Equestrian Perspective (Felicity Davies)

In this episode I chat with my lovely client, Natalie Roberts. She joined the group version of my Confident Equestrian Program (CEP) a bit over 3 months ago, and I invited her on the podcast to share her very inspiring journey. 

Together we talk about

-Why she joined CEP

- Her concerns about being worried about ruining horse, being worried about making a mistake on top of being a very anxious person

-How she grew up with horses in her life but was always told that horses aren't safe even though she loved them

-Getting her first pony as an adult

-Her experience inside CEP and how as she was helping her mare relax, she noticed that she was able to relax more too

-The plot twist she had during CEP with her mare and pony

-The importance of advocating for yourself

-Overcoming the fear of not being good enough and how her anxiety attacks have massively changed

-The power of a group community

-Her new horse (which wasn't what she ever anticipated she would get)

and so much more

In this episode, I chat with Angelica Hesselius from Reward Based Art Of Riding all about her journey with horses and the work she currently does today combining classical dressage and positive reinforcement training. 

If you are someone that is curious about dressage and/or positive reinforcement then I would highly suggest listening to this episode as Angelica offers some great insight into the realities behind training horses and what is possible.

Listen to hear about:

• How Angelica started riding and the various disciplines she was involved in
• How she chose her career path and allowed herself to pivot
• How she started dressage coaching predominately using negative reinforcement
• How she was introduced to positive reinforcement (R+) training 
• Her initial views on R+ and how she viewed it as a blended approach even what she was seeing might not have actually been that way
• Her experience trying to help a horse overcome a behavioural problem with R+ vs helping horses that didn't have any "problems"
• How having support made the process much smoother and helped her to fast track her progress
• Her experience with classical dressage and body awareness/seat/rider biomechanics
• Combining classical dressage and R+
• Her transition from teaching R- to R+
• How and why she chooses to start to work with horses at liberty first
• Developing observational skills and the importance of learning how to shape behaviours
• Advice for people that want to introduce R+ with their classical dressage training
• Her thoughts about online coaching
• Embracing your own individuality

and so much more!

In this episode, I chat with Confident Equestrian Program (CEP) graduate Kellie McCleave. Kellie joined CEP because she was having some trouble helping her very sensitive warmblood and wanted to pursue her dressage goals confidently and safely.

Little did she realise that her goals would actually change along the way as she started to connect with her horse on a deeper level. It has been a bit over a year since she completed the program, but she still utilises what she learnt each time she sees him, and some days are great, and some days he still struggles. The beautiful thing is that either way, Kellie can still appreciate the journey, not take it personally and help him through it. 

Listen to hear about:

• Her journey with horses before and after having children
• What she was like before she started CEP
• Lessons learnt throughout the program
• Navigating the up's and down's whilst trying to help her sensitive warmblood
• Her new goals and how differently she is viewing her time with her horse

and so much more. 

Happy listening :)

Today's episode is a little different as I was interviewed on The Equestrian Connection Podcast last month, and I wanted to share that conversation with you here. So often I am interviewing guests or recording solo episodes, so I think you will enjoy this conversation where I am on the other end of the questions this time. 

Listen in to hear all about my journey with horses and mindset, confidence building, going after careers you might desire, following what lights you up, trusting yourself and connecting with horses on a deeper level.

- My own journey with learning groundwork & growing my personal awareness

- What goes on for us at a physical, emotional and spiritual level when we are doing groundwork.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Gilly Ryan, who is a client of mine who just finished the last group round of my Confident Equestrian Program (CEP). I really wanted to have her on the podcast because her journey inside CEP was jam-packed, full of lessons and experiences to learn from. Not only did these lessons help her to strengthen her relationship with her horse, but they also helped her as a teacher with her students and also as a partner to her husband. 

Together we chat about:

• An overview of Gilly’s journey with horses from the start

• Her horse Yes and how he has taught her what a true yes and no means

• Her journey inside CEP

• Boundaries and holding space for our horses and how that ripples out into other areas of our life

• Navigating illness with loved ones and supporting them through it whilst honouring your own process

And so much more.

In this episode, I have a really interesting conversation with Josepha Guillaume who is an international horse trainer, instructor and author based in Belgium.

Together we talk about:

• How she started riding (riding wild ponies and being introduced to classical dressage)
• How she didn't envisage a career with horses in the beginning as she deeply felt the suffering of horses and others didn't understand how she was feeling
• Her transition to helping more people with their horses after she started collecting horses that needed help in her early 20's
• How she has always focussed on coaching in a way where you prioritise listening to your horse 
• How she and her husband started the first bitless tack shop in the world
• Experimenting working with horses without any tack
• Travelling all around the world to help horses to then transitioning her focus to helping trainers to create the most impact
• Letting the horse dictate the training to help them overcome their trauma/problems
• The challenges of following her own intuition and advocating for horses

If you own a shutdown horse, struggle to connect with your horse or feel anxious around them then you must listen to this episode!

I chat with Nicole Warwick who is a recent graduate of my Confident Equestrian Program (CEP). She joined the program because she was struggling with her horse, Captain. He is in his 20's and has spent most of his life as a riding school horse and Nicole really wanted to connect with him on a deeper level. However, traditional methods weren't working for her and she ended up feeling unsafe around him which caused her to seek out alternative methods which led her to clicker training and to join CEP.

Initially, she joined with a focus on helping her horse but soon realised that it was her mindset that needed to have the biggest change and oh my goodness did she gain some amazing lessons. 

Her horse is now so much more curious, he is much braver and he is showing a side of himself that quite possible no one has seen in the past. He has really taught Nicole the power of waiting and surrendering to the process. 

I just think it's the coolest thing ever to be able to change a horses life like that and whilst doing so changing your own life for the better in the process. 

So sit back, listen and enjoy!

In this episode, I chat with my beautiful friend and former Confident Equestrian Program (CEP) student. Bec Plunkett.

Bec was the very first person to join CEP in April 2020 and initially came to me because she had 3 young horses that she wanted to work with but was worried about making mistakes.

So often people are told to just send their horse to a trainer (particularly with young horses) but I think if you are committed enough and willing to put in the time to learn and implement your skills then you can definitely work with young horses.

But...it is definitely a journey!

Listen in to hear about:

• How Bec was introduced to horses and the main horses in her life
• How she was feeling before she joined CEP and the doubts she had
• The core lessons she learnt inside CEP and how she was able to view the horses differently
• The shifts that she noticed in each of her horses including one very unexpected change in her older mare
• What she has been able to achieve with the horses
• Her future plans and how her goals have shifted

and so much more.

Alison had years of experience with horses and always found it easy to spend time with them until she fell ill and battled chronic illness for five years. During the time she was ill, all she was able to do was feed her horses.

Then as she began to recover, she suddenly lost her heart horse which added to the fear she was feeling about spending more time with her horses. 

About a year later, she contacted me and joined the CEP to see if she could get back her joy with her horses again. 

Together we chat about all of the above plus an honest reflection of how her journey in CEP unfolded, and she found happiness with her horses again, which she never thought would be possible three months ago. 

Her journey is so inspiring. I am so happy for her and so grateful for the ability to be able to guide her on this journey.

In this episode, I respond to a question from someone in my social media community. She was having behavioural and health problems with her thoroughbred and was trying to decide if she should keep her horse at one barn or move her to another. Both barns had pros and cons and I felt like my response was worth sharing on the podcast as I know many people struggle in this situation. 

I hope this episode helps to give you some ideas on what to consider and how to make the best choice for you and your horse.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Rachel Pittman about all the layers involved when you transition from having a riding-focused partnership with your horse to a non-riding partnership. We both share our stories of navigating arthritis with our horses and the things that came up for us and our horses as we were forced to shift goals with them.

If you are someone who isn't riding your horse or is contemplating not riding your horse then I think you will get a lot out of this episode and realise that you aren't alone. But, you can get through this and it will all be more than ok.

So, she decided to join The Confident Equestrian Program and holy moly; things have changed so much for her!

In the past, I have forced horses to do things. I have lunged horses for hours, used tack that didn't fit, used tongue ties, used earplugs, let people hit my horses, used draw reins, yanked, kicked and felt let down by my horses 'poor' behaviour. 

I wanted to share some of these experiences with you all and explain how I would mitigate them from happening now. Because I can't go back in time and change what I did, I might be able to help someone who listens to realise that there is a better way to work through these situations.

I genuinely believe that when these things happened, I was doing the best I could with the knowledge I had, and so were those around me. My intentions were good, and I loved my horses so much, I just didn't know of another way. 

I hope that this episode makes you feel not so alone and inspires you to think outside the box and realise that you can help your horse through any situation you encounter.

In this episode, I chat with Confident Equestrian Program (CEP) graduate Cassie. She has a background in psychology and is a dog trainer who predominately uses positive reinforcement, but before she joined CEP, she struggled to find a method of reinforcement that felt right to her to use with her horse. 

Together we discuss:

- How she was able to find and accept a method of reinforcement that works well for her quiet but very foody Clydie x, Oakie

- Her concerns about using negative reinforcement and desensitising and what her views are on that now

- The struggles she was facing as someone who wants to use both positive and light negative reinforcement with her horse and the perceived judgement that can come from that

- How she has been able to set Oakie up for success and prioritise their relationship whilst progressing with their training goals

- Her journey towards trusting herself and realising that she is the expert of her horse

- Her thoughts about CEP

and so much more.

Overcoming chronic anxiety without medication, nervous system support, inner child work, anxiety truths, the impact of coregulation, cultivating safety, and embodied wisdom are themes that come to mind as I reflect on this beautiful conversation with my good friend, Emiscah Rose. 

Emiscah is an incredible Anxiety Mentor who knows exactly how to support those with chronic anxiety to come out on the other side and live an incredibly fulfilled life. She has walked this path, and her clients reap the rewards of her embodied wisdom and deeply caring nature.

I touch on

• Sometimes you will just have a bad horse day
• If your horse doesn't respond in a positive way it doesn't mean that you are necessarily doing the wrong thing
• You cant expect your horse to be 100% happy all the time, learning is stressful and it's sometimes ok to encourage them through some moments if they need a helping hand to realise that they CAN do it 
• Sometimes we will have to do things with our horses that they dont like
• How important preparation is to avoid forcing our horses through things

Then I finish with a tapping all about navigating the ups and downs with horses.

Happy listening <3

In this episode, I chat with one of my wonderful Confident Equestrian Program (CEP) graduates, Amy Bianchi. She is a mum of 3, an Earth Energy Guide, and she joined CEP to help her daughter's pony feel more confident and expand her skills. 

Together we chat about:

• How she was able to apply her own medicine to her horse training
• The mindset shifts she made to allow her to follow her feel
• Balancing her kid's expectations of wanting to do things with the horses whilst prioritising the horse's confidence levels
• How her goals have shifted completely now that she is viewing things through a new lens
• How much stronger her connection is with Milo, her daughter's pony
• The process of trialling a horse for herself and realising she wanted something different
• Being ok with where you are at and how to view busy weeks where you may not have the time or energy to train the horses

and so much more.

This episode will help you logically understand the exhausting negative thoughts that might loop inside your head that are affecting your relationship with your horse.

Often there is one side of us that feels really capable but then there is a fear side of us that can doubt everything. You might feel like you are not good enough, you worry about ruining your horse, you question everything, you worry about what others think and ultimately you constantly beat yourself up.

If this is you I just want to let you know that you are not alone and I completely understand what you're going through.

Inside this episode, I dive deeper into my own healing journey from not liking myself to developing compassion for myself and even loving myself.

I also touch on the modalities I have used in my journey that have helped me make logical sense of my thoughts so I can let them go including:

• Talk therapy
• Reading lots of self-development books
• Manifestation 
• Human design
• Astrology
• Inner child work
• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
• Journaling
• EFT
• Forgiveness work

Plus I dive into how I help my clients heal and how it really goes hand in hand with improving their relationship with their horses., because if you can logically understand yourself and have compassion for what you have been through then you can be a lot kinder to yourself and everyone around you (including your horse).

In this episode, I share 7 stories about 7 incredible horses I have had the pleasure of owning and some of the many lessons they have taught me. 

• Muffy, my first pony, who I absolutely adored

• Shorty, my second horse who went from being sensitive, hot and ‘snobby to revealing his true self as the kindest, sweetest soul once I knew how to listen to him

• Max, my third horse, who I tried to compete, but he found the pressure too much

• George, my fourth horse, who I got as a yearling. I eventually sent to a trainer and navigated some challenges from there.

• Bruce, my fifth horse who I competed, navigated injuries and went on a big horsemanship journey with

• Frank, my sixth horse, who I had for a short time and I realised I didn't have the time to give him that he needed

• Lily, my seventh horse, who I have started under saddle in a slow, compassionate way and she is freaking awesome

In this episode, Dr Tracy Rainwaters and I have a open conversation about how to navigate the loss of an animal before, during and after their passing based on our experiences so far. 

For those who haven't heard Tracy on the podcast before, she is a Shaman, Animal Communicator, Animal Chiropractor, Energy Healer and just an incredible human being. I am so grateful to have had this discussion with her because the lessons she shares about animals passing is not only practical, but it is deeply healing because she approaches it from all angles. She connects with the animal before it happens (if she can), she connects with other herd members before, during and after and also shares her experience grieving the loss of an animal after losing her mare Tina only a few weeks ago. 

I also share some of my experiences around losing animals in the past, and after talking with Tracy, I now have some more knowledge about how to make that experience as smooth as possible for all parties involved. 

I am sure you will feel a similar way after you listen to this episode too.

In this episode, Dr. Tracy Rainwaters and I chat about how to navigate your horsemanship journey and learn to trust what feels right for you and your horse, regardless of the type of training you are doing.

It can be very overwhelming when you start learning about new ways of doing things and we both have experienced our fair share of self-judgment and confusion on our journey.

So to help you feel a bit less alone and confused on your journey we chat about:

• Reconnecting to what feels right to you and your horse regardless of what you think you 'should do'
• Not making how you feel wrong and accepting the reality that there are so many ways of working with horses in a compassionate way
• My takeaways from the shamanic healing session Tracy did with my horse Bruce
• Do horses like us? Tracy discusses her findings from the many interactions and readings she has done with horses
• Labels around horses and how that plays a huge part in our energy and how the horse responds to us
• A horses energy field and what they can pick up on
• Being open enough to learn from our horses and realise that they have so much to share with us and act as a guide on our own journey
• Setting boundaries with horses
• How Tracy communicates with animals and what that looks like

and so much more!

In 2017 I lacked confidence, sucked at groundwork, didn't have great relationships with my horses, had no idea what I wanted to do with my life (or so I told myself) and had some big eye-opening experiences.

Now in 2023, I have a 6 figure equestrian business, have great relationships with my horses, empower equestrians all over the world, am engaged and open to receiving everything I desire and more. 

Listen in to hear about some of the eras I moved through to have this transformation and lessons learned along the way.

In this episode, I respond to a message that was sent to me from a woman wanting to overcome her perfectionism so she can enjoy her time with her horses. 

I talk through ways that anyone can:

• Understand their perfectionistic tendencies
• Reflect on why they focus more on mistakes vs things that went well
• Work through the fears that they are having on both a subconscious and a conscious level
• Understand the part of themselves that doesn't feel good enough even though another part of themselves does feel good enough

And the next steps to take.

In this episode, I have a beautiful conversation with my amazing friend Shadya Karawi Name about how we can get out of our own way and start flowing with life!

Shadya is a Spiritual Mentor from Barcelona who inspires, expands and transforms the lives of thousands of people all around the globe. To do this she uses an intuitive combination of astrology, channelling, psychology, tapping and family constellations so they can let go of whatever holding them back in their life so they can step into the highest, most magical version of themselves. 

I met (and manifested) Shadya just under a year ago and she is my go-to person to help me reframe, shift and celebrate anything that is coming up for me in my life. Even though we have never physically met we are totally best friends and she is super gifted at what she does!

Together we have a conversation about:

• How to navigate new beginnings in life and with our horses
• How we can understand our behaviour through connecting to our inner child
• How we can slow down and be present in our lives
• What it means to be brave and how we can use this to cultivate our dream life and relationships
• How to reframe worrying about what others think of us
• Navigating guilt and allowing ourselves to move on
• Taking responsibility for our own lives and navigating triggers with ease

Plus so much more.

Whilst Shadya doesn't have horses physically in her life everything we speak about is directly applicable to any area of our life including what we are doing with our horses. Because if we can become our happiest, most authentic versions of ourselves then that's when our horses truly shine.

- Prioritising the question "how can I help you?"

Early on in Carolyn's journey with her young Standardbred Boomer she intuitively knew that something wasn't quite right (despite what others were saying). With Boomers guidance he ushered her toward empowering herself which ultimately led her to advocating for him, learning a lot along the way, starting her own business and navigating huge shifts in their relationship. 

Through this conversation Carolyn vulnerably shares with grace and gratidude about her journey guided by Boomer whilst he was still in his physical body and now in spirit form. 

Thank you Boomer for being such a selfless and powerful soul.

This episode is unlike any transformation I have shared on the podcast before because you get to hear it unfold in real-time and holy moly is it cool to witness!

My lovely client and guest for today's episode is Danielle Crowell. I met Danielle a few weeks ago as she interviewed me for an episode on The Equestrian Connection Podcast by We Horse (you can find the link to that episode below).

During our conversation, she shared with me that she had some mindset blocks that held her back from doing more with her horses, so I reached out and asked if she would be interested in joining me for a podcast episode and a mindset coaching session all in one. So, that is what this episode is all about.

You'll hear about:

• How Danielle was struggling with not feeling good enough, and she would often worry about what other people thought of what she was doing with her horses. 
• Her journey with horses and how her past had shaped these thoughts and patterns
• How she felt directly after her 1 on 1 mindset session with me
• How she felt 2 weeks after our 1 on 1 mindset session (this part will blow your mind)
• What she would say to someone who was feeling stuck like she was

I am so happy to bring you this episode today as I feel that it is a conversation that isn't openly shared enough! Join me as I chat with my past client, Sarah about how she went from feeling crippled with fear trying to ride outside of the arena to riding around a huge paddock and enjoying herself!

Before Sarah contacted me she had spent 1 year trying to force herself to ride out of the arena but was only able to progress 10 meters in that time. People would tell her to just push through the fear and keep going but that strategy just wasn't working.

She then contacted me and 3 private mindset sessions later she was able to get to the root cause of her anxiety, reframe it and make progress riding out of the arena. Within a very short period of time, she was riding around a huge paddock and now she catches herself realising how much she is enjoying it.

It honestly makes me SO HAPPY that she is able to enjoy her horse and let go of the debilitating fear that she was holding on to and I hope her honest story inspires you to show you what is possible and makes you feel not so alone. 

If you would like some support on your journey then I would love to help you. Message me on Instagram @felicitydavies_

In this episode, I chat with Celeste-Leilani Lazaris from The Travelling Horse Witch. Celeste heals both horses and humans using bodywork, breathwork and mindset - for more on this check out episode 11 of the podcast.

In our last podcast episode, Celeste touched on the importance of the thoracic sling and how releasing any nerve pain from this area and slowly teaching horses to carry themselves correctly is having a huge impact on the horses she is working on.

She has also shared many before and after posts and informational posts on her social media accounts which outlined how important this work is but it led me to ask her...ok this is great but how can we help our horses build up their front end?

Which brings me to this episode of the podcast! Together we have a conversation about traditional horse training and how the focus is predominately on the topline and the hindquarter which often fails to build up the chest and abdominals which is responsible for our horses being able to really carry themselves correctly.

Celeste talks about what the thoracic sling is, the findings she is seeing in the many horses she is working on, how we can start to really build our horses front end up and what our horses should feel like.

In this episode, I had a great conversation with fellow podcast host, Alexa Linton. Alexa hosts the Whole Horse Podcast and is an Equine Sports Therapist, Energy Medicine Practitioner, Animal Intuitive, an author and is studying Osteopathy!

Together we chat about:

• How she started riding and the journey to get her first horse in her early 20's
• Her introduction to communicating with animals and some of the synchronistic experiences she had
• The different styles of horsemanship she tried with her mare Diva and some of the lessons she learnt along the way
• A glimpse into her path to self-acceptance as a super-sensitive person
• Viewing behaviour as feedback and listening to our horse
• The types of work she offers both in-person and online (such as energy work, assistance during different life transitions and her whole horse apprenticeship)

and so much more!

It was really nice to hear about how Alexa has navigated life so far as a very sensitive person and her transition from ignoring that side of herself to fully accepting it, even if that path wasn't the smoothest.

Hey hey,

To celebrate my 30th trip around the sun I wanted to share 30 lessons with you all that I have learnt and embodying or working towards embody (because let's face it, no one is perfect). The lessons shared are broad and personal development based but can be applied to any area of your life (including horses)....because let's face it horses are a huge self-development journey.

Happy listening :)
