Description
If you're stuck, if you cannot imagine how it might be possible to safely and successfully transition to more quiet, softer handling, training and riding of your horse... we want you to be with us in this program.
I am going to meet you where you are at, and support you with your current skill set, even if you are ashamed to show that skill set to someone who has a reputation for being frighteningly "ethical".
I have been there.
I have had to do things to horses in the past, to stay safe, stay employed, and not be totally rejected by the people around me.
I had to engage in techniques I knew were harmful so that I could survive.
I have been there.
I got out of it. Let me guide you out of it, let us all support you and help you out of it. This program is designed for you.
Come and join my team, my community, on a 12 week deep dive into some of the hardest questions we currently face as horse lovers.
Is it fair to ride my horse?
Does my horse like to be ridden?
Is it possible to ride horses without damaging them?
Is it even possible to ride without shame, guilt or fear?
How can I change my identity, without losing face socially?
How can I step back from competitions, but remain goal oriented and well structured?
How can I get unstuck on my mental fixations around riding ambitions and active outcomes?
These are the questions we are exploring in Homecoming 2.0; Ahead of the Curve.
Who this course is for:
- Horse riders and horse lovers who want to understand why riding can be so hard on both the horse and the human
Instructor
I am a horse trainer, equestrian performance coach, international clinician and hoof care provider living in Spain.
I am Australian by birth, and spent all my adult life in Europe. My previous career as a professional dancer gave me a powerful empathetic insight into the lives that many horses live as;
-Creatures of movement
-Without a voice
-Forced to perform under stress, duress and pain
-The importance of movement expression
-The connection between movement and emotion
-How important our feet are to our physiological and emotional well being
My professional certification in Horse Training, Rider Instruction, Groundwork and Hoofcare was in Poland at a unique school that always placed the horse first.
Since then my research and professional experiences has continued to expand my repertoire of training practises and theoretical principals.
Emotional Horsemanship online course is a introduction into this approach.
Barefoot Basics is my foundation for Hoofcare for Horse Owners
When to Reward, For What? Is a short course on Reinforcement Schedules and Food Rewards in Training.
