About Shelley
Shelley Holds a level 3 Diploma in Mindfulness for People with their Animals and is a qualified Trust Technique Practitioner.
How Shelley works
She uses a mindfulness technique called Trust Technique that creates a completely relaxed environment allowing your horse to relax and express themselves through their behaviours in a safe way. As she observes their responses, she holds space for them to release any unpeace, their anxiety, reactivity or concerns caused by health issues. The technique allows your horse to find a peaceful state of mind, where they can develop confidence & begin to truly listen to your requests. This technique has an accumulative effect & brings about a lasting change, allowing your horse to let go of old fears & habits & create new behaviours from a place of confidence & self regulation. Shelley uses the thinking level thermostat to support horses into different levels of engagement. By dropping their thinking levels to 4 , you have a horse that is in the perfect listening state to promote training. If you want more of a well being benefit, Shelley will work with you and your horse over time to help them access the zero thinking state, which allows self healing to take place. Both of these have the added benefit of enhancing connection and developing a trusting relationship with your horse.
