Empowerment Coaching for Horse Owners.
Helping you become the calm, confident partner your horse needs.
Welcome to Dolly Communication
A quiet revolution begins here
This isn’t just coaching. It’s a movement.
A quiet revolution in how we relate to our horses—and ourselves.
You won’t find rigid methods or training regimes here.
Instead, you’ll find support that meets you where you are.
Small, affordable steps in everything we do.
Lots of free information and resources.
Gentle encouragement.
Honest insight.
Because your horse feels everything you carry—and so many of us are carrying more than we realise,
and the horse world feeds off our insecurities.​​
What if being better for your horse started with being kinder to yourself?
Why This Work Matters.
For You and Your Horse
​When your nervous system is overwhelmed, so is your horse’s.
And neuroscience tells us: no one, horse or human, can learn or concentrate in a state of stress.
​You are not failing.
You are likely carrying too much—and your horse feels it all.
Let’s change the story.
Let’s start with understanding.
​Because this isn’t horse training. It’s healing.
For both of you.
​
It doesn’t matter what you do with your horse, as long as you listen when your horse says “no” and understand, they are not giving you a bad day. They are having a bad day.
Hi, I'm Lorraine
and this is why I do what I do.
I’ve loved horses all my life—but it wasn’t until I met Dolly, a former broodmare with a quiet strength, that everything changed.
She taught me to listen.
To slow down.
To lead with compassion, not control.
I’m not a horse trainer. I’m an empowerment coach—here to support humans who want to be better for their horses.
Because real partnership begins with understanding ourselves.
​
I can help you learn to listen to your horse—not through telepathy or magic, but through honest, everyday connection.
A way of being together that gives your horse a voice—while still doing the things you both love.
Because It’s not just about the horse. It never was.
Maybe you’re feeling anxious.
Overwhelmed.
Or like you’re getting everything wrong — with your horse, or with life.
You love them deeply. You want to do right by them.
But still... things feel hard. And confusing.
​​
I offer you the guidance I wish I had when I first met Dolly.
To make your journey easier and to help you have more fun with your horse.

The Vision – A Dream With Roots
The Dolly Foundation
Every course, every conversation, every step of this work feeds into a much bigger dream:
A place. A centre. A healing space with land and horses—
Where humans come to breathe, connect, and become better for their horses.
This isn’t a business built for profit.
I have a pension. I take no personal income from this work.
Every penny earned goes toward creating The Dolly Communication Development Centre—
A resource-rich space to support horses and people, now and for generations to come.
This is my legacy. A foundation for change.
It starts here. With you.
"A new way forward for horse owners and people to grow, trust themselves, and build better relationships—with horses, with others, and with life."
Dolly Communication
For owners and riders
Courses, coaching and free tools to help you create calm, trust-based relationships with your horse.
You’ll learn how to understand your horse’s needs more deeply—and how to manage your own emotions around them.
“Horses that have lived under control don’t always know how to handle being trusted. There’s a vulnerable stage as they figure it out. That’s where you come in—with patience, caution and care.”
The Dolly Way™ Collaboration
For professionals who walk the ethical path
This is a home for equine practitioners who put connection first and stand up for the horse’s right to be heard.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, too “soft,” or pushed to compromise your values—you’re not alone.
“Together, we become visible. We show the world that there is another way. A better one.”
