🚨 New Course Alert! 🚨

Every horse has a story—often stored as tension, resistance, or unwanted behaviors. What if you could tap into that story, release past stress, and create a relationship grounded in trust and ease?

In this powerful new course, Josh Nichol shares three simple, daily exercises that help you read and respond to your horse’s physical and emotional needs. From body mapping to finding your horse’s balance, these techniques unlock a path toward deeper connection, freedom, and flow.

📌 What you’ll gain:

• A stronger bond through natural aids like balance and energy

• Techniques to help your horse release stored tension

• Tools to support softness, trust, and a willingness to connect

This is more than training—it’s a journey into understanding and partnership. 🐴 Watch now and start building a bond that truly honors your horse’s unique story.

Hey Friends! I've just posted this blog post on the NF (public facing) blog. https://noellefloyd.com/blogs/sport/equine-affaire-wrap-up-reflecting-on-an-unforgettable-experience. But I realized this is really meant for all of YOU awesome members that we met at Equine Affaire this past weekend. So I feel it is appropriate to post an excerpt in the Community with some pictures to make sure you saw it!

Comment if you were there, I want to make sure we stay in touch on here!

The Joy of Meeting Our Members

Speaking with our members was the highlight of the event. It reminded me just how challenging it can be to truly connect online. We put so much content out there, hoping to speak to people’s passions, challenges, and dreams—but it's hard to gauge what resonates most.

In person, it all becomes clear. Our members are wonderfully diverse—whether they’re involved in the equestrian world from the saddle or the ground, whether they have big budgets or small, juggle families, have different levels of physical abilities, and so much more. And yet, we all share a deep, soulful connection to horses. That bond is what drives us, lights us up, and allows us to chat for hours about our equestrian experiences. I’ve worked many trade shows before, often in tech, and while those were fulfilling in their own way, nothing compares to spending days with fellow horse lovers.

At Equine Affaire, each conversation felt like a gift. Talking to members left me energized, not exhausted. I found myself wide awake at night, buzzing with ideas to share with the team.

Hi! I wanted to share a victory of my own since watching Josh’s latest course. It’s given me so much more awareness of my horse’s needs. While my horse tends to be more of a Mind horse, I’ve definitely seen him experience all three needs. Over the past week, I’ve changed how I respond when I recognize he's seeking a need. For example, when he’s in a Pressure state, I used to think he was being disrespectful and would move him out of my space. I still don't let him walk over me, but now the energy is different—I've learned to use those moments to connect with him.

When I’m riding, I’ve been focusing on using my reins to help change his thoughts. The other day, we were in the ring, and his paddock buddy was getting ready to head out for a trail ride. I started feeling a bit anxious because usually, when his friend leaves without him, my horse gets upset, and I end up needing to get off and do groundwork. But this time, after just a few soft thought redirections, he stayed calm and relaxed, and we had an amazing ride. He didn’t look, lean towards the gate, or call out once. I was so happy! It felt amazing to have a better understanding of his needs so that we can have the best relationship and truly want to be together— even more than being on a fun trail ride with his best horse-friend!
