Exploring Horse - further adventures
Join me on an adventure in search of the true connection between (Wo)Man and Horse; a
voyage of discovery that will take you from being an ordinary horse lover to being a skilled and sensitive horse-person.
Along the way you will learn skills that will improve relationships in all areas of your life.
Learn about yourself: Why you love horses, what you fear, what holds you back, what is your strength, how you can be a person horses respect and enjoy being with, how to ride in balance and control, how to communicate with horses clearly and directly.
Learn about horses: what motivates them, why they are trainable, how they can enjoy their association with humans, how we can make their lives in our care more satisfying and healthy. What they need in order to become safe and responsive partners.
The Three Vital Steps
Step One - Being Present
Our minds are always wandering, horses are always in the present, as is your body, so the journey starts with exercises that teach you how to increase your body awareness and be comfortable and relaxed with yourself in the present moment.
This leads to the fine art of Simply Being with Your Horse; mastering this skill is essential to understanding the basic principles of horse-human communication.
Step Two - Stillness in Motion
Through ground-work, learn how you can influence a horse's behavior using clear body-language and focussed intention. We will learn techniques that improve a horse's self-awareness, intelligence and self-confidence, and your perception and timing.
Step Three - Two Become One
Now that you and your horse know how to be quiet and responsive with each other, we transfer all that has been learnt so far into ridden work. You will develop your balance in the saddle and learn how to guide your horse effortlessly, so the two of you move as one.
Getting Started
