Already a few years ago when we backed this lovely little mare! Our backing philosophy is simple: we prepare them so well from the ground, that riding is completely calm and light from the very beginning !
Our Liberty work ensures conscious balance and roundness , as well as creating the necessary energy synchronisation for rein independence ;
the in hand riding creates understanding for the ridden aids as well as working on more straightness and muscle strengthening before getting on. 🥰
We currently have one spot available for a horse to come train here at Ibalansi. WhatsApp 0730700083 for more details.

When we work with horses, we want to work together . We both Co create and evolve at the same time. If I feel that the horse is not ready for riding, then we don’t ride yet. The horses have a right to feel the same safety and enjoyment we ask of them - if they don’t feel that level of safety and enjoyment , then get off the horse and get a motorbike to fulfill your egotistical needs.

Our basis is always liberty work. If there is no clear two way communication at liberty, then anything with a halter on will be fake too.
This requires feeling unconditional love (which creates endless patience); being grounded (live in the moment and rest within yourself) and mutual trust with respect.
Those ingredients open up invisible and visible communication. It is not only reserved for the gifted or talented few, but possible for each and every horse- human relationship.
Do not doubt yourself!

The importance of the invisible innocent attitude-
Look at those frozen water molecule crystals- the top one was told ‘let’s do this together ☺️’ and the bottom one was told ‘do that!’….

I love observing the horses during the Liberty sessions- if I or their human asks with an incorrect attitude, the horses leave/ kick out/ shake their head.
I ask Their human to just try again with gratitude and love in their heart- suddenly the horses carry themselves round and proud. They feel safe and stay empowered at the sides of their humans. It’s simply beautiful.

Safe travels dear Tulsi 💗
What a phenomenal and trusting girl, loading in the dark and wind into a strange horse box , marching right in and standing calm and relaxed for the first leg of her journey to KZN .
We will miss her so much, but we are extremely grateful for the beautiful time we had working such a special baby 🥰

When you realise that you are connected to everyone and everything, that there’s a life after your life, that this is a circle…you then realise that you are not your body but the endless consciousness inside of it.
Then your heart is soft, your understanding big and the need to control others non-existent.
The horses will move alongside you as you are them as much as they are you..

So grateful for being part of all our clients horses journeys 🙏🏻
Dreamy, an ex race horse 🏇 has transformed from an anxious, explosive 🧨 ticking time bomb 💣 into a completely calm, extremely relaxed, super light and connected dancing partner.
She loves her Liberty work, is perfectly in tune with the energy, carrying herself in a lovely active stretch. Her canters are slow, settled, balanced , calm and happy 😊 she loves bitless riding and goes beautifully and featherlight. She learned that the leg can yield sideways too and steering works simply through your seat only.
Dreamy will leave next week and we will miss her 💗
Tulsi, the stunning Frisian cross mare has transformed from not halter tame (halter terrified in fact) into a super trustworthy riding partner! She is perfect in every way, and even she learned through slow development how to balance a nice collected canter despite having a looong back and Frisian trot genetics. She is the most beautiful and smart mare 💗she will be leaving into her home in Durban, so keep her in your thoughts for the long truck trip 🙏🏻
Freya, the little SPCA rescue mare is Outstanding! Not only did she physically transform from a skinny rescue into a shiny, almost round beautiful golden horse; but also mentally- no longer defensive, just extremely smart, willing and motivated! She is well on her way to our ridden work.
Jewlray , ex race horse, is going beyond Beautiful- pictures to follow.

We love being part of these horses journeys and our hearts will always stay connected in a way 💗

Our Vision & Mission

IBALANSI MEANS BALANCE IN ISIZULU. Balance is the key concept for a successful communication between horses and humans.

We aim to teach a full understanding of your horses psychology, phisyology and emotions. Only by mastering the communication at eye-level, you will be truly ready to ask the horse for permission to jump onto its back. We align psychological, physical, emotional and spiritual balance within the horse, the owner and their relationship. Horse riding is a fine form of art. Our goal is to teach this art-form. We believe in soft hands, voice commands and controlling the horse with body position and energy, rather than reins and legs. Riding should be a dialouge between horse and rider. Both horse and rider has to truly trust each other. The horse needs to know that no pain will be inflicted, and the rider has to trust the horse with his life.

“Horses do speak, but only to those that know how to listen.”
