Would you like to use your imagination to deepen your connection with your horse or dog? In this episode, you’ll learn how to use your imagination to not only deepen your connection with your horse or dog but also increase the effectiveness of bodywork and training sessions.
Key Takeaways:
Your brain doesn't strongly distinguish between vivid imagination and physical experience—"what you imagine, you embody."Visualizing a connection of light with your animal creates real physiological changes in your body that your animal can detect.Animals constantly read the world through somatic and energetic cues, sensing your tension, intention, and inner state.This practice creates a "connection loop"—a feedback cycle where your shifts cause your animal to respond, deepening the bond.Intentionally sending loving energy increases heart coherence, which science shows can influence those nearby.This approach helps bring love back to the center when worry, fear or expectations might be pushing it aside.The visualization "turbocharges" hands-on work like Debono Moves, creating a synergistic effect.Even just one minute of this practice can reduce your stress and invite new possibilities for both you and your animal.Resources:

In this episode, Mary Debono shares how cultivating resonance—a felt sense of connection between you and your animal—can profoundly transform your relationship with your horse or dog.
Whether through hands-on Debono Moves, quiet companionship, or simply breathing together, resonance helps you tune in more deeply to your animal—and yourself. Mary explains how subtle shifts in attention, gratitude, and gentle support can activate your animal’s nervous system in a healing, trust-building way.
Through real-life stories, including working with an aging Australian Shepherd and liberty play with her beloved horse Breeze, Mary reveals how resonance can become a guidepost for more meaningful interaction.
You’ll also learn practical ways to begin cultivating this quiet, powerful connection today—and why it’s one of the most valuable things you can share with your animal.

Many riders try to fix their horse’s movement challenges—stiffness, bending issues, or unevenness—by stretching, using stronger aids, or forcing a certain posture. But what if the real key to improvement isn’t about control at all?
In this episode, I’ll share how fostering connection instead of imposing control allows your horse to move with greater ease, comfort, and balance. You’ll learn why traditional fixes often fail, how the nervous system influences movement, and what you can do instead to help your horse find movement that feels good—without tension or force.
I’ll also share a personal story of overcoming severe carpal tunnel syndrome and how the principles I used to heal myself apply directly to helping horses move better.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a new perspective on:
✔ Why traditional stretching and corrections often don’t work.
✔ How to support your horse’s movement through safety and awareness.
✔ The role of the horse-human system in creating lasting improvements.If you want to enhance your horse’s movement while deepening your bond, this episode is for you!

Mary Debono addresses a common challenge faced by many horse owners: the herd-bound horse. Rather than using punitive methods that cause more fear, Mary shares innovative, humane, and effective ways to help horses feel secure when separated from their herd.
She emphasizes the importance of recognizing this natural behavior and working with it rather than against it.
The episode introduces several powerful practices:
Connected Breathing: A foundational practice where you place your hands on your horse's ribcage and sense their breathing, creating a tactile conversation that promotes relaxation and deep connection.Heart-Centered Appreciation: Mary explains how focusing on feelings of love and gratitude for your horse can change your physiological state in ways your horse can detect, creating a calming effect.Rhythm Circles: A specific hands-on process that provides support and relief to the horse's soft tissues, deepening the sense of connection and safety.The episode also addresses the rider's confidence, emphasizing that your emotional state significantly impacts your horse. Mary recommends her FeldenkraisⓇ-based "Effortless Balanced Sitting Series" to help riders feel more secure in the saddle.
Whether you have a herd-bound horse or a dog with anxiety (which will be covered in the next episode), these practices offer a compassionate, effective approach to building confidence and a deeper bond with your animal companion.

What if the key to helping your horse or dog move with ease wasn’t about “fixing” them but connecting with them?
In this episode, I challenge the idea of correction-based approaches and explain why true change happens through mindful support, not force. I introduce my Possibilities in Motion framework—a powerful yet simple way to connect with your animal, relieve tension, and gently guide them toward easier movement.
You’ll also hear the inspiring story of Zoey, a dog who wouldn’t use her surgically repaired leg despite all traditional rehab efforts. The breakthrough? A simple yet profound shift in connection that helped her nervous system feel safe enough to change.
This episode is for anyone who wants to deepen their bond with their animal and help them move with greater comfort, confidence, and joy—without force or frustration.
