Summer Horse Speak Clinics in the Northwest

Gain Confidence, Clarity and Sustainable Communication by attending a Horse Speak Clinic

06/18/2024

When a horse follows you because they truly want to and not because of food or worry of being run hard until they come back, that’s when you know there is a true authentic bond, based on "better boundaries makes for better bonds". You offer something they value and present yourself as a mentor-teacher-partner.

It’s the best feeling ever.

The nice thing is they just don’t follow you around the paddock. They follow you through the stream, the trailer, past the "scary thing", or stand still for the farrier. Once connected always connected. The silver tread.

Hey, if you like evidence -based horse information and want to truly know what your horse wants and needs this clinic is for you. All my work is checked by a neuroscientist and ethologist. Plus, Horse Speck is repeatable with the same outcome for everyone and the horse. I have a free PDF book so you can check out what this new work is all about. shop. | LucindaB.

The art of the “slowdown”.

When your horse is acting out with biting they are trying to tell you something. Maybe they don’t understand what exactly you want from maybe they need you to be clear with yourself what you are asking of them. The best way to to find out is establishing “my space you space”. Not so you can be dominant but to let them know you “see” and will wait on them to settle and get comfortable with the request. All they really need is for you to acknowledge there concerns. When you do that you give them and your self time to get it together for each other.
I can show you how to do this.
I’m going to be at Mustangs To The Rescue in Bend June 1st at 1:30. There’s no charge but please consider any size donation for MTTR

I’m on the road come June 19th doing clinics on west side plz come and learn how simple their needs really are and learn the tools and language to help get you both there.

Just so everyone can understand what the Old/ New trend is of "Flooding" a horse. What is really about. At the moment it looks like its successful but at what price to the horse and the humans down the line.

Reverse round pen from a mama protector. When you understand the roles in a herd you can show the herd you truly have something to offer. Partnership, leadership, or just plain friendship what ever you want to call it Becoming a mentor map make and or protector feels authentic to them. As they say “you speaking my language!” I’ll follow you.
Horse Speak changes everything!

Starting a new horse? Working with a mustang. Or just curious what all the postures gestures and signals your horse is doing and what they mean.
I’m a horsemanship coach. If you understood how long it takes for the neuro chemicals cortisol and noradrenaline to empty out of the
Horse’s system and learn how to speed that up. Then you could get back to calm and learning much quicker.

If I was to take you to China and put you in a room speaking only Chinese and proceeded to give instructions that I insisted you follow in that room would you be confused? And defensive frustrated.
But if I came into that same room and spoke in your language and gave you those same instructions wouldn’t you be able to stay calm and listening. Just saying
Check out Horse Speak it’s their language. You want to win the mustang deal talk horse it will go 90 % faster I promise.

Do you have good manners with your horse?
How would you know whether you do or not unless you understand their language.

If they have grown up in a herd, they learn how to have good manners in the herd from their mamas and the other adult horses.
When they encounter another being they expect the same. When they don't receive information, they can understand such as "lets get alone" then they get scared and want to move away. Or for sure not come any closer.

Just think what a relief it would be when you are concerned or scarred on what is going on and the people that are telling you what to do are speaking gibberish as far as you are concerned.

Just saying if you understood what they were asking form you in your own language Then you could work on how to get your big body and mind situated to respond. Just think how much calmer you would be. You could learn what they wanted from you so much faster instead of having to learn a completely new language.

If you have seen information on Horse Speak and have had reservations, please come to an event and explore a whole new world.

Always Exploring the Science and the Language of the horse.

March 3rd 9:30 -11:00
Zoom Session - $37.00

Deep Dive - Navigating the Chessboard- 103 Roles in the Herd, Claiming Space and introducing a new horse to the barn. Understanding your place on the Chess Board and how I.I.N.N can help you navigate to stay safe. I.I.N.N. is how they start a conversation how they move through the conversation and how they end it.
If you learn how to talk to them you can help them feel safe and there for cooperative. When a horse is in a new situation its best to talk tothem in there own language. I think you would like that to if you were face with a new and scarry situation.

The photo below is a basic view of a "Chessboard" (barn/paddock). There are a few predictable elements that we have illustrated here, such as the active part of the paddock. It's so cool to see the horses react and relax when you secure the perimeter and offer protection.

Next time you are coming into your horses bubble/ space and they lower their head they are indicating to low the temperature intensity of your entrance. They’re talking to you. :)

What I teach isn't another approach to Natural Horsemanship. There are already plenty of individuals well-versed in that domain. I spent a considerable amount of time teaching and using Natural Horsemanship as a TIP trainer. I honed my skills in making the wrong thing hard and the right thing easy. Through this journey, I taught concepts like pressure and release, timing, feel, and sometimes used Clicker Training in my methods.

While I am grateful for the knowledge gained through these experiences, I also came to realize that there was something missing. It was a little black Arab named Nemo who taught me that there was an entire world of understanding I had yet to explore. He emphasized the importance of mutual awareness and looking out for one another in our interactions. This realization led me to delve deeper into what is called "Horse Speak," a means of communicating with horses in their own language.

I want others to experience the wonder of this decoded language as well. Understanding their emotions through scientific insights has also been invaluable. Whether it's working with recently separated foals or feral horses of any age, speaking to them in their own language expedites the handling process with greater clarity and less stress.

Imagine being in a foreign place, scared and alone, and someone approaches you speaking a language you don't understand—it's confusing and prolongs the process of figuring out their intentions. But if someone communicates with you in your native tongue, you'd feel reassured and understood.

Learning the fundamentals of Horse Speak allows your horse to truly feel acknowledged, resulting in a calm yet alert demeanor. It's about creating a relationship, deeper connection based on mutual understanding and respect.

Please join me February 17th or the 25th for a Zoominar. The Zoom on the 25th we will be addressing the barley handled horse in regards to "MySpace YourSpace" and Bubbles and Boundaries.
