A grounded, honest approach

I combine 20+ years of horsemanship and equine behaviour work with qualified Development Coaching and Addiction Recovery Coaching.
I don’t do wishy-washy.
I work with people and horses exactly where they are — quietly, honestly and with clarity.

Horses taught me how to slow down, regulate myself, communicate without anger, and rebuild confidence. That’s the same path I guide people and horses along today.

Coaching With Horses

These sessions are for adults who want clarity, confidence, recovery or a different way of dealing with life.

Who it helps:
• people with anxiety, stress or overwhelm
• those in addiction recovery or wanting change
• adults carrying anger, shame, trauma or low confidence
• anyone feeling stuck or lost
• riders who want emotional regulation or connection on the ground before riding

You don’t need any horse experience.
Horses respond to how we’re actually showing up — not the mask we wear.
That honesty is where change begins.

What happens in a session:
• 90 minutes in a quiet yard with a small herd
• on-the-ground work: grooming, leading, observing, groundwork
• coaching woven through everything we do
• we slow down, notice patterns, link them to your life
• practical, grounded, confidential

Fee:
€160 for 90 minutes
Revolut or bank transfer on booking.

Horse Behaviour & Training

Common issues I work with:
• hard to catch, lead or handle
• napping, spinning, planting
• loading/travel issues
• bucking, rearing, rushing
• anxiety, tension, loss of trust
• riders losing confidence

My approach:
Quiet, non-violent, clear.
I look at the root of the behaviour — fear, confusion, pain or unclear communication — and rebuild the foundation from the ground up.
Where possible, you are involved so the progress lasts.

Process:

  1. We have a quick chat about what’s happening

  2. I see the horse at Foxborough House (or by arrangement at your yard)

  3. You get a clear plan to follow

I had a number of session at Stable Minds and left with a very clear answer I’d been struggling with for years. I felt calm and empowered. Terry has a way of slowing everything down that makes you see yourself differently.
