Balance is the key to Success
I believe the first requirement for both horse and human is to understand one another, to appreciate the experience that each individual has acquired in their lives and treating it with kindness and respect. By taking a wider view of the feelings, needs and opinions of a horse and human combination change can be initiated through deeper levels of consideration. Focusing first on healing any areas of pain, fear or insecurity, through bodywork and conversation, then creating a space of relaxation and peace of mind to establish softness from within. Seeking to create a space of togetherness and connection where there is true openness of conversation from horse and human.
My teaching encompasses Natural Horsemanship philosophy and exercises with Classical training principles to work towards mental, emotional and physical balance in the horse and a strong connection and willingness to please the human. I work horses from the ground in hand, on line and at liberty. I teach riding and ridden development work in the; halter, hackamore, snaffle bridle, double bridle or bridleless. The equipment and techniques may vary to get the best path to the goal for the partnership.
My gifts include connecting with horses and my knowledge and skills extend into Equine Bodywork, saddle fit, hoof balance, natural horse care and injury rehabilitation.
