Book private sessions | Gift Vouchers here: walksublime.com.au My team and I are working towards a vision to bring about a future wellbeing program for Australians experiencing loneliness, social isolation or difficulty 'fitting in'. I've registered the name for this f

uture not-for-profit organisation:

* Sublime Intervention *

Horses intervening in the fate of humans. The walksublime philosophy centres on people forming real, emotional, tangible connections with unwanted or rehomed, retrained horses including ex racehorses not fit for riding and Brumbies removed from our National Parks to manage environmental impacts. Wouldn't it be monumental if a public program like this could be rolled out state by state, voluntarily co-funded by private contributors within the horse racing industry itself? Imagine the vast numbers of horses that could also benefit from the daily attention, socialisation and purpose they'd be given instead of going to waste. I've set a 10 year timeframe from our date of establishment, 15 Nov 2022, a date that holds deep personal meaning. My 'why'. And it all starts right here in South Australia. Sublime Intervention can and will be realised with time, goodwill from the public and the support of our guests and customers. If you're interested in playing a small part in our progress towards achieving this vision, please show your support by liking our page, sharing your favourite posts or simply spreading the word. If you'd like to play a larger part or get involved, I invite you to reach out (contact details under Bio). With gratitude for all that I have and am able to share with my horses and other humans, now and into the future,

In the realm of magic with Arabian mare Kite.. riding as one.

Practising self-control on the trail: emergency stops, tight steering, gait changes and correct posture - all without reins.

No bridle.
No bit.
No old-school control.

Thank you Kite for being a shining light leading the way. What an honour to ride with you ✨

My kind of dressage - Man From Snowy River style!

What a privilege to be greeted with a spectacular flying change, right there in front of me, by Aussie Brumby ‘Bliss’ this afternoon.

Watch her front legs closely as she passes by, changing direction at will in one magnificent fluid motion. A private show for Gypsy Cob ‘Scout’ and I 💓💃🥰

Slow and steady, Saxon style.

Not a care in the world for my beloved ex racehorse Quattro on the trail this afternoon, nor for equally magnificent Andalusian rescue Saxon, in the overtaking lane!

Our guest and I delighted by their antics, oblivious to the hours passing, noticing only our cups filling.

* FOR EVERYONE WHO VALUES AUSTRALIA'S WILD HORSES *

This is a must see.

To understand what's happening to our Australian Brumbies right now. All unfolding behind closed doors.

A 23 minute interview with a heart-led American filmmaker who's here in Australia, trying to document the aerial culling - shooting fleeing herds of wild horses from helicopters - taking place again in Kosciuszko National Park this month, for the purpose of informing the Australian public.

The interview begins with footage of the aerial mustering of Mustangs in the US (NO shooting) for entrapment and removal from their homelands.

Thank you Ashley Avis and The Wild Beauty Foundation for being here with your videographers.

For caring about our wild horses too, and for wanting to instigate positive change in the way Australian Brumby populations are managed.

Former racehorses ‘Babe In Boots’ - my beloved Quattro, coming in for a cuddle - ‘He Is Golden’ - deeply affectionate Torquay, front - and Australian Brumby, pocket rocket Koszi, bestowing on me the highest honour this morning.

Welcoming me into their inner grassy circle, where peaceful deep breathing partners with lively ear dancing amidst REM sleep 🥹

Be still my beating heart 💓

Deferring to my partner Kite, valuing her intelligence, vastly superior senses, and ability to make sound decisions which will keep us both safe on the trail.

My esteemed privilege to ride with this Arabian mare today, wholly unbridled.

I hope you enjoy our video journal, a magical winter’s ride through the forest ✨

How does it feel? One word.

Sublime.

Mettle (noun): A person’s ability to cope well with difficulties; an inherent capacity for resilience, courage, and spirited determination.

Something neither rescued Andalusian ‘Saxon’, adopted Brumby ‘Koszi’ or I are short of, and something our guest today discovered she has in spades.

Saxon, in his greatness, revealed it to her.
