19.01.2022 Whether in the RDA setting or working with children or adults in a different environment, these are all very handy ways to help make the shift towards positive thinking. [ Image description: a poster/graphic with six tips on "How to Handle Negative Self-Talk in Kids" - Empathise: Acknowledge the hard time they're having.... - Correct them: Teach them to use positive thoughts. - Me too: Talk about similar situations you've gone through. - Model Positivity: Show them what optimistic thinking looks like. - The power of "yet": Add "yet" to the end of their negative talks. "I can't do this." "...yet." - Remind them: Redirect their focus to things they have already accomplished. ]

15.01.2022 Welcome to Daylight Saving in Tasmania, where the extra daylight hours in the afternoon, mean we can spend more time riding through puddles in the rain! #rdatasmania #daylightsaving2020... [ Image description: Lego horse and rider, riding through a puddle in the rain! ]

14.01.2022 Whether young or old, there are so many benefits through a connection with horses.

12.01.2022 You can never tire of looking at videos of Joey. Such an amazing creation and the puppeteers do an amazing job with all the horse-like nuances.

09.01.2022 Catching up on Wordy Wednesday with a novel... "The Electricity of Every Living Thing" by Katherine May is a powerful memoir. Katherine takes you for a walk along the South West Coast Path and intertwines that journey in with a diagnosis as an adult, of Asperger's Syndrome. #theelectricityofeverylivingthing... #katherinemay #southwestcoastpath #autism #asd #autismspectrumdisorder [ Image description: book cover, blue background with a blue silhouette of a women surrounded by straight lines of blue and gold interwoven all over the page at all angles.

06.01.2022 A truly beautiful creation by Tasmanian artist Matt Sloane. Such talent in our little island state. It would look great in RDA Kalang's new Sensory Garden . #mattsloane #sloanesculpture #talentedartist #recycledmetal...

01.01.2022 Thanks Performance Pilates Equestrian for offering this as a free event. Core strength and muscle balance doesn't just develop when you're riding. So much you can do off the horse as well (like Pilates), to improve your strength and balance for riding.
