Position Owner & Manager

About Elsie grew up on their family farm in the beautiful Eastern Free State in South Africa. It is between the yellow grass-covered mountains that her connection, love and appreciation for horses began. From a very young age, she already adored and realized the benefits of being with horses and nature. The genuinity, calmness and energy they radiated always fascinated her. She is a respectable horse rider and has won several endurance horse riding racing competitions, and yet always felt there is more to these magnificent creatures. She has been breeding Arabian horses with her father since 1974. Elsie is passionate about the human body and its wellbeing and has always been engaged in sport and healthy living. She studied and graduated as a pharmacist, became a certified health and fitness professional, and was a master trainer of fitness instructors for the Virgin Active Group Health Clubs. As a Career Direct Consultant, she also emphasizes the fact that for a person to have virtuous and long term job satisfaction and be balanced in all areas of life, it is important to align personality traits, interests, skills, values and your heart. Her understanding of the body, science behind diseases and the connection thereof to emotions and thoughts, brought about the idea of combining her scientific and practical knowledge of the body, with her emotional experiences of nature and horses. The combination ensures the effective flow and equilibrium between mind, body, heart and spirit. F.E.E.L. (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning) came up as the perfect programme to add. This programme focuses on horses as partners helping humans with self discovery, healing, understanding emotions better and be mindful. As a certified F.E.E.L. facilitator, Elsie now offers a comprehensive package of wellbeing, rejuvenation and reconnection with your authentic self. At "FEEL The Way of Life", her guest farm, she offers a farm stay with the opportunity to re-align the body and mind with the heart and spirit through connecting with creation, participating in farm activities, learning to develop a functional body and opening a gateway to emotional understanding and healing through a journey with wild horses and nature. While one rests and enjoy the mountain view without worldy destractions, it’s easier to hear your heart speak, heal and readjust your focus to what truly matters. Qualifications: B.Pharm, IIFT Certified health and fitness expert, Owner and manager of Rensburghoek Guest Farm, Owner and manager of Franelzi Arabian horse stud, Certified Career Direct Consultant, Certified F.E.E.L. facilitator

Position Co-partner & Facilitator

About Salome Prinsloo is a versatile lady with her contagious energy. She has a lot of passion for what she does and in what she has to offer today. Since a very young age she had a huge love and fascination for nature, animals and plants. Although she was born in a city and spent most of her life there, she was blessed in the sense that the home where she grew up was spacious enough to allow for big gardens and various pets such as dogs, cats, geese, ducks and chickens. Already since then, Salome was exposed to activities such as gardening, bird watching, horse riding (introduced by her mother) and dog training (introduced by her father). These activities became hobbies, which then became part of her. As she grew up, her love for nature increased, and she carried it through to her studies. By the end of 2012, Salome graduated and got her Bachelor's degree in Game Ranch Management (which consists of a combination of tourism, agriculture and nature conservation) as a top student. Salome developed a huge desire to move to her family farm to help out with the Arabian horse stud with her mother, and to work as the Environmentalist, combining the following things: Nature conservation, self-efficiency, organic farming and environmental education through the tourism taking place on the farm. Her biggest hope is to share her lifestyle and knowledge to inspire the people who come across her. For Salome, her biggest reward is to see hearts touched and to build up connections. Art and music also came along since childhood, as natural talents that got developed over time, of which Salome got several accomplishments. They too add a valuable contribution to the family farm activities, where Salome makes exclusive handcrafts on requests and offer live music performances, touching many hearts with her original music. In 2019 Salome completed her training and qualification in F.E.E.L. (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning) as a practitioner. This is another facet/activity taking place on Rensburghoek guest farm. With the incorporation of the wild Arabian horses on the family farm, she and her mother (as facilitator and co-facilitator) offer one on one sessions with clients, where they get opportunities to be in the presence of the horses and have guided interactive activities with them. During those processes, through each client’s personal experience ( based on pure intuition), he or she is taken on a journey to self discovery and healing, “Feel to heal” as Salome would say. Through the interaction with the horses, the clients become aware of their inner feelings (as emotions tend to surface) and blockages are revealed to the them. Thus the opportunity is created to allow for awakening, self awareness, ability for emotional agility and tools for positive life decisions/changes. So all in all together with her knowledge and love for nature, non complicated farm life, now combined with F.E.E.L., she brings a new dimention into people’s lives.
