has riding along the beach with
your horse been a life long dream?

There is something undeniably exhilarating about it —
the vast horizon, the rhythm of the waves, the sea air, and feeling of your horse beneath you.

But for a horse…
that same vastness can cause them to feel very vulnerable.
The wind, the surf, the space, the moving water — it can overwhelm them.


To avoid this overwhelm, we will introduce the horses to the waves and the sea on the ground, and in a group situation, to build their confidence and keep everyone safe.

Before we ever step onto the sand, we check:

• Emotional regulation
• Nervous system steadiness
• Grounded leadership
• Confidence — individually and within a group

We are blessed to work within a private venue where we can prepare the horses for the beach experience but also advance people’s riding skills, continue with postural development, strength and balance training for horse and rider.  

This venue offers

• Very safe horse facilities – paddocks and shelters
• Comfortable, nurturing accommodation for humans
• A sand dressage arena
• A round yard
• Trail access
• And close proximity to the beach

This unique environment allows us to hold this boutique, intimate horsemanship and riding course — refining connection, posture, and feel — as well as the beach experience.

Your dream doesn't need to remain a distant illusion, i CAN HELP YOU BRING IT TO REALITY

Hi I'm Mel,
After early success in jumping, dressage, entertainment acts, vaulting, and starting horses under saddle, I reached a point where competition and performance lost all meaning if the horse wasn’t a happy, willing participant. I had always wanted to be kind, but like many trainers, I applied pressure to get results. Over time, I began to notice the subtle signs: horses complying but emotionally shut down, angry, resentful, or anxious internally. With this new awareness, I could no longer continue in the same way. Winning meant nothing if my horse wasn't genuinely happy. I knew I had to find another way — or walk away from horses altogether.


That search evolved into Connecting with Horses & Riding with Synchronicity — a way of being with horses that is truly enriching for both horse and human in body, mind and spirit. Once you experience the magic of groundplay or riding with a horse who is inspired, athletic, balanced, and joyfully engaged, you won’t want to settle for anything less. Now, my mission is to share this approach with others so they too can experience their dream partnership: a horse who is powerful, responsive, calm, and playful — a true co-creator, full of charisma and heart.

"You have a the biggest talent I've ever seen in balancing the horse and helping the mind and the body be in the right biomechanics."

"I cannot say how much you gave to me! Neptune is good I learned a lot and we are improving. Thank you so much for coming, was a big pleasure to see you! I am really enthusiastic about everything what you taught me, I think you are a genius! I never had in my life a such an incredible feeling on the back of the horse! The only thing I don't agree is that you are not here anymore!

You have the biggest talent I've ever seen in balancing the horse and helping the mind and the body be in the right biomechanics. No Michel (Robert) or George Morris can ride Neptune like you.


Come back soon,
Love Luca

Note from Mel: I will specify here that I only rode Neptune on the flat and not over any fences - I don't claim to be a great jump rider on any account. The quality of the canter in between the fences is how I helped. Neptune was a very extreme and sensitive horse.

"Best ride ever on my dressage horse..... engaging his hind quarters and lifting through his withers and it was physically effortless"

"My greatest ‘aha’ moment for this clinic however was in the saddle. I have been playing with my new horse, who has a strong Dressage background, and a lot of brace and anxiety towards training. He had a lot of emotion towards being ridden and would quickly take offence to me being in the saddle.

Through the principles of ‘Riding with Synchronicity’, I was able to let go of any brace in my body and find harmony with him and I could not believe how quickly he turned loose, happily stretching into the bridle, engaging his hind quarters and lifting through his withers. Not only was it the best ride I had ever had on him, but it was physically effortless and when I got off, rather than feeling like I had had an hour riding lesson, I felt like I had just had a body work session!

My legs felt longer and overall I was in better alignment, rather than experiencing any sense of strain or fatigue.  Therefore it had not only been biomechanically beneficial for the horse, but also therapeutic for me."  Paisley Walker

"Best trail ride we’ve had together and I’m sooo in love with him !! "

"River and I are going really great. I came home yesterday from a trail ride, probably the best we’ve had together and I feel I’m sooo in love with him !! I’ve had some issues in the past where he would get worried and panic.

Thanks to your advice and teachings at Moonbi, this ride, River didn’t get worried and we relaxed and rode at the back of the group with plenty of chances for lots of trots and even some cantering where he felt like he’s done this all his life, so easily."

"From the deepest most sincerest place of my heart I thank you"

Hi Mel,
I just wanted to say a very quick BIG thank you for the clinic.

I am still gob smacked by the outcome & remain to ponder with excitement what the future will hold as it has now flipped everything I know on its head. Yet, I am in no rush for some strange reason to venture much further at the moment; rather just enjoy and absorb this new found way of “being” with Jim.


From the deepest most sincerest place of my heart I thank you (and no doubt so does Jim).
Brooke
