It's not just about riding anymore! So what is this all about?
I wanted to create a way for people to learn about horses. A way to teach humans how to have relationships with horses based on trust, communication and understanding.
I teach horsemanship relationships. Plain and simple. It's everything horses want you to know. And it can be better than you ever imagined it could be!
Have you ever been hurt by horses in the past? Were you ever kicked, bitten, bucked or have you had a fall? My experience includes a specialized area in helping those who love horses, but may have had an experience that set them back. I pride myself on having a "no pressure" enviornment for people who have fear issues.
There is a psychology to horses and it has been over looked. For too many years we've been taught to "show the horse whose boss", "don't let them know your afraid of them", "kick to go, pull to stop", "don't get off, the horse will think he won". The list goes on and on. The truth is that we don't know what we don't know. So we trust people with more experience to guide us. Have you had trainers tell you to do something that you felt was wrong, but did it anyway? Perhaps you even lived to regret it.
What are your horses issues?
Ever ask "Why does he/she do that?"
People think that if they aren't riding a horse, then what else is there?
Ever be going along nicely and "For no reason at all" your horse spooks, shys, explodes, etc.
If your considering buying a horse, do you know what your really getting into?
How much time have you spent learning how they think so you can be as safe as possible in any riding dicipline you choose? Do you know how to choose the right horse for you? Do you fully understand the commitment of owning a half ton animal? Are you sure of what you do know and what you've already learned?
We've all heard the saying about opinions and the things they're compared to, but now you have a place to go to get educated properly.
This program teaches you how to "read" your horse and create a language to "communicate" with him/her. It's interactive conversation through body language and use of energy. Instead of your horse feeling "owned", they feel like they are building a relationship with you. A partnership. An understanding. It's so much more than getting on and going. It's about getting you're horse to put his heart into what you'd like him to do for you.
If you love horses you know the majic of just being around them. Perhaps you've accepted things the way they are because you've never known anything different. You can have a horse who runs to the gate to meet you. A horse who looks forward to being with you. One who respects your space. And stands still to be mounted. A friend who feels that you understand them. You can be a partner to your horse so at the end of the day it was as good for your horse as it was for you. The kind of relationship where your horse wants to be with you more than he wants to be anywhere else. Even the barn or his buddies!
I give demonstrations on what this relationship looks like.
Does this look like the kind of fun you want to have with horses?
