Experience the wild, untamed spirit of your equine companion
Equine Encounters in Bristol
Be led by the wild and intuition, feeling and presence. Breath and space. Horses have always been at her side, her name Rosamond meaning “Rose” in latin but also ‘Horse Protection”.
Fay mostly works on the ground with horses, to create a space of trust and companionship through horsemanship training. Horses have brought deep integral experiences to Fay that she explores in her life of ceremony and yoga. For Fay horses bring the consideration of the wildness of untamed spirit, the beauty of presence, patience, unconditional love, acceptance, and sadly death, therefore the vividness of life also.
What to expect ?
Fay will organise a consultation with you on the phone or on zoom call to establish how she can tailor your equine experience to best meet you needs.
Next would be the introduction of you and the horse.
What follows from there will take time, knowing the horse physically, emotionally and mentally will help you advanced your understanding of yourself and your own behaviour. This knowledge and training acquire will over time help you to respond, problem solve quickly and have good respectful, responsible actions around horses. This will require you to cultivate patience, perseverance and deep love for yourself to take the next step into basic handling of the horse.
Basic handling will include leading, grooming, picking out feet and arranging halters, tying up and clearing stable. This could all happening in the first session; but it’s more about how it happens. Horsemanship is a great tool for life and relationships, to be present and have the capacity to let the moment unfold without force or mis-communication. More advanced horse handling leads to sitting on the horse, riding and working with the horse on the ground (applying gentle pressure with your body to give direction) which is released as soon as the horse responds. This will include actions like walking, stopping, and pace of movement.
A lifelong enriching experience, whether your hoping to ride, own your own horse or simply interact with this majestic spirit to show you how deeply profound yours is.
