The Dolly Communication Foundation
Confidence and Calm — For You and Your Horse
A Different Way to Be With Your Horse
If you love your horse but feel stuck, anxious, or unsure —
and you don’t want force, fear, or dominance-based training —
you are in the right place.
This Foundation exists to help owners:
Build trust
Reduce stress
Strengthen connection
Replace control with understanding
Change does not happen through pressure.
It happens through awareness, small shifts, and safer leadership.
Start Here
Begin with practical, thoughtful steps that help you understand:
How your mindset affects your horse
Why stress shows up in behaviour
Courses & Structured Learning
Guided learning opportunities are being introduced.
The first structured course will be available shortly,
offering clear, step-by-step support for owners who want lasting change.
Individual Support
Change is not only practical — it is emotional.
One-to-one support is available for owners who want personalised guidance
as they build confidence, safety and trust with their horse.
The Dolly Way™
A philosophy of partnership, trust, and safety with horses.
It guides how we interact, care, and learn — while allowing every owner to bring their own understanding and style.
The Dolly Way™ underpins everything we do at the Foundation:
from the free resources to future courses and professional guidance.
The practitioner directory is being developed,
so you can soon connect with professionals who share these principles.
About Lorraine
I have loved horses all my life.
But meeting Dolly — a quiet former broodmare — changed everything.
She taught me that partnership is not built through dominance, but through emotional steadiness and clarity.
I am not a horse trainer.
I support owners in becoming calmer, more aware partners — because the relationship begins with us.
You do not need to be perfect. - You need to be present.
The Vision
This is the beginning of a different way of thinking about horses and ourselves.
Built carefully. Grown responsibly.
One conversation at a time.
