Up and running for 25
The Xmas tree is packed away and the decorations are back in the box. 2025 is truly up and running. It’s a new year and it’s a new beginning for us as we have introduced our new team member into the herd. Appollo has now settled in and we’ve noticed a change in the herd dynamic – It’s a new beginning for them as they learn to adapt to this.
New beginnings has been a theme in most of the sessions we’ve run in the first few weeks. We encourage clients to reflect on what worked well for them in 2024 and what could have gone better. In looking at the year ahead- what would be something you would like to achieve? The responses to this question are as different and unique as are the clients who give them. But one theme constantly re-occurs, ‘I would like to be more accepting of things/people and not get too wound up about issues I cannot change.’
These have been powerful conversations, particularly as clients can reflect on the change they see in the herd dynamic and the positive, accepting way the horses are dealing with it. Carl Jung said ‘we cannot change anything until we accept it’. The dynamic of the herd is changing and they are all accepting of their new places and roles. As a result we have ‘calm on the farm’ again and a great learning experience for both our clients and ourselves.
