Helping people and horses move forward
Coaching • Horsemanship • Recovery
I’m Terry Cullen — a Development Coach, Addiction Recovery Coach and Equine Behaviourist.
I help adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected, and I help horses who are anxious, confused or acting out.
My work is honest, quiet and practical.
No wishy-washy language, no pressure.
Just clear communication, horsemanship, and space to figure things out.
Services

Rider Confidence & Horsemanship
Helping riders rebuild confidence, regulate emotions and connect better with their horse.
Why horses?
Horses respond to how we really show up — not the mask we wear.
They give immediate, honest feedback.
They show our patterns, our reactions, our fears and our strengths.
They’re prey animals with a deeply tuned nervous system.
They pick up changes in breathing, muscle tension, intention and energy long before we speak — and they respond to our internal state in real time.
This is essentially biofeedback.
The horse reflects what’s happening in our nervous system: stress, calm, clarity, confusion, leadership, hesitation.
Because horses operate from the limbic system — the emotional and relational part of the brain — they can co-regulate with us.
When we slow down and become clearer, they settle too.
This is why working with horses can shift confidence, emotional regulation, communication and leadership so quickly.
They show us what’s actually going on, without judgement or agenda.
