A Different Way to Connect with Horses
For a long time, we searched for our place in the equestrian world.
Not for lack of commitment, but because we felt out of sync.
Through our experiences in France, Quebec, and Iceland, across classical riding, Western, horsemanship, and Icelandic riding, we learned, tested, applied…
and still felt misaligned.
Many approaches required us to set aside our feelings, follow rigid frameworks, or accept some constraints, sometimes subtle, for both horse and human.
Over time, one truth became clear: when a relationship demands forcing, struggling, or self-denial, it’s not a relationship. It’s an ordeal.
The Turning Point : Finally Listening to What No Longer Wanted to Be Silent
For years, we were told to "be firmer," to "show who’s in charge," to "push through."
But every time we followed that path, it clashed with what felt right.
Results might come, sometimes, but at the cost of tension, doubt, and deep inner discomfort.
One day, riding Dögg, exhaustion took over.
Exhaustion from struggling.
Exhaustion from doubting.
Exhaustion from pretending everything was fine.
That day, the decision was simple and clear:
Either we found another way, aligned with who we were, or we stopped.
When we released the pressure, both internal and physical, the horse relaxed too.
The relationship became smoother, simpler, more serene.
We didn’t quit riding.
We changed our attitude: we decided to truly listen, to ourselves and to the horses.
Shifting Perspective: When a Horse Is No Longer a Problem to Solve
Ósk was often described as complicated, difficult, problematic.
She evaded every request, always seeming to "put up obstacles."
In reality, she never fully refused.
She observed.
She waited.
By taking the time to look differently, we realized the issue wasn’t a refusal of humans or their demands.
When we stopped trying to prevent her from evading, acting calmly without pressure or frustration, everything changed.
She waited.
She even seemed motivated.
The relationship settled.
Ósk didn’t want to be interchangeable.
She wanted to be chosen.
Seen. Recognized. Heard.
This experience marked a turning point: a horse isn’t a difficulty to correct, but a partner communicating.
Finding Deep Harmony to Earn the Horse’s Trust
With some horses, like Valíant, this understanding went even further.
With him, nothing worked unless we were fully present.
The slightest tension, the slightest inconsistency, immediately reflected in the relationship.
He led us to examine what we carried inside:
our fears, our intentions, our trust.
We understood that building a secure relationship doesn’t depend solely on what we do, but on who we are in the relationship.
By accompanying the horses, we transformed ourselves:
more self-assurance,
more clarity,
more stability.
It’s this posture, not a method, that durably changed our relationships with them.
The Strength of the Mother-Daughter Duo
We work as a pair, and this deeply shapes our approach.
Together, we step back more easily.
When one is caught in the moment, the other sees differently.
When one doubts, the other reminds us of the path taken.
When something blocks, the other sometimes perceives what’s missed.
Many horses have shown us how essential human consistency is to the relationship.
And sometimes, a kind external perspective is needed to rediscover it.
This mirror effect, without judgment, but with honesty, we live it between us…
This dynamic is what we also bring to our support.
Today : Why We Guide
Today, we support those who love their horse but doubt:
those who feel out of sync,
who no longer want to force themselves or their horse,
or who seek a simpler, fairer relationship.
Our coaching isn’t based on a method to apply or ready-made recipes.
It’s based on :
listening to both human and horse,
understanding the relationship as a whole,
a safe, non-judgmental, pressure-free environment,respect for each individual’s pace.
We believe a serene and lasting relationship is built when humans and horses can understand and evolve together, without constraint.
This is the approach we share today.
Supporting, without judgment or pressure, humans and horses in understanding and evolving together, in a respectful, conscious, and unconstrained relationship.
