What is your Purpose?

“What is your purpose?” 

Such a simple and yet such a huge question. We had a visitor last weekend; Alison Delaney of Little Bird

http://www.littlebird.org.uk/

Alison is one of the most inspirational ladies I know. Her passion is helping people to fulfill their dreams. She also loves horses and dogs and so it was an absolute joy to be able to pay it forward by inviting her for a day out riding my beautiful grey horse in our fabulous forest. 

  
Alison’s great gift is making all sorts of different people feel amazing about themselves. Her deceptively simple question gets right to the heart of the matter.

So here goes 

1) to leave people, places and horses better than we found them.

  
2) to provide an environment for the horses where they can live as natural a life as possible where all their needs are met #friendsforagefreedom

  
3) to train classically and correctly in a manner that puts the horse first, maximises his longevity, health and potential. To train from the beginning as if everything is possible, and to preserve the horse’s spirit so it is a true partnership, dancing together.

  
4) to participate regularly in the full spectrum of equestrian activities: eventing, hunting, dressage, and show jumping, without compromising on the above ideals. 

5) to enjoy the journey and and to learn all the lessons presented by any challenges.

6) to become the complete equestrian, and therefore the complete human.

7) always a magic number: to freely give what we most desire.
