UK to USA

I'm writing this sat in the beautiful canyon I have the privilege of calling home - Mancos, South West Colorado.

I've been here for 2 weeks and for the first time alone. I'm feeling everything today with lots of tears... I knew it was only a matter of time. I had 3 weeks to pack up my old life, prepare my animals, check final paperwork, work with transporters for Phoenix and say very difficult goodbyes.

My lovely friend Annie brought Savannah for me - I couldn't bear to put her in cargo, so I paid for her to come with Savvi as a pet in cabin with Air Canada. My dogs came with me as service animals, they are trained as I have a medical condition, so all of my babies were in the cabin with me. Logistically, I could not have planned it better! It took a lot of research, phone calls and planning, but I did it.

My animals come first. It doesn't even feel right to call them animals, they are my soul partners, guides, listeners and healers.

The last few months have been incredibly intense - I've never had a period in my life like it. I've never had so much stress, over such a long period. As much as I knew this move was meant to be and that it wasn't even a choice, it's also been very challenging and hard. The whole process pushed me to my limit - can I do this? Will I make this work? Will we be happy? Am I going to impact the horse world in the way I want to? I knew the answer to all of these questions was yes, but of course there were always going to be moments of doubt, chaos, insecurities and my mind questioning me.

Being honest, I shutdown for part of this move. Especially when it came to arranging Phoenix's transport. It still blows my mind that I'm flying my horse out to America with me to start a new life. She knew we were coming before I did, she knew I had to do this and she wanted to come with me. I only did this move because all of my animals were coming with me. They are my children, my heart, my sanctuary and my home.

This was the right time to do this move, they are all young enough and healthy enough to come. It was also the right time for me. As some of you will know, my boy Sabre passed over in November 2024. He is here with me in spirit and helping to guide this journey. Our spirit connection is getting stronger but there has been deep grief that he's not here physically with us. He passed over to purposefully be my guide, he's phenomenal and I'm extremely blessed to have him guide my own spirit and soul.

As exciting as this journey is, it's also been monumental and complex. It's important to feel my emotions, which is exactly what's happened today. The flood gates opened and I started to let things out. I was so unhappy. My life in the UK broke me. My heart hurts and now I'm here I can start to heal. Nobody can really understand what you're going through, because we don't have the same past, experiences, trauma, mind, body or spirit.

I'm still stressed because I'm apart from Phoenix. I really struggle without her. It will be the reunion of a lifetime. We will begin our healing journey together as soon as she gets here, which cannot come soon enough. I've done my best to communicate and connect with her - without my ability to do this, I'm not sure I would have been able to do this.

I can't wait to bring you along our journey and the next chapter of our lives. I need time with my tribe once Phoenix is here, then I will be ready to heal horses again. I've updated my website and will continue to blog. I find writing cathartic, so I'm going to do a lot more now I'm here.

Sabre Holistics being stateside makes me very happy. The Sabre Holistic Retreat will be launching here, along with my 3 Hour Intensive, Day Intensive, clinics and group retreats - please message me if you wish to arrange a clinic with me - both participants and hosts. I will also be able to work with you wherever you are in the world through my Sabre Session - visit my Services page on my website to book online. My online courses are also available at www.sabreonlinecourses.com

I'm fundraising to get my girl here. If you can help, I would be extremely grateful! https://gofund.me/0cec7f798 or PayPal han.18@live.co.uk to avoid fees.

Thank you for being here and for all of your love and support - it means the world.

Love Hannah xx
