Anna Twinney is hosting a Reiki workshop on Saturday 28th Feb and Sunday 1st March, followed by Reiki for Horses on Monday 2nd March.
Sucessful participants will be qualified up to Reiki Level II.

Energetic Healing / Reiki (aka vibrational healing) assists movement by working with life force energies. This natural healing is taught in hospitals and clinics across the country and around the world and compliments a total health plan which may involve traditional and alternative programs. It is a holistic, non-invasive technique that heals on all levels of the body, mind and spirit. Energy healing often enhances other modalities of healing, alleviates pain and has been proven to reduce stress in both humans and animals.

Anna Twinney is returning to Yorkshire in February to teach her Animal Communication techniques.

The weekend workshop, on 21st and 22nd Fenruary is open to all who have an interest in animal communication, and sceptics are more than welcome.
Anna will help you understand why your animal is behaving in a certain manner and help them to let go of any negative emotions and redirect their behaviour in a more positive way.
If you want to find out if your companion is happy, whether they are experiencing emotional upset or going through physical changes then this could be the course for you.

Well done to all the ladies who attended our latest Confidence Clinic. All did amazingly despite the wind and rain howling around the arena. We are looking forward to hearing great news from them.

Last weekend we waved goodbye to Chance and Princess (now named Foxy Princess!). Both mum and baby travelled home well, and are now out at gras enjoying the sunshine with Victoria’s other mares and foals (Foxy pictured above, right, with new friend Bombay Sapphie).
“Chance is like a different horse, she comes trotting over to see me when I go into the field” - Victoria, owner of Chance and Foxy

Internationally reknowned equine behaviourist Richard Maxwell ran another clinic at Learning To Listen last weekend. Four horses and their owners turned out, along with 45 spectators, to learn all they could from Max during the day.
We would love to run more clinics at Learning To Listen and would appreciate your thoughts on what you would like to see. If you have any ideas, please let Alex or Tracey know.

Pandora, the unruly racehorse featured on C5’s Vets In Action, passed her starting stalls test at Beverly this week.
Pandora has been in training at Learning To Listen as she wouldn’t go in or stand in the starting gates on race day. After failing one test, she had only once chance left before facing a 6 month ban from racing. Sarah and the Team came to her rescue and, fingers crossed, she will go on to enjoy her racing career.

Psychedelic (Dylan)
17.2hh
9 years old
Coloured gelding

Dylan is a lovely horse looking for a loan home.
He was bred to event although due to personal circumstances his potential has not yet been reached. He has been lightly competed at RC level at the ages of 4 and 6 and since then has done lots of hacking and some schooling.
Dylan loves to learn and needs a confident rider to take him on and help him achieve his potential.
English and Western tack and rugs come with him.

We have lots of mares and foals in training at Hill Top Farm at the moment. Mum Chance and one month old Princess (pictured above) came to us for handling, having had very little in the past. Both Mum and baby are doing very well, with Princess now wearing her first halter and Chance learning to have her feet picked up.
Jeanine’s Brooke and Listen and Emma’s Dancer and Chance are now making friends in the field. We are aiming to wean all the foals together when the time comes, so look out for news of their progress.

Sarah has been asked by the Your Horse Magazine to be one of their new behaviour experts, answering their readers’ most challenging questions every month. This comes as part of a relaunch of the magazine, which will have an entirely new look and layout.
The first magazine in the new series will be out for sale on October 9th. We would love to hear what you think about Sarah’s articles.
