This picture really tells many stories and dispels the myth that the horse world nowadays is full of mean, judgmental people. It’s not. I have been running horse camps for riders for 17 years, long before they became as popular as they are now. This picture was taken at my 50th camp. A camp full of lovely, supportive horse people. On this day, three riders said to me, “Would you like to ride my horse?” The answers were, of course,...]]></description><link>https://www.equineexperiences.co.uk/post/every-picture-tells-a-story</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a983353878d86a9792e99f6</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:57:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b334e4_3597945cd6f3470d87b27ac6fdab5a3c~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janet Wilson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do you start your day?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Does it really matter, yes more than you think. I hear you. I know exactly how it feels to wake up with that immediate weight on your chest. Before your feet even hit the floor, your mind is already racing through the "to-do" list, the "what-ifs," and the pressure of everything you have to do. It’s tempting to reach for your phone, isn't it? You think you're just checking the time or the weather, but five minutes later, you’re scrolling through someone else's highlight reel or reacting to an...]]></description><link>https://www.equineexperiences.co.uk/post/how-do-you-start-your-day-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a983353878d86a9792e99f7</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:41:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b334e4_e4475bc163db4b6b8e615320e8ad8a28~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janet Wilson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mindfulness]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mindfulness is often misunderstood as something soft, slow, or reserved for people who have hours to sit cross-legged in silence. In reality, it is far more practical than that. Mindfulness is the simple, deliberate act of paying attention to what is happening right now, without judgment. It is noticing your thoughts, your feelings, and your surroundings as they are, rather than getting swept up in what has already happened or what might happen next. It brings you back from the noise in your...]]></description><link>https://www.equineexperiences.co.uk/post/mindfulness</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a983353878d86a9792e99f0</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:00:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b334e4_4b316215e3ad4792a2323118aef5ca06~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_592,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janet Wilson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[You Chose How You Think!]]></title><description><![CDATA[I know, hear me out before you judge this statement one way or another. If you choose your actions, words and thoughts, you are in control. You’re sitting at the cause. If you don’t choose your actions, words and thoughts, you’re sitting at the effect. Sitting at effect means you have no control; you're totally powerless to change anything. The first thing I establish, when working with clients, is to get them sitting at the cause.

The idea links closely to what is often called the morphogenic field. In simple terms, this refers to the collective unconscious. The shared patterns, expectations, emotional states and unspoken rules that shape how we think, feel and behave before we ever make a conscious choice. We feel it all the time. You can walk into a yard, a room or...]]></description><link>https://www.equineexperiences.co.uk/post/collective-behaviour-and-why-it-matters-more-than-we-think</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a983353878d86a9792e99f9</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:55:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b334e4_529ffd7202734e1ea92a9043d21cc843~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_752,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janet Wilson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear of Being Judged]]></title><description><![CDATA[Worried about people watching you? We Know the horse world can be full of opinions. Strong ones. Often delivered with the confidence of someone who once read half a Facebook comment thread. We judge how people ride. How they train. How often they ride. What they feed, rug, jump, hack, rest, compete, or choose not to do. And here is the uncomfortable bit. We are not just judged. We judge too. Often without meaning to. Often without noticing.

That everyone else seems to have it figured out except you? That you will never feel confident doing the thing you really want to do because your brain finds reasons not to the moment you even think about it? That is a limiting belief. It might show up as a voice in your head or just a heavy feeling in your body. Either way, it is your subconscious mind doing what it thinks is its job. So how do we pick up limiting beliefs in the first place, and...]]></description><link>https://www.equineexperiences.co.uk/post/limiting-beleifs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a983353878d86a9792e99f2</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:20:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b334e4_d77fb045892a409dadf9531fda91c3bb~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_752,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janet Wilson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not Good Enough?]]></title><description><![CDATA[How to control that inner voice.]]></description><link>https://www.equineexperiences.co.uk/post/not-good-enough</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a983353878d86a9792e99f1</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2025 08:32:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b334e4_acdcb78c61ec44c68c820742e0063ae7~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_940,h_705,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Janet Wilson</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What does the RAS do for you?]]></title><description><![CDATA[What is the RAS? Ever wondered why your mind sometimes seems to have a mind of its own? Meet your RAS – your Reticular Activating System. It’s like the bouncer on a nightclub door, deciding who gets in and who doesn’t. Your RAS is the bouncer of your mind – it chooses what gets through and what stays out. Here’s the brilliant part – you can actually influence what gets in. If I said to you, “Whatever you do, don’t think of the colour blue,” What’s the first thing you just did? Exactly.

It’s not because you’re a slow learner – it’s because we all process information in different ways. Every thought you have starts a chain reaction in your nervous system.
