Back in January of this year, I posted about an incredibly cheap offer for one of Equinology’s equine sports massage subjects/courses.  Always curious about courses on offer, I mentioned this to my boss and she, a workmate and I all ended up signing up for the course.

Course moderator Debranne Pattillo has recently posted to the group announcing the two year anniversary of this course – congrats to the crew at Equinology!

For those of you interested in anatomy and physiology of the horse (bone and skeletal structure specifically) and the idea of massage, the Equinology site and it’s courses is well worth exploring.  The joys of many online courses is they can be carried out part time or at your own place, alongside work or other study!

“You cannot remain unmoved by the gentleness of conformation of a well-bred and well-trained horse. . . more than 1000 pounds of big-boned, well-muscled animal, yet forever a menace with it’s innocent power. . .but when it greets you with a nicker and regards you with a large and liquid eye, the question of where you want to be has been answered.”

It’s been a ridiculously long time since I posted! Don’t you love when life gets in the way? Things have been great but incredibly busy – sorry for a lack of posting.

I’ve been studying for exams of late and reading up on a psychological test by Solomon Asch, which proves how people can cave to peer pressure or give up on ideas because the majority think it isn’t possible. Ever done that?

Coming up to the end of the financial year, you may be reassessing goals and priorities and what you want to do with your horse future. Perhaps a business idea or career change is emerging… and why not?

Not all dreams and goals come to pass once they’ve been decided. Many may take years. Whatever it is that you’re hoping to achieve, consider what steps you can take today to see them start to come to fruition. And don’t worry about what the majority say – in fact, as good as it is to get the opinion of others, sometimes it’s safer to share dreams only with those who will encourage and help you to achieve them.

It’s often those in the minority who have made the most incredible changes to society – and for the better. William Wilberforce is an excellent example. Don’t forget: those who follow the crowd get lost in it.
