forget. There was grace in her presence, strength in her stillness, and an undeniable warmth that filled the space around her.

Her friends loved her fiercely.
Our herd held her gently.
And now she’s at peace. 💜

To her family and friends: thank you for allowing her to spend part of her journey here. It was an honour to give her that moment of connection, comfort, and love.

Run free now, beautiful Ches.
You will be remembered with so much tenderness. 🌿🐴✨

Young Australians are facing significant mental health challenges. One in five young people experiences mental illness, including anxiety, depression and substance abuse disorders.

A groundbreaking Victorian trial found that group-based ‘nature prescriptions’ – where health practitioners prescribe nature-based activities for patients – can deliver compelling results and value for money.

Conventional therapies can be costly and frequently involve long waiting periods. In contrast, spending time in nature offers an alternative that is affordable, widely accessible, and grounded in a long-standing truth: being in natural environments supports our well-being.

A CONNECTION THAT NEEDS NO WORDS ❤️🐎

They say there’s a special bond between a human and a horse — quiet, yet unbelievably strong.
It’s more than trust… it’s when two hearts beat in the same rhythm.

In this moment, words no longer matter.
There is only warmth, calmness, and the feeling of being understood without a single sound.

A horse can sense our pain, our joy, our deepest emotions.
And in return, it gives something priceless — pure, genuine love.

Sometimes, one gentle touch is enough…
for two souls to connect as if they’ve known each other for a thousand years.
