Horse Whispers~ August to November 2015
We have introduced a few new things to Arobridge in the past couple of months.
Alfie came to stay and he had a lot of fun with Lily and Freddie while they were here. They prepared him for the
School holiday programme.
Here is Alfie meeting our Arobridge horses.
Freddie and Alfie
The “Pathways”School Holiday Program (Hoofcamp) was over 2 weeks at the end of September and first week
of October. We had a good turnout and a lot of fun. Here are a few photos to show you what we learnt.

SAFETY
RESPECT
TRUST
CONNECTION
COMMITMENT
~ safety for ourselves and our horse
~ respect for ourselves, our horses and our friends
~Trust comes when we have both of the above
~Connection comes when the horse knows what we are asking
~ When we have all of the above we ride
We realise that to have a horse is “Way more than Riding”.
We consider the welfare of the horse is very important. The hooves need to be kept clean and trimmed.
The gear of the horse should be cared for, cleaned and put away. It is important to make sure they have hay
and/or feed and water available. Soft hands and patience help to have a happy ride.
Here are some of the photos from the “Pathways”School Holiday Pogramme (Hoofcamp)
Learning to saddle a horse
Water is great for clean hooves and legs
Cherokee is all groomed and ready to paint
Picking up the poop means a clean environment for your horse.
Balancing on the BIG ball helps with your core strength
Sam and Alfie had the same grin
We said farewell to Cherokee. He has now gone back home to live with his lovely family. Bye Cherokee thankyou for
coming we will miss you.
A whole year has passed since Cherokee came to stay…Time sure flies by when you are galloping on.
Alfie is staying with Caroline and comes back to Arobridge –Equine First when we have workshops or sessions where
he helps with the programmes.
We have also welcomed another horse into our Arobridge herd…He is Aladin. He comes from a friend of mine who
now lives in Holland. Aladin is a Quarterhorse Cross, about 10years old and once he has settled into Arobridge he will
be joining us in the “Pathways”Programmes.
The next workshop is “Pathways”Animal Communication and Connection on 14th & 15th November 2015.
By trusting our intuition and awareness , listening and understanding our own and the animals body language, using
the breath and rhythm of the earth and Universe, we are able to tune into other sentient beings and communicate with
them, enabling us to understand the important messages they have for us. Have you ever felt that feeling of “knowing”
when you are around an animal? Often a feeling or sensation of some happening :- “and then it happens”?
Heightened awareness will help us access that unique part of you, that will assist in listening through meditation and
visualization techniques. Horse Ancestors and All other animals offer ancient knowledge and wisdom and the messages
that they are awaiting to impart are often astounding to the analytical mind. Whereas authentic acceptance through
using intuition and heightened awareness feels comfortable in that knowledge and wisdom.
