From where I stand in order to improve welfare for horses the professionals need to come to some sort of agreement on a few things.

Professionals include: upper level competitive trainers/riders across all disciplines, veterinarians, licensed body workers, schooled dentists, maybe hoof care providers too!

Can we all agree that a horses are no where near fully mature at 2? We have the science to KNOW this is fact. Major key areas of the horses body don’t mature until 2-3 years later!

Can we all except that just because these are large animals doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain like we do. Watch a horse be stung by a bee; looks a lot similar to a person getting stung!

We all want to ride horses who truly are accepting of being ridden, right?

Can we all agree on those? These should be no brainers right?

Because maybe, just maybe we will have less sore 12 year old horses. Who have “some maintenance required”

Less crippled 6 year old race horses.

Can we avoid using outright painful equipment to force horses to submit? Equiptment that is scaring or causing blood. I handle a variety of horses with varying “behavior” problems. I don’t need to inflict pain on them in order to get “obedience”.

Can we we improve the life of the horses who are teaching our youth? So that our next generations do better than us? Ratherr then get the accostumed to seeing unhappy unwell horses.

It is coming down to the professionals to acknowledge and accept the facts. Society is watching these professionals closely. Professionals are forced to be more accountable for their actions because someone is always filming.

The more information spreads we can change the life for your average amateur horse and rider.

Know where you stand come learn the facts inside and out. We will be scratching the surface of equine wellness in our July class.

2025 Clinics near you: Australia, New Zealand, Canada & USA.

This year I am leaving home twice to travel for clinics. We have a total of 13 clinics this year. 11 Introductory 2-Day Clinics, and 2 Deep-Dive 3-Day Clinics.

11 of the clinics are to brand new locations and hosts I have not visited before. I am very grateful to be travelling to meet you all.

If you are considering to join us, a gentle reminder that we close ticket in-takes 48 hours prior to the clinic without exceptions. We do not take same day sign ups. So, if you can, please be prepared in advance.

An Emotional Horsemanship clinic is a place where we explore a method of training where the individual nature of each horse and person is allowed to be fully open and present. These clinics are a place where not a single horse will be forced, your clinician will know your name and your horses name and parts about your history before we begin, where auditors are encouraged to create a quiet and supportive learning environment. These clinics explore a method of developing, caring for, training and enjoying horses without escalating pressure and without manipulation. We can promise no huge "Oohs" and "Ahhs", but rather a growing sense of glow, a developing awareness of what's possible, and the seeds planted for the hopeful future your inner horse-child dreamt of.

I can also promise I am not showing up to show off. I attend in assistance of the horses and their people. It doesn't matter if I can do it with the horses, it matters if their human can do it. That is essential.

Safe spaces are only safe if they are not safe for everyone. These clinics generally are not safe for people harboring resentment, narrow-minded thinking, biases, prejudice or entitlement. I am not supposed to say that out loud or plainly... it is crass of me to do so. But if you would like to attend a clinic, this is a preview of my communication style. Some find it repellant, some called it "refreshing". Either way, I will be myself 100%.

If you would like to attend these clinics, find the link below to explore all 13 of them.

Fun hint, we are thinking of using 2026 for other things than clinics, these might be your next best opportunity to see a clinic in the immediate future!

Oh, and existing EH Students, if you want to attend a clinic with a high concentration of community members, looks like Taos New Mexico is going to be a great big family party!
