Mandy Probyn - Equine Connection

Mandy Probyn - Equine Connection Horsemanship Programmes helping owners connect with and train their own horses. Horses have been an enormous part of Mandy's life, with 40 years of experience.

Her hobby has become a full-time passion for the horse and sharing her knowledge with other horse owners. Mandy completed her Equine Coaching Certificate to conduct private lessons, which expanded to teaching Horsemanship Clinics. She firmly believes that "if you own a horse, you are a trainer" we owe it to our horses to be good leaders and teach them how to interact with their human partners. Bel

ieving it is not how tall or strong you are but how you work with these majestic animals. Mandy is only 4'11" tall; however, she is a giant compassionate leader moving their feet easily. Mandy is extremely passionate about helping women regain confidence lost due to aging or a negative experience. Through her Foundation Horsemanship Clinics, she teaches, or as she says, gives horse owners the tools to train their own horses. It was once said, "Frustration begins where Knowledge Ceases"… Mandy has found people become frustrated when their communication with their horse breaks down. Mandy empowers horse owners to feel more confident interacting with their horses, by providing the tools and knowledge to enable them to work with their horses, i.e. in the form of ground control and ridden exercises. Mandy also has a keen interest in Cowboy Dressage, endeavouring to spread the word about this fast-growing horse sport. Mandy loves the discipline and training behind the dressage but is a true Cowgirl enjoying her western saddle and fully embraces the' Cowgirl Way of Life." Mandy also has a passion for Community and Youth work so in 2023 will see her present Sue Spence Communications Horses Helping Humans programme. Mandy enjoys talking to other horse owners and helping where she can so please contact her if you have a question or enquiry into holding a clinic in your local area. Qualifications:

Artwork By Catherine Clark Dowden
Capturing the spirit & energy of animals...

Catherine is inspired by animals, the land and the stories woven through rural life. She strives to capture more than a likeness, she wants to convey the spirit, character, movement and emotion that make each subject unique.

Working predominantly in oils, she uses texture, light and movement to bring each moment to life. For Catherine, painting is a journey of discovery, storytelling and connection.

The possibilities are endless with art!

Sometimes we get so caught up in where we’re going that we forget to enjoy where we actually are.

We’re always thinking about the next goal, the next ride, the next milestone, the next version of ourselves we’re trying to become.

But this moment… this is part of it too.

The early mornings.
The messy days.
The little wins that nobody else sees.
The horses that teach us more than we ever expected.
The people beside us while we figure it all out.

One day, you’ll look back at this season of your life and wish you could step right back into it for a minute.

So don’t rush through it.

Keep working towards what you want, absolutely. But don’t forget to look around every now and then and realise…

This is your life right now. And there’s probably a lot more to enjoy in it than you think. ❤️🐴

Take the ride. Enjoy the moment. The future can wait a little

There’s something pretty special about being too busy to worry during the day… and too tired to worry at night. 😂

Some days are just full.

Feed the horses. Clean the yards. Fix something that wasn’t supposed to break. Help someone. Ride if you get the chance. Do all the little things that somehow take up a whole day.

And by the time your head finally hits the pillow, you’re not lying there overthinking everything that happened, or everything that might happen tomorrow.

You’re just tired.
The good kind of tired.
The kind that comes from a day well lived.

There’s a lot to be said for that.

Give me muddy boots, a tired body, happy horses and a clear head any day. ❤️🐴

Sometimes the easy path is really tempting.

No pressure. No stretching yourself. No one asking you to be better than you were yesterday.

But honestly… that’s not where much growth happens.

I’ve always loved how horses can teach us this. They challenge us to step up, try again, get uncomfortable, and keep learning.

Surround yourself with people who believe in you and expect more from you. The ones who gently push you outside your comfort zone and make you want to rise to the occasion.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to be willing to keep growing. ❤️

Go where the expectation is high. You might be surprised at what you’re capable of. 🐴✨
