Friday night feels, self care, having a bubble bath and getting excited about making my brumbies feeds in the morning. Winter supplements on board, lots of omegas’s and higher energy feed for warmth. Oh how I’m living my best life!!! Living in the present moment has done wonders for my mental health and I can whole heartedly share this has been because of my brumbies! I am forever grateful. ☺️ 🦄🐴🐴🐴🐴🧚🙌

Too good not to share… and if you are feeling ‘Exhausterwhelmualted” it maybe a sign to slow down and breath…. Just like the horses do as they use there out-breath 😮‍💨

Word of the day: EXHAUSTERWHELMULATED 🤣🐴☕

A condition commonly experienced by horse people, parents, adults with busy brains, and anyone who’s said:
“I’m fine”
while holding a coffee, a lead rope, emotional damage, and 47 unfinished tasks.

Symptoms may include:
✨ forgetting why you walked into the tack room
✨ staring into space whilst filling haynets
✨ crying because someone asked what’s for dinner
✨ feeling touched out, peopled out, and generally “nope”
✨ being so overstimulated you can hear electricity

Yet somehow… you still feed everyone. Still show up. Still keep going.

So if today you feel a little exhausterwhelmulated ..... please remember: you are not lazy, you are not failing, and you probably just need:
🐴 horse time
☕ f**koffee
🌿 five minutes of silence
or a lie down in a field somewhere.

Fern has spent over a year teaching me that trust has its own timeline.

This week she allowed me to touch her neck and shoulder for the first time.

It made me wonder how often we try to rush our own growth. Healing, trust, and confidence rarely arrive because we force them. They emerge when we feel safe enough to take the next small step.

Fern didn't need fixing. She needed patience, choice, and time.

Perhaps we do too. 🤍

Sometimes the nervous system just knows when it’s finally safe enough to rest… 💛

Caught Disco smiling in his sleep today, completely surrendered to the moment. No urgency. No performance. Just softness, sunshine, and a deep exhale.

One of the things I love most about the brumbies is how they remind us that regulation doesn’t always come from “doing more”, sometimes it comes from simply feeling safe enough to be.

And honestly… if peace had a face, I think it might look a little bit like this. ✨🐴

What does connection feel like, it does not have to be touch. Maybe its just 'being' with another? (Credits for photography Anoop Varghese)

As the Winter Solstice approaches, nature reminds us that not all seasons are for blooming.
Some seasons are for resting… for reflecting… and for gently holding the parts of ourselves we may not yet be ready to let go of.
✨ WOMEN IN THE WINTER FIELD ✨
An intimate afternoon immersion amongst the wild brumbies.
This gathering is for women who are feeling:
• at a crossroads
• emotionally exhausted
• disconnected from themselves
• navigating change, endings, or uncertainty
• called toward something slower, softer, and more authentic
Together, we will explore themes of endings, deep listening, renewal, and the quiet wisdom that can emerge when we allow ourselves to pause.
Through nature-based and equine-assisted experiential activities, grounding practices, reflection, and connection with the herd, this workshop offers space to simply be — without pressure, expectation, or performance.
🍂 Limited spaces available, contact: Danni 0435051117 [email protected]
📍 Moorina, QLD
☕ Includes warm drinks & nourishing afternoon tea
Come gather in the quiet season.
The light always returns. 🤍

What an truly amazing experience being photographed with my brumby herd.

At 40, I was burnt out… in perimenopause… and didn’t even realise it.

This is the moment things started to shift, and why I do the work I do today 🐎

The women who achieve their goals don’t do it because everything in life went their way.

They don’t do it because they had constant luck, endless support, or a smooth path in front of them.

They do it because they refuse to give up on themselves — no matter how difficult things become.

They wake up exhausted,
yet they still show up.

They feel fear and uncertainty,
yet they take the next step anyway.

They fail — sometimes quietly, sometimes visibly —
but they keep moving forward.

While others wait for motivation to arrive,
they choose to act without it.
Not because it’s easy.
But because believing in themselves matters more than comfort.

And that choice — made again and again —
is what carries them through. 🖤
