Beyond the Ribbon

“In my eyes, my success is measured on how well my horse and I work together as a team. A ribbon is just a bonus.” 

Felicity Davies wrote those words at nineteen. It would take her another decade, a journey halfway across the world, and the unravelling of everything she thought she wanted, to discover what they really meant.

For years, Felicity measured her success with horses through ribbons, placings and the opinions of others. But as the horses she loved kept showing her, in different ways, that something wasn’t working, she found herself questioning everything she thought she knew.

Beyond the Ribbon is the story of what happened when she finally learned to listen.

This book follows Felicity's journey from traditional training and competition toward a more compassionate way of understanding horses, and herself. Through personal stories, the horses who changed her, and lessons drawn from the thousands of equestrians she has supported around the world, she shares the principles that transformed her own relationships: how to look beneath behaviour, understand what your horse is really communicating, build confidence and trust, and create a relationship that feels good for both of you.

Honest, warm and deeply practical, Beyond the Ribbon is for every horse lover who has ever sensed there might be another way, and feels ready to start trusting that instinct.

Because the real win was never tied around your horse’s neck. It was standing right beside you the whole time.
