THE BODY AND MIND<br />
INTUITION AND AWARENESS BECOME ONE:<br />
A SPIRiTUAL RIDER’S PERSPECTIVE!<br />
CATHERINE CAN YOU GIVE<br />
US A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON<br />
YOURSELF?<br />
Always having a deep love for<br />
horses, I knew I was supposed to be<br />
working with them since I was very<br />
young, even though my family did not<br />
have our own horses.<br />
I travelled to Germany to begin my<br />
training at the age of 19. From there I<br />
moved to Japan as head dressage<br />
coach, and then back to Australia<br />
where I opened my own training<br />
stables, ‘EquinoxeEquestrian –<br />
Enlightened Equestrian Education’.<br />
After closing this I moved shortly to<br />
Malaysia where I meditated in<br />
temples and gave free training to<br />
the local riding club. I then moved to<br />
Singapore, to again work as a<br />
coach and trainer for dressage.<br />
Recently I was head coach for<br />
Arthayasa Stables in Jakarta,<br />
Indonesia, and I am about to move<br />
to Italy to again work as a trainer<br />
for dressage horses and riders. I am<br />
currently taking a year away from<br />
riding to write two more books.<br />
What is extreme about me? I am<br />
spiritual and a writer. Riding, selfmastery<br />
as well as the laws of our<br />
life, are expressed with great wisdom<br />
when you are shown how to recognise<br />
their answers.<br />
