” she said YES! “
By the morning of the big day, I was super nervous. Having very little experience around horses at all, combined with one of the biggest days of my life, it was hard not to feel overwhelmed.
However…I was so relaxed when we finally reached the spot that Mel had mentioned and I knew it was absolutely perfect, a small green meadow covered in wildflowers and not another soul in sight.
I’ll be forever grateful to Mel, Kite and Saxon for helping make it all happen and giving my fiancée the fairytale day she had dreamed of.

” the most amazing
experience
money can buy! “
I was present the whole time and not thinking about anything but the moment which is crazy for me!
I HIGHLY recommend Walksublime for any animal lover and would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you Mel for everything, it was truly amazing.

“we will never see horses the same way again “
Thanks Mel for sharing your beautiful horses with me and my teenage daughter today. We were submerged in the experience and left feeling calm and grounded and in love with Saxon and Kyte. We will never see horses the same way again…
The experience was unforgettable and walking with horses is sublime, far better than riding them.

” magical “
What’s a magical experience? It’s not often as an adult one gets to say they experienced or shared a magical moment.
That’s how I describe my recent experience with ‘WalkSublime’…

“ powerful “
Learning to be at one with your horse is a powerful experience. A language in partnership walking side-by-side left me feeling so complete. This walk was a unique grounding, confidence building experience…
Torquey has left a special hoof print in my heart reminding me that the friendship between horse and human can be so humbling and healing.

“changed my life”
Experiencing this has definitely changed my life around without knowing it. This is an amazing program… lifting weight off your shoulders and feeling like you’re in a new world where it’s just you and your horse.
Mel helped me be present with emotions and let them go and connect with Kite, being one with Kite. I honestly felt like I was floating on a fluffy cloud.
You will be heard and feel connected, leaving feeling fresh and full of accomplishment.

” find your ‘calm’ “
Walking in nature and working with horses (the most intuitive animal in existence!) is one of the best ways to ground yourself and realign your perspective.
Mel offers such a warm welcome…as well as leaving you plenty of time to just ‘be’. For anyone looking for a way to slow down and find their ‘calm’… highly recommended.

” truly have to
experience to understand “
Just to Be with Horses is something you truly have to experience to understand. Time seems to slow. You share a moment of connection — wordless, grounding, and deeply calming. Their stillness and focus on the present somehow teaches you to do the same…
Still not sure what I even mean? Book it anyway. Words can’t capture the magic of these interactions. You just have to feel it for yourself.
-Michael, just being with Australian Brumby ‘Bliss’ and Andalusian X ‘Saxon’
” decompress and be inspired “
Wandering amongst the trees and wildflowers with our horses, listening to the wind and the birds on a spring morning was, as the name says, simply sublime. Mel is an excellent host, in tune with both animals and people.
If you are wanting to recharge, decompress and be inspired, this experience will not disappoint.
-Benedict, walking with Thoroughbred ‘Quattro’
” profoundly calm and at peace “
As we walked through part of the divine Kuitpo, a strange thing happened to me. I felt profoundly calm and at peace. Gratitude to Mel for her skill as teacher and guide, and her generosity in sharing her story, her horses and her own peace.
And gratitude to Quattro for her patience and acceptance…

” intuitively knew what I needed “
Spending time in the forest, walking Saxon and talking with you was the most beautiful healing I could possibly have asked for… You intuitively knew what I needed and I left there feeling peaceful and relaxed. It was a wonderful reminder that life holds so many incredible gifts.
-Stephanie, walking with Andalusian X ‘Saxon’
“deeply nourishing”
Thanks Mel and Kite for the deeply nourishing walk. Our time together was sublime with meaningful conversation and reconnecting with my childhood love of horses…
-Anisha, walking with Arabian ‘Kite’
“ exceeds expectations “
An experience that exceeds expectations. Mel is a wealth of knowledge and patience. I took myself and my daughter ( 7 ) for a morning walk with her horses in the forest.
Starting off with gentle introductions to them, easing into a hands on experience of grooming, transitioning into leading. Not only an educational day as you fall into a natural state of mindfulness…
-Hannah, walking with Ex Racehorse ‘Torquey’
“I really wish I’d learnt to ‘walk’
before I learnt to ride ”
Having a dog in one’s life can teach you a lot about yourself and if you take the time to honestly connect it can be a very special bond indeed. A horse is that times 10! Because with a horse you are dealing with a very large animal with a natural flight, not fight, instinct.
Being on the end of a horse lead as opposed to a dog lead is a much more confronting but ultimately a much more enriching experience. It demands more of your courage, observation, physical confidence, respect and self esteem. Which in turn leads to personal growth! … P.S. I really wished that I had learnt to ‘walk’ before I learnt to ‘ride’.
-Julienne, walking with Brumby ‘Koszi’
“awesome and wholesome”
Words can’t express how awesome and wholesome it is to guide a beautiful horse through a calm forest. The power and energy it gives you while feeling so connected to nature is truly special…
