Across barns, paddocks and pastures, there is a quiet epidemic that too often goes unnoticed: horses living in a state of chronic tension – physically, emotionally and energetically. For many of these horses, traditional care and training methods only scratch the surface. And for the humans who love them, the impact is just as profound. At Sabre Holistics, we specialise in helping both horses and humans move from this cycle of stress into a place of trust, healing and connection.
Rooted in intuitive communication, energy healing, bodywork and somatic release, our work goes far beyond behaviour modification or performance coaching. We facilitate deep transformation by tuning into the nervous system, the emotional body and the soul story of each horse and human we work with.
Understanding the Tension
Tension in horses doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it’s a horse who fidgets at the mounting block, flinches during grooming, won’t stand still to be tacked up, or always seems on edge. Tension can also show in other ways such as a shutdown expression, a horse who has ‘learned’ to tolerate discomfort in silence.
But behind these behaviours, there is often a more subtle root cause: a nervous system stuck in survival mode. Horses, as prey animals, are constantly reading their environment – and their humans – for safety cues. If they don’t feel safe in their body or in their relationship, they cannot truly thrive.
At Sabre Holistics, we believe that horses are brilliant communicators whose signals have too often been missed or misunderstood.
The Human-Horse Mirror
It is no coincidence that many of the horses who come to us with tension, trauma, or emotional overwhelm belong to humans navigating their own challenges – grief, burnout, anxiety, or disconnection. The horse often mirrors their person’s inner world with exquisite accuracy.
This is why we treat horse owners too. Sessions are designed to support both horses and humans. Whether we’re working in-person or at a distance, we focus on bringing the entire relationship into regulation, clarity and flow.
What the Work Looks Like
At Sabre Holistics, we use a multi-layered approach to healing that blends science and spirit, structure and soul:
Equine Energy Healing & Body Reading: We tune into the horse’s body and energetic field to identify areas of stored trauma, emotional blockages or pain. Sessions often include intuitive insights, hands-on (or remote) energy work and nervous system restoration.
Intuitive Communication: Through grounded energetic connection, we receive messages from the horse that often reveal the emotional root of physical issues, behavioural concerns or relationship breakdowns.
Horse-Human Co-Healing Sessions: These powerful sessions allow both horse and human to process, release and realign together. We may incorporate breathwork, nervous system regulation techniques and spiritual guidance tailored to the pair.
Retreats & Clinics: Our signature 7-day Horse Healing Retreat offers deep immersion for horses with complex trauma, creating a safe space for transformation, reset and renewal. We also host clinics such as “From Tension to Trust” to guide horse owners in creating safe, soulful relationships with their horses.
Distance Work: We offer remote sessions, healing programmes and communication work that are just as impactful for horses and clients around the world. Spirit Sessions provide insights into how your horse is really feeling. Within these sessions, we do energy clearing, deep healing, energy reading, communication and a body scan. If traditional methods aren’t getting the results you want to see in your horse, the Spirit Session is for you.
Our Clients: Who We Work With
We support a diverse range of horses and humans, including:
- Performance horses struggling with injuries, mobility, tension, trauma and pain
- Rescue horses processing trauma, transitions or trust issues
- Highly sensitive horses who are overwhelmed by their environment
- Owners and equine professionals navigating grief, disconnection or burnout
- Horse-human pairs seeking a deeper, more soul-led connection
What unites them is a shared desire to move beyond ‘fixing’ into feeling. To create a relationship rooted not in dominance or obedience, but in mutual safety, understanding and resonance.
Why Trust Is the Medicine
In our work, trust is more than a training goal – it’s a nervous system state. When horses feel safe, they breathe differently. Their muscles soften, their eyes become brighter, they begin to invite touch, to participate willingly and to express what they really feel.
And when humans feel safe, held, seen, and supported – they too begin to soften and the healing journey begins.
Whether you’re caring for a horse with chronic issues, navigating emotional turmoil yourself, or simply longing for a deeper relationship with your equine partner, Sabre Holistics offers a path forward. A return to connection and restoration of trust.
