Holiday pony connection program’s for kids ⛰ 🐴 🧝♀️ 🧝🏻 🌳
Next week we are offering holiday programs for kids, who are wishing to connect with ponies in a way that supports the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing and development of both human and pony.
First, we will focus on creating space for the humans to transition into a more self-regulated, centred and focused state. This will involve developing more coordination and becoming practised in moving in a way that will optimise the riding experience – for pony and human! The purpose is to allow a connected and harmonious dynamic with the ponies, where the kids are receptive, responsive and in tune both physically and mentally with their ponies. To support them in learning to ride well and in a way that is sustainable and healthy for both them and the pony.
Kids will learn to receive non-verbal feedback through ponies body language and expressions and also to identify and listen to their own internal guidance systems. Allowing them to engage with the horse from a place of friendliness, respect and on the level of the nervous system. Definition and implementation of personal boundaries with the horses and other safety awareness is an important aspect of this work.
Movement Therapist and Trainer Debra Rodriguez is facilitating the movement practice component and will also assist with the riding, to allow correct postural riding patterns. Riding is not compulsory or necessary to benefit from these sessions. These sessions are informed by the principles of DNS, a revolutionary approach to movement optimisation (https://www.rehabps.com/REHABILITATION/Home.html)
